Wrinkles form more easily around our eyes than any other part of our face. This is explained by the fact that eyelid skin is the thinnest of the body. Eyelid wrinkles are caused by different factors, such as sun exposure, facial animation, and the passage of time. Sun exposure and UV rays are some of the main culprits in the aging of our skin, especially around our eyes. They cause damage by deteriorating the collagen framework of the delicate skin of the eyelids. This affects the normal elasticity of the skin and impairs its ability to regenerate. Therefore, it is very important to protect the skin around our eyes with sunblock and to wear sunglasses every day.
Facial animation is another reason for the wrinkles around our eyes. Every time we smile, frown or show concern the muscles of facial animation pull on the skin of the eyelids and the eyebrow. Over the years, this constant pull creates creases and folds that we associate with aging, such as crow’s feet, frown lines and horizontal forehead lines.
