Beauty. The Japanese 'Miracle Woman' routine to remove wrinkles and prevent sagging of the face
Beauty.Facial yoga: exercises to remove wrinkles
They have become the absolute protagonists of our face due to force majeure.
We have had to
learn to smile
with them just when they reflect the most sadness.
Because, in these times, the eyes are more than ever the reflection of our soul and, although the 'work' to brighten them begins from within, there is no doubt that external pampering also adds up (and a lot).
What can we do to restore the brightness to our eyes and combat, as far as possible, the trace of the passage of time?
"To improve and avoid accelerated aging of the skin in this area (much
thinner
and with
less sebaceous gland
than the rest of the face), we must insist on the application of
antioxidants and photoprotection
on a daily basis. All this, without forgetting to use the physical photoprotection, that is,
sunglasses
. It is also essential to carry out
correct hydration
and, in cases where it is necessary, turn to a specialist who will tell us which are the
most appropriate treatments
", explains Mercedes Sáenz de Santa María , Doctor of the International Dermatological Clinic.
This specialist has the answer to one of the great questions that we all ask ourselves as we are 'reaching an age':
why are our eyes closing?
"Aging not only brings
changes in the quality of the skin
(which becomes more lax and redundant in the upper eyelid), but also in the
rest of the structures
. Among them, the bone that, over the years, is reabsorbed This in the periocular area translates into a wider orbital hole and, therefore, the
eyeball partially sinks
. For this reason, we see eyes that are 'smaller' or sunken and with excess skin in the eyelid area. " .
In which cases is it essential to use an
eye contour
?
Sáenz de Santamaría removes us from doubts: "From my point of view, it is only essential if it carries some specific active ingredients to treat specific alterations. For example, with
depigmentation
(in the case of very dark circles) or
decongestant
(if the area has a bag and retains fluids) ".
If we wake up with edematous eyelids, "the
topical application of cold
can help us improve both lymphatic and venous drainage due to the vasoconstriction it produces."
And he advises us to "keep the eye contour or the cream that we apply in the morning in
the refrigerator
."
What we have to forget from now on is the 'old trick' of hemorrhoid cream.
"It should already be
a banished myth
, because it
is a cosmetic outrage
."
Here is his explanation: "Anti-hemorrhoid creams produce a certain 'flash effect' in patients with bags due to the action of phenylephrine, a
vasoconstrictor
drug
. However, it contains other ingredients and local anesthetics that can
greatly irritate the skin of the eyelids
. In addition to the irritation it can cause, if a small amount gets into the eye,
pheniefrin can dilate the pupil
(temporarily altering vision). "

How do our
life habits
affect
our gaze?
"An unbalanced diet, with excess salt produces greater fluid retention (especially at dinner time). A diet rich in sugars and processed favors the glycation of proteins, that is, the destruction of good quality proteins in our skin, such as collagen, "explains this doctor.
Alcohol and tobacco
, in addition to all the known negative effects on our body, "produce a reduction in blood circulation, less oxygenation and deterioration of the metabolism of our cells in our skin."
In conclusion: "A
premature and accelerated aging
".
We know that little sleep is bad, but what about a lot?
"Excess sleep can only be seen as something negative due to the fact of spending more hours in decubitus, and therefore, increasing fluid retention in those patients with a greater predisposition to it."
Best anti-aging eye treatments: botox, hyaluronic acid and laser
Drop down
Dr. Sáenz de Santamaría explains that, "in addition to the already known benefits of
botulinum toxin
treatment
for wrinkles of the upper facial third, there are more and more options".
Above all, it emphasizes "the importance of treating this area with
hyaluronic acid,
which allows obtaining a more rested, relaxed and vital look, treating not only the dark circles but also structures such as the forehead, temple or cheek".
In the last group of treatments, it would include "lasers, such as CO2 for very deep wrinkles or even the Tixel, a thermal-mechanical device that, by means of heat, produces an improvement of the excess skin of the upper eyelid without surgery".
