The Point of Age Reversal  - Under Eye Wrinkles

"Has anyone found the Fountain of Youth yet?"

Do you wake up one day wondering when the wrinkles around your eyes appeared? Or are you one of those who can't believe your eyes when you see wrinkles developing in your 20s? Not your time yet, you say?

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"

This phrase is oh-so-familiar. Our eyes, these beautiful pair of eyes. are where hearts fall, attention is given, and where we observe and capture memories. But the eyes are also one of the first areas of your body to show the signs of aging.

According to some clinical studies, about 60% of skin aging including wrinkles stem from genetic factors. (Cited from Jordi Naval, Jul 1 2014 - Clinical Cosmetic Investigation Dermatology). So, if your parents look much younger than their age, you are blessed with a good genes. 

But here's the other truth of why and what causes wrinkles as we age....

• As we aged, the skin begins to lose some of its elasticity, collagen, natural hyaluronic and more.
• The skin around the eyes is thin and has blood vessels - always showing earlier signs of aging.

Factors that also play a huge role in contributing to wrinkle development are:-

🌤️ Sun exposure - Not protecting your skin with sun care

🚭 Smoking - It degrades collagen, elastic fibers and decreases blood flow to skin cells, limiting the oxygen to them. This causes the skin to become dehydrated and age prematurely.

🍷 Drinking alcohol -  Alcohol causes your body and skin to become dehydrated. Alcohol’s diuretic (water-loss) effect also causes you to lose vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamin A.

Now you might be asking, "Okay so I put on sunscreen, I quit smoking, I quit alcohol except I can't undo the genes I inherited. Now can I reverse these sign of aging?"

Although this is a valid question, the harsh truth is that there are no magic pills or creams that can completely reverse and undo the damage overnight, without some effort from yourself. The key is to be consistent, diligent, and disciplined in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Alongside this, there are amazing skincare products, backed by science and proven for their efficacy, ready for you to take home.

💭 Need our recommendation? We are glad to share a little Secret with you.

1. Sleep well - Ensure you are getting at least 7 hours of beauty sleep
2. Exercise - One study published in 2024 found that physical activity, at least a couple of times a week, may help protect your skin
3. Stay Hydrated- Ensure you are hydrated inside and out by regularly drinking water and applying moisturizer to your skin. Water maintains the elasticity and plumpness of your skin.
   
   It is time to put a stop to this bad habit! 
4. QUIT SMOKING! - Smoking is not only putting a high risk at your health but it also cause premature aging. Quitting smoking will not only saves you some bucks but it also add more years to your life and your skin.
5. QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL! - A 2019 study found that higher levels of alcohol consumption increase facial aging because the skin cell turnover rate slows down, causing new cells to take longer to be created. Alcohol’s inflammatory properties degrade collagen and elastin, making the skin sag and wrinkle faster. (Cited from The Journal Of Clinical And Aesthetic Dermatology, 2019).
