Have you noticed the appearance of fine lines around your eyes , or have you had wrinkles for a few years? The Théobroma team offers advice on preventing new wrinkles and reducing the appearance of existing ones.
With our advice, rediscover a bright look and a rested face!
Why do wrinkles appear around the eyes?
The eye contour area is prone to wrinkles because the skin is very thin , and many facial expressions put stress on this area. Little by little, lines inevitably deepen from the base of the eyebrows to the cheekbones.
Other factors contribute to the appearance of crow's feet, such as skin aging (the body's natural collagen production decreases with age). It's also observed that a decrease in fat naturally leads to a loss of volume, thus making wrinkles more visible.
Skin dryness also plays a role: dry or dehydrated skin leaves more marks around the eyes.
It is noticeable that the eye contour area is the part of the face with the fewest sebaceous glands. By producing less sebum, it has a hydrolipidic film that is less resistant to external aggressors.
Finally, external factors can accelerate the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, such as lack of hydration or sleep, environmental pollution, excessive sun exposure or smoking.
How to prevent wrinkles around the eyes?
To prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, apply an eye cream daily from the age of 25. By helping this delicate area maintain a healthy hydrolipidic film, you can slow down skin aging. For this, focus on hydrating and anti-aging ingredients. Théobroma's Eye Serum (TH3+) offers deep hydration and effectively reduces puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines thanks to the unique combination of Theobromine and a plant complex of tuberose cells and betaine. Furthermore, its formula, enriched with cocoa butter and vitamins C and E, instantly nourishes the delicate skin around the eyes.
We recommend applying an eye cream in the morning to protect the skin from external aggressions throughout the day, and in the evening to protect it from friction on the pillow.
When cleansing your face, opt for gentle products and avoid drying it by rubbing vigorously with a towel. Instead, pat it gently to prevent damaging your skin.
Good to know : proper makeup removal is essential to prevent the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes. Overnight, makeup tends to settle under the eyes and clog pores, preventing the skin from breathing and hindering proper cell renewal. Every evening, cleanse your skin with our Facial Cleanser , which effectively removes impurities (makeup, pollution, excess sebum) without leaving any residue.
You can also prevent the appearance of wrinkles by wearing good eyeglasses , which prevent you from squinting to see better, or good sunglasses.
How to reduce wrinkles around the eyes?
If you already have wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes, whether due to your lifestyle, habits or age, it is possible to diminish them with targeted actions.
When applying your eye cream, take a few moments to gently pat the area under your eyes . This will help boost microcirculation and reduce puffiness. You can enhance this effect by placing a metal roller, or your usual eye cream, in the refrigerator so the cold further stimulates the skin. You can also use our stainless steel Gua Sha , which stimulates circulation.
Hydrate your skin from the inside out by drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day. This simple step can truly transform the quality of your skin, both on your face and body! Also, consider applying a moisturizing mask suitable for this delicate area once a week for an extra boost of hydration!
Finally, it is of course essential to have a good lifestyle, with quality sleep, a balanced diet, and without excessive stress.
