Why under-eye wrinkles show up first
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than much of the skin on the face. It also moves every time you smile, squint or make an expression. This combination can make under eye wrinkles more noticeable over time, especially when combined with sun exposure, dryness and the natural changes that come with ageing.
Your Eyes Are Always Moving
Every smile, squint and facial expression involves the muscles around your eyes. Repeated movement can contribute to dynamic lines becoming more visible over time. This is one reason fine lines may appear around the eyes before they become noticeable in other areas of the face.
The Skin Here Is More Delicate
The skin around the eyes is thinner and has fewer oil glands than some other areas of the face. This can make it more prone to dryness and make fine lines appear more noticeable. A gentle moisturiser suitable for the eye area can help support the skin barrier.
Sun Exposure Adds Up
UV exposure contributes to collagen breakdown and premature skin ageing, including around the eyes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and sunglasses can help protect this delicate area. If your sunscreen tends to sting your eyes, choose a formula that is comfortable for the eye area.
Rubbing Can Irritate the Area
Rubbing your eyes, removing makeup roughly or repeatedly tugging at the skin can cause irritation. The under-eye area needs a lighter touch, particularly when cleansing or applying skincare. Gentle application is a simple habit that can help protect the delicate skin.
Fine Lines Are Normal, But They Can Be Treated
Some under eye wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and cannot be prevented completely. If they become a concern, a dermatologist can assess whether skincare, professional procedures or a combination of approaches would be appropriate for your skin and the type of lines you have.
