While wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process, it’s never fun to see them start to appear. Eye wrinkles are often the first to develop, mainly because the skin around the eyes is much thinner and more fragile than the skin on the rest of the face. The eye area is also subjected to a large amount of wear and tear, exacerbating the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.
While prevention is always better than cure, there’s still plenty that you can do to banish the appearance of eye wrinkles once they start to creep up on your face. Keep reading as Avinichi shares eight effective tips to follow:
1) Protect Your Eye Area From the Sun
Considering that up to 80% of eye wrinkles can be attributed to sun damage, protecting your eye area from the sun needs to be the very first step that you take. Simply put, you’re never going to be able to eliminate the appearance of eye wrinkles if the sun is being allowed to continuously worsen your creases while causing new ones to form.
Your first point of call should be to find a sunscreen that can safely be used on the skin around the eyes. Look for a product that’s compatible with your skin type and that, ideally, also contains some moisturizing ingredients.
In addition to ensuring that your eye area, as well as the rest of your face, is consistently covered with sunscreen, there are a few extra sun protection measures that you can take. Sunglasses can make a big difference, especially models with oversized frames. Wide-brimmed hats, too, shelter the skin around the eyes from the sun’s damaging UV rays.
2) Add Vitamins A and C to Your Skincare Routine
There are several ingredients out there that are capable of minimizing the appearance of eye wrinkles. However, vitamins A and C are revered for being two of the best.
Both of these vitamins are powerful antioxidants. They tackle the look of free radical damage in the skin. This enables them to smooth away the appearance of wrinkles while giving the skin a firmer and tighter finish.
Serums tend to be the best way to give your skin cells access to these ingredients. Look for one that combines them both, just like the Avinichi Hydrating Multifruit C-Serum. In addition to vitamins A and C, this formula also contains vitamin E. Black mulberry extract, jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, and olive oil can also be found in this serum. All are loaded with potent antioxidants that will support the vitamins and bring you even better visible results.
3) Keep Your Eye Area Hydrated
One way to quickly have your skin looking plumper and fuller is to give it some extra hydration. Think of your skin cells as a balloon, with the air inside being moisture. A lack of air causes that balloon to deflate and shrivel up, resulting in creases appearing. On the other hand, give the balloon sufficient air, and it will inflate, providing a much smoother and tauter finish.
Of course, with the skin around the eyes being so thin, you don’t want to weigh it down with heavy ingredients. The best way to hydrate this area is with humectants. These are lightweight ingredients that bind moisture to the skin. They work quickly to bring about a plumper complexion.
At Avinichi, we have several hydrating products for you to choose from. One of these is the Hydrating Antioxidant Serum from our Phyto Thermal Collection. This serum is brimming with multiple hydrating ingredients, including sodium hyaluronate and glycerin. It also contains a blend of peptides. These not only hydrate the skin but, as you’re about to find out, provide some other important benefits too…
4) Invest in Peptides
Peptides are ingredients that are commonly recommended to anyone dealing with wrinkles, including eye wrinkles. Why? Because not only do they function as hydrating humectants, but they also leave the skin barrier feeling stronger while soothing the feeling of inflammation. Both a weakened skin barrier and inflammation contribute to the aging process. Yes, this affects the skin all over your face, but with the eye area being thinner, it’s the first to show the effects of this.
There are a number of different peptides out there – the best products will combine a few of them. Take the Avinichi Eye Rescue Phyto-Serum, for example. It contains a blend of three different peptides, bringing them together with other ingredients that will enhance their visible effects. With this serum capable of hydrating, smoothing, and tightening the look of the skin, it’s a formula that’s well worth having if your aim is to erase the appearance of your eye wrinkles.
5) Start Microneedling
Microneedling, also referred to as derma rolling, is a technique that is becoming increasingly popular. If you’ve never heard of it before, you may be slightly alarmed when you first see a derma roller. These handheld devices are fitted with lots of tiny needles that are rolled over the skin to create micro-punctures in the skin’s surface.
Why would you want to do that? Because of how it leaves skin cells feeling stimulated in a way that, over time, significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Studies show that microneedling also improves how elastic the skin feels, giving it a much tauter finish.
While you could visit your dermatologist for a microneedling treatment, you’ll need to book yourself a few appointments. The results of microneedling can only be seen after a minimum of four sessions. You’ll then need to keep going back for maintenance appointments. This is why many people prefer the convenience of derma rollers that can be used at home. Splash out on Avinichi’s Mulberry Hydrating Regimen, and you’ll have a derma roller of your own, along with three topical products that are full of hydrating ingredients and antioxidants.
6) Give the Wrinkle Surface Smoothing Solution a Try
While using the right topical products will go a long way in helping you to eliminate the appearance of eye wrinkles, they’ll take a while to work. Most topical products need at least a couple of months to produce a noticeable change in the skin. This can be frustrating if you’re hoping to see smoother-looking skin sooner than that.
Fortunately, this is where the Avinichi Wrinkle Surface Smoothing Solution comes in to save the day. As you can tell from its name, this product is all about smoothing away the look of wrinkles. The best part? It does so pretty much instantly.
This solution is formulated with a range of fast-acting ingredients. It brings together peptides, sodium hyaluronate, squalane, DMAE, alpha-hydroxy acids, and more, all of which work to plump, firm, and tighten the complexion. It’s a great product to use before special occasions as it will give your face a wrinkle-free finish – no filters needed!
7) Aloe Vera to the Rescue
You’re probably familiar with aloe vera. This botanical has been used for centuries for a variety of purposes. Most notably, it’s a superstar at soothing the feeling of inflammation. It leaves the skin feeling calmer while also providing a burst of hydration.
While that may be the case, aloe vera offers up some other benefits too. One of these is its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is likely partly due to its hydrating effects, as well as its numerous bioactive compounds that provide a breadth of antioxidants.
While you could buy an aloe vera plant and extract the gel yourself, the process can be time-consuming and messy. For the sake of convenience, most opt for skincare products that contain the ingredient instead, just like the Avinichi Noni Pore Purifying Toner. Rather than making use of aloe vera leaf extract, this formula contains aloe vera leaf juice. This gives you a lot more of the ingredient than most other products do. Swipe it over your skin after cleansing, and your skin should immediately feel fresher and calmer.
8) Be Gentle When Cleansing and Exfoliating
Cleansing and exfoliating are important parts of any skincare routine. Your entire face, including your eye area, should be cleansed and exfoliated regularly. However, use the wrong cleanser or exfoliator, or even the wrong technique when applying them, and you’re likely to make your eye wrinkles even worse…
How? Once again, it all comes down to how fragile the skin around your eyes is. This area needs to be treated with a very soft touch. Any harsh ingredients, which cleansers and exfoliators often contain, or rough movements when you’re washing/exfoliating the area, will only place pressure on your skin in a way that exacerbates wrinkles.
So, in addition to being gentle with your application technique, make sure that the cleanser and exfoliator that you use are both mild enough to be suitable for the skin around your eyes. When it comes to cleansers, our top choice would be the Noni Mousse Cleanser. Mousse cleansers are revered for being gentle and moisturizing, which is exactly what your eye area needs.
In terms of exfoliators, we would recommend trying the Avinichi Noni Polishing Peel. It makes use of mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that comes from almonds. Thanks to its large molecular size, it’s the least irritating of all of the AHAs as it won’t penetrate too deeply into the skin. Instead, it will exfoliate the skin’s surface while providing the skin with the likes of vitamin C, green tea extract, and noni fruit extract. All are loaded with powerful antioxidants that will help to quickly brighten and tighten the look of your skin.
