Why the Skin Around Your Eyes Ages So Quickly
When it comes to restoring a youthful look, your eyes are your greatest opportunity. Whether it’s wrinkles, hollowness, puffiness, or just plain tired-looking, your eyes experience aging before any other part of your face.
The eyes are the first to go and the most important to fix.
There are several making factors making the eyes more vulnerable.
- The skin itself is very thin—because of that, the skin around your eyes is more susceptible to breaking down, meaning it’s that it’s more prone to laxity, developing fine lines and wrinkles, becoming looser, and even thinner.
- The tissue below the eyes is naturally missing a lot of essential elements that make your skin strong—there’s very little soft tissue like fat or muscle. Lack of those supporting elements increases the likelihood of the skin caving in.
- Making matters worse is the anatomical fact that the skin itself is literally covering the hollow space of the eye socket.
- There is also the issue of dark circles and puffiness that can be a result of lack of sleep, diet and stress.
