here are two common eye conditions for which treatment is sought. Dark circles and wrinkles (such as 'crows feet') around the eyes. The area around the eyes is especially affected by blinking, rubbing and squinting on a regular basis. The area under the eyes is sensitive because the skin there is very thin, and becomes even thinner with age. With age, the skin around the eyes becomes more prone to damage caused by exposure to the sun.
Crows feet are wrinkles at the outer portion of the eyes. They are associated with aging changes in skin. Frequent exposure to sunshine (ultraviolet light) results in premature skin wrinkling. Exposure to cigarette smoke and air pollution is another factor that increases the likelihood of crows feet.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun causes collagen to break down at a higher rate than with just chronologic aging. Wrinkles develop as a result of imperfect repeated attempts to rebuild collagen fibers.
Other causes of skin wrinkling around the eyes include excessive tension of muscles by squinting and the effects of gravity, which causes the loose skin to sag.
You can treat and prevent wrinkling around the eyes in the following ways:
The skin under the eye is very thin. Blood that passes through the large veins close to the surface shows through the skin, producing a bluish tint. The more transparent your skin, the darker the circles. In both fair and dark-skinned people, dark circles under the eyes can also be from a higher-than-normal amount of skin pigmentation in this area. Other factors include heredity, exposure to the sun, rubbing the eyes, effects of medication and fatigue.
In addition to the above tips in the section on wrinkles, use of a good night cream especially made for the skin around the eyes, such as Venus Anti-Aging Eye Cream, can help reduce the appearance of dark circles.
