ELLE by Collagena’s anti-wrinkle patches are particularly recommended for related beauty concerns:
– at the first signs of aging
– at fine lines
– at wrinkles
– at saggingskin
For all eye contours, especially those showing the first signs of aging: wrinkles, fine lines, sagging.
Why do fine lines and wrinkles appear around the eyes?
Fine and fragile, the epidermis around the eyes is one of the most sensitive areas of the skin. It is therefore not surprising that the signs of time show up there first. 5 times thinner than the rest of the face, the skin around the eyes is very solicited by the many movements that are the blinks of the eyes, the beating of the eyelashes, the smiles.
In addition to these many successive and repeated demands, skin ageing, loss of elasticity, poor hydration, unbalanced diet, alcohol and tobacco consumption, … And of course exposure to the sun!
Be careful not to forget your glasses! Forgetting to wear sunglasses, or sight glasses, forces you to blink your eyes. And the more we blink, the easier it is for fine lines to appear on the crow’s feet.
Finally, over time, the renewal of skin cells and their collagen and elastin content diminish. The skin becomes less elastic, it becomes thinner, it wrinkles!
How to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?
5 times thinner than the rest of the face, the skin around the eyes requires special care. We advise you to avoid intensive use of make-up rich in iron pigments. And we recommend that you thoroughly cleanse and remove make-up from the area around your eyes before going to bed.
Use skin care products that are adapted to the area around your eyes; creams or serums that are rich in moisturising, anti-ageing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen of marine origin. And abuse anti-wrinkle patches whose highly targeted action allows you to obtain visible results immediately after application.
Don’t forget your glasses! It might seem trivial, but forgetting to wear sunglasses or glasses means you’ll have to blink your eyes. And the more we blink, the easier it is for fine lines to appear on the crow’s feet.
Finally, adopt a healthy lifestyle:
– If you smoke, stop! The effects of smoking on health in general, and on the skin in particular, are well known. Cigarettes affect the skin and its elasticity.
– Sleep at least 7 hours a night. Sleep is also restorative for your skin.
– In summer, as in winter, protect your skin from the sun. Use a sun care or day cream with a protection factor that is related to your skin type.
– Drink at least 5 to 7 glasses of water a day.
– Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize again! Both your skin and your body. The more you moisturize, the more supple, soft and radiant your skin will be.
– Eat heatlhy! Your food acts on your skin as well as on your body. Prepare balanced meals, not too greasy, low in sugar, low in salt. Favour fruit, vegetables, fish and white meat. Reduce red meats and soft drinks, and make sure you have a good daily intake of vitamins.
– And exercise! Your body needs to breathe. Move, walk, run!
