discussion How to minimize undereye wrinkles?

[Miss Show Business]

Use a moisturizer that's gentle enough to use on the eye area.

 

Find a separate sunscreen you can use in the eye area, such as a good mineral sunscreen that won't irritate your eyes (but I recommend using chemical everywhere else)

 

Use a retinol eye cream.

 

Eye creams get **** on in some skincare circles, but I think there is a use for them. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin on your body. Eye creams I assume are almost always formulated with this in mind. Retin-A, which someone on the last page suggested, is FAR too irritating to use in the eye area. Retinol that you buy at the drugstore goes through a three step conversion to be usable by your skin, making it far more gentle. This is why I would use a retinol eye cream. You get the benefits of retinoids without the irritation in the eye area.

 

Best of luck to you! Lastly I'm no professional, my knowledge is based on dermatologists and chemists on social media. I highly recommend asking your derm for a suggestion if you see one regularly!

You have to be joking or just uneducated, where do you think the majority of skincare comes from? 
Fruits, vegetables, plants etc 

OT: Again Olive oil and you could use Aloe Vera gel. 

I think you have a misunderstanding about naturally derived ingredients.

 

For example, using lactic acid and ascorbic acid separately, correctly, is very beneficial to the skin.

 

Rubbing a lemon on your skin, which happens to naturally contain both lactic acid and ascorbic acid, is horrible for your skin, because it's acidity can literally erode your skins moisture barrier.

 

There is certainly plenty of naturally derived and naturally occurring ingredients in many fruits, vegetables, oils, etc, but this doesn't mean you will get the same benefits using those things instead of the isolated ingredients at beneficial percentages.

Thank You!

 

The only natural plant that I could recommend as a dermatologist is the aloe Vera gel only on sun damage.

 

the majority of oils, fruits and vegetables aren’t formulated to apply raw on the skin, it can cause more harm than well.

Literally just retin-a

Good sis i was using it on my cheeks and it literally led to wrinkles under my eyes. I fear retin-a officially. I had flawless under eyes or maybe i am just tired from all the work in the office.

sunscreen, people swear by their skincare routines but they are pointless if you are not wearing SPF

 

but also - learn to accept the fact that you are aging and it's a normal process. if you get yourself too insecure too early you might end up like people on botched or celebs who used too much botox and filler and look like pufferfish now, which... good for them if that's what they want but you might want to think twice before going down that route, you will never have your original face back

I wouldn't know I don't have any. But same question for laugh lines 

[sugarysunflower]

Moisturiser 

sunblock 

mete cream / retinol 

reduce caffeine - have more herbal teas, water and cleaner diet (as everything else) 

enough rest / sleep

It's natural and why you're bothered with it is probably due to heavy editing in the media/Internet. Maybe you can try some treatments to tighten up the skin in that area if it bugs so that much.
