Many have no problem with the idea of having wrinkles as they get older, but there are some people who start seeing them too soon. And when they start noticing early wrinkles on the face more often, they can’t help but look for ways to keep skin less prone to that. Many people, especially women, are lovers of natural remedies for that, for their great effectiveness. Take note because one of them is the following recipe that only carries three ingredients that are the maximum to reduce eye wrinkles in a great way.
What causes wrinkles?
During the natural aging process, our skin goes through 3 important changes:
- Skin cells divide more slowly, causing the dermis layer to thin.
- The deepest layer of the skin loosens, affecting each next layer.
- The glands are reduced, reducing the protection that oil gives to our skin.
This aging process can occur prematurely with overexposure to sunlight. The sun’s UV rays damage your collagen. While your body responds by rebuilding collagen fibers, it releases free radicals during the process, which further damage cells.
That’s why using sunscreen regularly and consuming foods rich in antioxidants is very important to keep your skin looking youthful for as long as possible.
Other causes of premature wrinkles include toxins from your environment and especially cigarette smoke. Eating a whole food diet, exercising, being aware of what you’re bringing home and quitting smoking are some of the best things you can do for your skin (and your entire body).
How you fix wrinkles?
The natural approach to reducing wrinkles is, first of all, to eliminate the bad habits that are causing them to restore healthy oils in the skin, and promote healthy skin cells with antioxidants. If the skin around your eyes also looks swollen or damaged, you’ll want to incorporate anti-inflammatory ingredients as well.
3-ingredient cream to reduce eye wrinkles
The following cream or home remedy with oils to reduce eye wrinkles, has 3 ingredients that do just that and these are: vitamin E, thyme essential oil and coconut oil.
- Vitamin E is a fantastic antioxidant that can help fight free radicals by damaging your skin.
- Virgin coconut oil can moisturize your skin (and hair) very well and is also an anti-inflammatory.
- Thyme essential oil is an antioxidant, can be anti-inflammatory and has been used anecdotally to strengthen the skin for centuries.
What you need:
- 2 units Vitamin E (squeezed from capsules).
- 2 drops of thyme essential oil.
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
What to do:
Combine the 3 ingredients and massage around your eyes being very careful not to make any contact with them. Clean any excess with a cloth or paper towel. Do this 1-2 hours before going to bed daily.
Note:
Essential oils are highly concentrated and potent and it is important to always check the specific safety data provided. Keep out of reach of children, the elderly and pets. For external use only. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes. If any of the essential oils came into contact with your eyes, wash with a vegetable oil like olive oil, not water.
Some oils can cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before use. To perform the patch test, place a drop on the back of your wrist and let it act for an hour or more. If irritation or redness occurs, wash the area with olive oil after cold water and do not use the recipe.
