Eyes are the windows of the soul, and the importance of good eye skin to a person’s overall image cannot be overemphasized. However, due to the fragility of the eye skin, it is also most prone to problems. The aging of the skin often starts from the eye area, and the first wrinkles appear on the eye area. The eye skin needs to make a lot of expressions in line with the face, blinking more than 20,000 times a day, such a large amount of exercise, if you don’t take care of it carefully, as you age, it is easy to appear sagging, wrinkles, and eye bags. Causes serious aging of eye skin. No matter how perfect your makeup is, the various problems of the eye skin will greatly reduce your beauty.
Characteristics of eye skin
Eye skin is one of the thinnest skins in the body, only 0.33-0.36 mm, which is about 1/4-1/3 of normal skin. Because the eye skin is thin, external ingredients are more likely to penetrate the skin, so its resistance to the outside world is weaker. Therefore, the eye skin is more sensitive than other skins and is susceptible to external stimulation. Skincare ingredients are more demanding in terms of mildness.
In addition to thin eye skin, sweat glands and sebaceous glands are much less distributed than other parts. We know that the sweat and sebum secreted by the skin form a layer of sebum film on the surface of the skin and form a weak acid environment on the surface of the skin to protect the skin from external damage. At the same time, it prevents the evaporation of water, maintains the skin’s moisture, and moisturizes the Effect. There are few sweat glands and sebaceous glands in the eye skin, and the amount of sweat and sebum secretion will be reduced a lot. The sebum film that protects the skin will also decrease. The skin around the eyes is prone to dryness and dehydration. Long-term dryness and lack of water on the skin will affect the normal internal metabolism and cause various skin problems.
4 common eye problems
Problem 1: Eye bags
Puffy eye bags give people a state of being particularly mentally inactive, and for women, this will directly affect their working state. If eye care is not performed in time, the swelling will be more serious, so when such a problem occurs, treat it in time.
- Poor lymphatic circulation, accumulation of CO2 and metabolites in venous capillaries, or water retention and poor metabolism, increase the burden on the eyelids, gradually lose elasticity and tension, and form eye bags.
- Aging and obesity are the main causes of relaxation. The fiber membrane in the eye socket expands due to the continuous accumulation of waste. With age and obesity, the eye socket film will relax, expand, and sag, causing the elastic fibers of the dermis to relax.
- The skin of the upper and lower eyelids is often edema, and the eyelid plate that blocks the fat in the orbit will slide down. The fat in the orbital brace to protect the eyeball is overflowing to form fatty eye bags.
Problem two: dark circles
Dark circles should be a common eye skin problem, which is often caused by staying up late, but it may also be due to genetics or constipation that cause the body to increase toxins, resulting in a large accumulation of melanin, which will also directly affect the beauty of a woman’s face.
- The reason is that the venous capillaries contain carbon dioxide and more metabolites, oxygen molecules are not active, and hemochromatosis is deposited in the blood vessels, causing shadows.

And the eyes are the most delicate place, once improperly cared for, there will be quite a lot of problems, and these are the symptoms that directly cause skin aging.
