How to Prevent Eye Wrinkles

Transcript

0:01 Hi, I'm Kelli. I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics. And I'm

0:05 going to talk to you a little bit about how to prevent wrinkles around the eye. One of

0:09 the most important things that you can do is to get a really good eye cream. Something

0:13 that's really hydrating. The skin around the eye is the thinnest and most delicate skin

0:18 on your entire body. And it's the most susceptible to fine lines and aging because of the fact

0:24 that it's so thin and it lacks moisture. So, just by using a really good treatment cream,

0:29 just putting a little bit on your ring finger, just kind of pat it around the orbital bone.

0:36 And then you just take it and you rub it in a clockwise direction really gently. This'll

0:43 help to prevent lines and wrinkles, 'cause it's going to keep that moisture barrier really

0:50 nice and intact. Another thing that you can do is to wear sunglasses and sunscreen. Make

0:57 sure you have something with sunscreen around the eye. You want to minimize any squinting,

1:03 or anything like that, 'cause over time those repeated expressions around....making those

1:08 expression lines can actually lead to lines and wrinkles, 'cause it breaks the collagen

1:12 and elastin. You also want to, if you try when you sleep, not to sleep on your face

1:18 and scrunch your eyes into the pillow. 'Cause if you sleep like this, it's going to, over

1:24 time, kind of break that collagen-elastin and lead to lines and wrinkles. So those are

1:29 some things that you can do to prevent lines and wrinkles around the eye.
