How to Reduce Wrinkles Under Eyes

It’s widely accepted that the onset of under eye wrinkles is inevitable and we will all be affected eventually. However, there are a lot of different factors that determine how quickly the ageing process, and the onset of wrinkles like crows feet, will progress.

The skin around the eyes stays firm and supple when we’re younger due to the production of collagen and elastin which is why you don't have eye wrinkles at an early age! However, as we get older these aren’t produced as quickly, which reduces skin elasticity. What’s more, the skin thinning under the eyes is a natural process, causing it to lose its resilience, and under eye wrinkles to form.

This is made worse by the fact that there are no glands around the eyes that produce oil to keep the area hydrated. Luckily, the eye area can be kept smooth and hydrated by using an effective anti-wrinkle eye cream like NIVEA Vital Soja Anti-Age Eye Care. This moisturising product noticeably firms the skin around the eyes, reduces puffiness and dark circles - leaving eye wrinkles less noticeable.

If not done properly, the cleansing process can be very harsh on your delicate skin and can contribute to premature skin thinning. A recipe for disaster when it comes to preventing wrinkles under your eyes.

Use a makeup remover that is extra gentle on the skin like NIVEA Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover. This removes even waterproof mascara whilst caring for the sensitive eye area.

If you prefer face wipes, try the NIVEA 3-in-1 Cleansing Micellar Wipes, which combine the cleansing power of micellar water with the convenience of a wipe. They are non-woven so have a smooth texture for protecting the delicate eye area, and no rubbing or scrubbing is required to remove even waterproof mascara.

Always be as gentle as you can with your makeup removal technique - don’t pull or tug on the skin. NIVEA cleansing products are gentle and effective to not require rubbing consistently to remove even the hardest makeup.
