Anti aging solutions for a younger look

The eye contour is the first area of ​​the face to betray our age and our lifestyle. When wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness become more marked, there is always time to react to limit the effects of time and fatigue.

Nearly 28,000 blinks per day (i.e. more than 10 million per year), 22 muscles, an area almost devoid of fat and whose microbiome is unbalanced… The skin around the eyes is put to the test and tends to age prematurely . She also shows signs of fatigue that are not found on the rest of the face, in particular dark circles and swelling, which dig into the features.

Anti-aging eye contours help limit wrinkles and sagging and nourish the skin. Because it tends to thin out and dry out quickly. These creams are packed with active ingredients such as collagen or hyaluronic acid, and only a small pea is needed for each eye.

The good gestures

  • Apply the anti-aging treatment from the outer corner to the inner corner. Often puffiness and wrinkles accumulate with age. In this case, come back outwards by exerting gentle pressure without pulling the skin.
  • Smooth the epidermis of the eyelids once or twice a week with a fairly rich mask, adapted to the eye contour. Apply it with a brush, making an 8 around the eyes without forgetting the frown line (between the eyebrows).

Anti-aging: tips for good drainage

Under the eye, a small cushion of fat protects the eyeball. Due to a lack of lymphatic drainage, this fat can become loaded with excess water, hence the appearance of puffiness. The causes are multiple: fatigue, tobacco, alcohol, sleeping pills… To decongest them, it is necessary to exert a gentle pressure which allows the water to be expelled. Associated with a draining eye contour based on plants or active ingredients such as caffeine, it is the anti-puffiness gesture.

The good gestures

  • Start from the birth of the nose, go up along the brow bone, then come back under the lower eyelid, from the inner corner to the outer corner. Gently massage the area with your fingertips, patting from the inside out of the eye to kick-start the lymphatic system.
  • Wake up your eyes in the morning by decongesting them with cold compresses soaked in thermal water or floral water stored in the fridge. Put one on each eye and press firmly for a few seconds.

Anti-aging: make-up tips

Thanks to make-up products, you can mask the tint of the eye contour and reduce the hollows. Be careful to choose the texture and color that suits you best. Another tip: it is always better to keep your hand light, for makeup that remains natural and discreet.

The good gestures

  • Apply a yellow concealer if your skin is very fair, coral if it is dark, to avoid the gray effect of classic concealers on brown eyelids. Tap the material with your finger without stretching too much to fix it well.
  • Avoid mascara on the lower lashes. This marks dark circles more.
  • Abandon the mauve and purple shadows applied to the mobile eyelid: they bring out the coloring of the ring.

Anti-aging: make-up removal tips

Make-up removal is the first gesture of care. Be careful, because the more the skin is mistreated, the more it risks withering prematurely. So avoid rubbing a little brutal, irritating to the eyelids.

The good gestures

  • Use a gentle make-up remover and good quality cotton pads (like Demak’Up Sensitive).
  • Generously soak the cotton in the product, leave on the eyelid for thirty seconds.
  • Remove impurities by making slow movements in the direction of the eyelashes, that is to say from the root to the tip.
  • Finish with a Cotton swab, to dislodge all the small residues of shadows.

Why take care of the eye contour?
“The skin of the eyelids is one of the thinnest of the skin covering, explains Michèle Sayag, director of medical strategy at Bioderma laboratories. It is 3 to 4 times thinner than on the rest of the face.” Added to this is a small amount of collagen and elastin, therefore loose connective tissue, and few sebaceous glands, so that the hydrolipidic film has difficulty playing its role. Like the rest of the face, this permanently exposed area is prone to premature aging. Not to mention the incessant blinking of the eyelids which further weakens the skin. Ideally, eye contour care should contain as few ingredients as possible, to minimize the risk of allergy and intolerance.

The best prevention is above all sun protection. On sunny days, apply an eye contour treatment with a high SPF index to protect against UV rays. It must be accompanied by sunglasses for optimal protection. At the same time, it is important to maintain good hydration, favoring active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils or shea butter. You can also act through a diet rich in antioxidants: eat almonds, cocoa, strawberries, apples, or think about food supplements, which act on the whole body and can be good allies in this targeted area.

Are there solutions to deflate the pockets?
Water infiltration on the eye contour area is due to poor circulation. A problem that seems more marked in the morning, because the lying position during the night is an aggravating factor. Lack of sleep and alcohol can also promote the appearance of puffiness. To fight against this phenomenon, adopt treatments containing decongestant active ingredients thanks to their veinotonic effect. This is the case with ginkgo biloba, horse chestnut, witch hazel and caffeine, to be combined with draining maneuvers, to boost the elimination of excess liquids. As the cold also has a decongestant effect, don’t hesitate to put your skincare products in the refrigerator or use products with a metal or ceramic tip, in order to reinforce the effect of the active ingredients.

How to avoid dark circles?
There are two types of dark circles. Dark circles are, like bags under the eyes, due to a problem of vascularization. They can be treated with the same type of active ingredients: ingredients that stimulate microcirculation, such as horse chestnut or ginkgo biloba. Dark circles, on the other hand, tend to affect dark skin, and are of pigmentary origin. Most of the time hereditary, they are difficult to fade because cosmetics have a limited action on this type of dark circles. They can be reduced with treatments that help regulate melanin, with liquorice extract or vitamin C, for example, but the action of pigment lasers at the dermatologist will be much more effective. However, you can camouflage them in the blink of an eye with concealers containing orange pigments, which neutralize the brown appearance.

Can we put an end to sagging skin?
Eyelid ptosis can be corrected with treatments that offer a slight lifting effect. Some ingredients can also have a long-term action. “This is the case of vitamin C, for example, which stimulates fibroblasts and has a slight tightening effect over time”, explains Dr. Marilyne Plasqui, aesthetic doctor. Warning: before applying your care, check that it can be applied to the upper eyelid. But, once again, cosmetics cannot work miracles. If you have significant sagging, opt for medical techniques, such as Plexr, which tightens the eyelids without surgery.
