Many have no problem with the idea of ​​wrinkles as they age, but there are some people who start to see them too early. And when they start to notice early wrinkles on their face more often, they can’t help looking for ways to keep their skin less prone to it. Many people, especially women, are lovers of natural remedies for that, because of their great effectiveness. Take note because one of them is the following recipe that only has three ingredients that are the maximum to reduce eye wrinkles in a great way.

What causes wrinkles

During the natural aging process, our skin goes through 3 important changes:

  1. Skin cells divide more slowly, causing the dermis layer to thin
  2. The deepest layer of the skin is loosened, affecting each next layer
  3. The glands are reduced, reducing the protection that the oil gives our skin

This aging process can occur prematurely with overexposure to sunlight. The sun’s UV rays damage your collagen. As your body responds by rebuilding collagen fibers, it releases free radicals during the process, which further damage cells.

That is why using sunscreen regularly and eating foods rich in antioxidants is very important to keep your skin looking youthful for as long as possible.

Other causes of premature wrinkles include toxins from your environment and especially cigarette smoke. Eating a whole food diet, exercising, being mindful of what you’re bringing home, and quitting smoking are some of the best things you can do for your skin (and your entire body).

How do you fix wrinkles

The natural approach to reducing wrinkles is first to eliminate the bad habits that are causing them to restore healthy oils in the skin, and promote healthy skin cells with antioxidants. If the skin around the eyes also appears puffy or damaged, you will want to incorporate anti-inflammatory ingredients as well.

3-ingredient cream to reduce eye wrinkles

The following cream or home remedy with oils to reduce eye wrinkles, has 3 ingredients that do just that and these are: vitamin E, thyme essential oil and coconut oil.

  • Vitamin E is a fantastic antioxidant that can help fight free radicals damaging your skin.
  • Virgin coconut oil can hydrate your skin (and hair) very well and is also an anti-inflammatory.
  • Thyme essential oil is an antioxidant, can be anti-inflammatory, and has been used anecdotally to strengthen skin for centuries.

    What do you need:

    • 2 units Vitamin E (squeezed from the capsules)
    • 2 drops of thyme essential oil
    • 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

    To do:

    Combine the 3 ingredients and massage around your eyes being very careful not to make any contact with them. Wipe off any excess with a cloth or paper towel. Do this 1-2 hours before going to bed daily.

    Note:

    Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful and it is important to always check the specific safety data provided. Keep out of the reach of children, the elderly and pets. For external use only. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes. If any of the essential oils got into your eyes, wash with a vegetable oil like olive oil, not water.

    Some oils can cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended prior to use. To perform the patch test, place a drop on the back of your wrist and let it act for an hour or more. If irritation or redness occurs, wash the area with olive oil then cold water and do not use the recipe.
