Finding the right anti-aging eye cream can mean the difference between pronounced crow’s feet and subtle laugh lines. We explain how to help get rid of lines under the eyes and introduce you to the best eye cream for wrinkles.
What causes wrinkles under the eyes?
Aging
The skin grows thinner and loses elasticity with age (as collagen and fat levels naturally deplete), causing wrinkles to appear. As the skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, fine lines often appear around the eyes first.
Sun damage and environmental stressors
UV rays can break down the collagen in the skin, causing fine lines. Environmental stressors can also damage the skin barrier, resulting in premature wrinkles.
Dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin is a skin condition triggered by a lack of water. Skin often feels tight and flaky, while fine lines look more pronounced, particularly around the eyes.
Facial movements
Repetitive facial movements (frowning, smiling and squinting) can cause lines to appear prematurely under the eyes.
