Wrinkles are typically an unwelcome sign of aging that can develop for a number of reasons. One of the most common places to see wrinkles occur is around the eyes where the skin is particularly sensitive. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help prevent and minimize the appearance of crow’s feet and under-eye lines. As Hartford, CT’s leading microdermabrasion specialist, Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC is qualified to provide patients with the most effective solutions for avoiding eye wrinkles.

Here, the dermatologist’s office goes over some of the best ways to keep the skin around your eyes looking as young and fresh as possible:

• Gently Remove Makeup: The skin in the eye area is fairly thin, making it important to take extra precautions to be gentle when removing your makeup. Refrain from pulling or rubbing on it as much as possible.
• Apply Moisturizer: You should always have a good moisturizer on hand. Moisturizing every day will keep your skin hydrated to delay the onset of wrinkles and cut down on their visibility.

• Get a Microdermabrasion Treatment: Professional microdermabrasion treatments are designed to remove dead skin cells, diminishing the presence of crow’s feet and other fine lines. Botox and chemical face peels can also be beneficial in reducing wrinkles.
• Wear Sunscreen: The sun’s ultraviolet rays have many damaging effects on the skin, and wrinkles are one of them. Lathering on the sunscreen whenever you go outside will keep your eye area protected.
• Sleep on Your Back: Keeping the side of your face from being squished against a pillow or the sheets for several hours a night will put an end to the development of creases, which turn into wrinkles over time.

Prevention is key when it comes to preserving a youthful appearance with little to no eye wrinkles. Using these techniques and making microdermabrasion part of your regular skin care routine will make a significant difference in how bright-eyed you look and feel. Contact Lauren A.
