Ingredients to Avoid

Mineral oils, petrolatum and paraffin wax are ingredients in practically every cosmetic on the market, particularly the cheaper ones.  These petroleum derivatives clog the pores, cause ever increasing dryness and interfere with the skin’s natural rejuvenation process.

The body naturally produces new skin cells on a daily basis.  The process slows down somewhat with age, but other things interfere with the process, regardless of your age.

Preventing eye wrinkles (any wrinkle really) revolves around supporting that natural process.  When we stop producing new skin cells, our faces start to sag, wrinkling begins, the complexion dulls and we look older, in general.

 The first step is to protect the area around your eyes from the sun.Your second step to prevent eye wrinkles is to check your list of ingredients and stop using products that contain petrol based oils.

Step 1:  Preventing Eye Wrinkles

If you’re a tanner, you need to wear large sunglasses.  Your skin’s color may be lighter around your eyes.  But, if you really want to prevent eye wrinkles, you want that area to remain un-tanned, as much as possible.

There is another reason that wearing sunglasses is a good step towards preventing eye wrinkles.  If you don’t wear them regularly, you squint.  Habitual squinting plays a role in the formation of crow’s feet.  Those are the tiny lines that people get at the corners of their eyes.  Of course, you’re not going to get them, because you are going to take the necessary steps to avoid them.

In order to prevent eye wrinkles, you should choose sunglasses that block UV rays of light.  UV radiation from the sun increases the number of free radicals present in the skin’s cells.  If they get out of control, those radicals damage the cells, the collagens and even the cell’s DNA.  This damage causes wrinkling, sagging, the other signs of aging and skin cancer.

Step 2: Prevent Eye Wrinkles

To protect yourself from radical damage, you should use a daily gel or cream around your eyes (and on the rest of your face, actually) that is rich in antioxidants.  They are the only things that will effectively counter the radicals and prevent them from doing damage.

Overall, you will be most successful at preventing eye wrinkles, and other signs of aging, if you use an anti-oxidant cream during the day and another at night.  Most of the new skin cells are produced while you sleep.  A nourishing night-cream encourages the production of new cells, keeps your skin moist and helps prevent eye wrinkles.

Ingredients to look for include coenzyme Q10, natural vitamin E (not the synthetic type) and manuka honey enzymes.  All honey has some antioxidant activity, but the manuka variety is the most active and most effective for preventing eye wrinkles.

To summarize: To prevent eye wrinkles- (1) Watch your sun exposure.  Wear sunglasses that block UV rays of light.  Wear a hat.  (2) Use a daily cream or eye gel at night and during the day.  Watch the ingredients.  For more details on eye wrinkle prevention   see the author box below.

What I think is a real shame is that people have to try to come up with home remedies for preventing eye wrinkles, because the cosmetics industry cannot formulate a product that will give them the results that they are looking for. If you are one of these people who are putting hemorrhoid ointment around your eyes because it’s more effective than the products that you’ve been buying I want to tell you that there are better solutions.

I say this because what you are doing when you use an astringent to prevent eye wrinkles is temporarily masking them. Tightening up your skin for a few hours may make you feel a little better about the way that you look, but it is doing nothing to solve the problems that caused you to seek treatment in the first place. These underlying problems are going to have to be addressed in order to truly solve your problem.

The reason that you have to find a solution for preventing eye wrinkles in the first place is that certain processes in our bodies begin to slow down as we age. These include the ability to produce collagen and elastin, the ability to efficiently remove fluid and hemoglobin from our eyes, and poor circulation. All of these factors play a part in why we appear as we do when we age.

There is a formula that was created by a company in New Zealand that produces all natural anti aging creams and lotions that is able to prevent eye wrinkles by returning these declining processes to normal. They do this first and foremost by providing you with an ingredient known as Functional Keratin that greatly increases the production rate of both your collagen and elastin.

Another ingredient that they use for preventing eye wrinkles is a sea kelp extract from Japan called Phytessence Wakame. What this ingredient does is that it returns your skin’s levels of hyaluronic acid back to normal. This tissue was not lowered by declining production, but instead was being broken down by an enzyme in your skin that the sea kelp extract deactivates.

The return of these three structural tissues is enough to prevent eye wrinkles, but the company goes a little bit further with the inclusion of Eyeliss and Haloxyl. These two ingredients combine to improve circulation to the area, speed up the fluid and hemoglobin removal process, and increase firmness under the eye by thickening you skin there.

Preventing eye wrinkles is better done with the right tools, and through the use of products containing these ingredients you are going to accomplish removing all of your lines and wrinkles, and not just the ones around your eyes.

Have you ever noticed how delicate the skin under your eyes is? Your eyes and the area around your eyes may be small but it is also the most attractive part of the face. If you have wrinkles around the eyes, it will make you look way older than you actually are. Preventing eye wrinkles can be very difficult if you do not pay attention to it at the right time.

REASONS FOR DAMAGE AND HOW TO REPAIR IT.

- One of the main reasons for wrinkles is sun damage. Exposing yourself to the harmful effects of the sun can causes irreparable damage to your skin since the rays suck out the oxygen. To prevent oxidation, as the process is called, there are some little things you can do in your day-to-day life.

- Wear sun glasses every time you step out into the sun.

- Start using some natural creams without side effects so that they form a shield around your eyes for preventing eye wrinkles whenever you step out.

- Sleep on your back and you will have lesser eye wrinkles than others who do not do so. When you bury your face in your pillow, the wrinkles on the pillow get ironed onto your face while you sleep. It may sound ridiculous, it makes sense. If you simply can’t fall asleep on your back, take measures! Get yourself a satin pillowcase. They look and feel wonderful and reduce the stress on your skin. You may even notice a difference in the condition of your hair with a satin or silk pillowcase. The standard cotton pillowcases can pull moisture from your hair; it can do so from your skin too. Make the switch and check out the difference.

- Drinking water is the first step towards any skin remedial program. Water consumption is the key towards keeping the skin hydrated. You should drink enough water to keep your urine pale. Drinking an adequate amount of water will keep the moisture in your skin intact.

- Resist the temptation to sunbathe. Sun exposure damages your skin cells and quickly deteriorates the elastin fibers and collagen, which supports the skin. They help in keeping the skin resilient and bouncy. When the elastin fibers become stiff, the skin droops and creases into wrinkles. Therefore, avoid exposure in the sun as much as possible. You will be doing your skin a world of good.

FINALLY!

A few simple lifestyle changes and use of well-chosen quality products can also help in preventing eye wrinkles. There are many natural ingredients that can be made into very effective skin treatments. Certain foods also slow the process of aging. Slowing down the deterioration of your skin and preventing eye wrinkles is simple provided you know the right way to do so.
