How Can I Get Rid of Deep Wrinkles Under My Eyes?

Wrinkles form on the face as the skin ages and lose elasticity. Over time the collagen in the skin breaks down and is not as firm and resilient as it once was. This is a fact of life for everyone and is a part of the aging process. 

There are other factors that can play a role in the development of wrinkles such as lifestyle habits. Those who smoke and spend a lot of time in the sun without wearing sunscreen are likely to develop more deep wrinkles than other people. 

What to Try

In order to get rid of deep wrinkles under your eyes you need to keep your body well hydrated. Since the body is made up of a large percentage of water and since the skin needs it to be supple and healthy you should drink in the range of six to eight glasses of water every day. Not only will this improve the health of your skin but it will also give you a glow that will signal good health. 

There are plenty of anti-wrinkle creams, eye creams, eye serums and moisturizers available over the counter that can help to minimize the look of deep wrinkles. There are also creams you can obtain by prescription that can help to eliminate wrinkles in the delicate eye area. 

Other Things to Try

Dermabrasions and exfoliants are also beneficial when it comes to minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles that have appeared around the eyes. Make sure you choose products that specifically target the area where the deep wrinkles have appeared. For instance some wrinkle products are meant for the eye region while others are geared towards the lines on the forehead and/or other parts of the face. 

For a firm, toned and youthful healthy appearance always moisturize your skin to prevent wrinkles and to rid yourself of the ones you already have. Apply a moisturizer that is right for your skin in the morning and at night before bedtime.  Select a gentle one that is rich in antioxidants and vitamins.

If all else fails then Botox Cosmetic or one of the other fillers can be applied by a plastic surgeon to reduce the look of deep wrinkles under and around the eyes. It is always best to try other more traditional approaches however before you resort to surgical procedures such as this. Mild chemical peels and/or laser resurfacing may also work to reduce the look of wrinkles near your eyes.
