The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the whole body, three to five times thinner than the skin on the cheeks. That's why wrinkles appear there first: first the laughter lines at the corners of the eyes, then lines under the eyes, and finally drooping eyelids.
Why do wrinkles around the eyes appear so early?
- Thin skin with little collagen: less support, faster wrinkling
- Constant movement: blinking, smiling, squinting in the sun, thousands of contractions a day
- Sun: we rarely put SPF around the eyes, and we don't always wear sunglasses
- Rubbing your eyes and sleeping face-down: the skin gets creased night after night
What can you do yourself?
An eye cream with retinol or peptides, sunglasses with UV protection, sleeping on your back and rubbing your eyes less. This slows down new wrinkles, but for existing ones skincare mostly just softens how they look while the skin is hydrated.
Which treatments work on wrinkles around the eyes?
Botox is the best-known answer, but it works by blocking the muscle, lasts a few months, and some people simply don't like the idea of injections in their face. We wrote about this dilemma in the article Botox or a natural alternative.
INDIBA works differently: instead of blocking the muscle, it renews the skin itself. Gentle applicators for the eye area stimulate collagen production in skin that has lost it. The skin gets thicker, firmer and fuller, and the wrinkles gradually smooth out. The treatment is completely painless, which matters especially around the eyes.
Wrinkles, dark circles or bags: what is really bothering you?
Three different problems that need different approaches are often confused around the eyes: wrinkles, dark circles and bags. If you notice shadows or puffiness under your eyes as well as wrinkles, read our guide to treating dark circles.
