Ophthalmologist Op.Dr.Özgül Karacan Uğurtay provided information on the subject.
EAT HEALTHY
We should give preference to foods containing vitamin E and vitamin C. We should consume foods such as red fruits and vegetables, black grapes and beets, especially with antioxidant properties. Again, Omega-3 is very beneficial for the skin and for the eyes. .
THE EYE SHOULD NEVER BE TOO EXCITEDLY RUBED
This movement, which is also harmful to eye health, is also very harmful to the skin around the eyes. As long as we do this movement, our thin skin around the eyes stretches and slackens.
MUST NOT LIE ON THE FACE
If we lie on our face while sleeping, gravity can cause puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes.
THE EYES ARE PROTECTED FROM THE SUN
Especially in summer and sunny days, we should wear sunglasses with good filters to protect our eyes and skin from harmful rays with the effect of ultraviolet. At the same time, we can choose our daily eye creams with sunscreen. The sun causes both dryness and wrinkles around our eyes and spots Sunglasses are important for our eyes as well as for our eyes.
NO SMOKING AND ALCOHOL
Not only smoking, but also being in an environment with cigarette smoke affects both our eyes and our eye contour. Since alcohol reduces the amount of antioxidants, it also contributes to the aging of our eye contour.
THE EYES MUST BE MOISTURIZED
To ensure that our eye contour does not age prematurely, we must moisturize it as well as our face.Creams produced for the face should not be used for the eye area.Creams produced for the eyes have a different composition. They are suitable for less oily and thin skin structure.
MAKE-UP PRODUCTS MUST BE SELECTED CORRECTLY
Our skin around the eyes is much more sensitive from both an allergic and structural point of view compared to other parts of the body. When choosing makeup products, we should opt for high-quality, natural products that do not cause a reaction to our skin. Moreover, instead of wipes as make-up removers, we should prefer sensitive, medical make-up removers that do not contain alcohol, with a suitable pH.
Drink a lot of water
Drinking plenty of water is just as important for our skin as it is for dry eyes, so it is very important that our skin around the eyes is not dry. We should never fail to drink plenty of water.
HEALTHY CURES CAN BE APPLIED TO THE EYES
You can apply natural products that your doctor will recommend and approve to prevent aging around the eyes. For example, you can apply some products like aloe vera, cucumber, centaurysan oil at certain intervals, provided it is not too much.
BOTOX SHOULD NOT BE DONE TOO OFTEN
Especially for crow’s feet and wrinkles around the eyes, botox is one of the preferred treatments, but when more than 2-3 botox is applied per year, bags under the eyes can develop earlier because our eye muscle relaxes.
DIGITAL SCREENS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR TOO LONG
When we sit on tiring screens such as computers and mobile phones for a long time, our eyes are affected and our eye area is exposed to stress and fatigue. Stress can also have a negative impact on our eye contour. Dark circles around the eyes, wrinkles and bags under the eyes can become visible in the long run.
Kiss. Dr Özgül Karacan Uğurtay said: “We have to be careful because our eye contour is a prominent area. Nowadays many surgical or non-surgical techniques can be applied for sagging skin and wrinkles after the age of 40. But if we take our own healthy diet and apply care, we can enter our new age much more dynamic and healthy.” He said.
