As you age, one of the first places aging shows is around the eyes. Eyelid skin is very thin. Loss of collagen and elastin causes hooding and looseness of the upper and lower eyelids.
Sun exposure damages the skin and increases skin aging. Small fine lines that look like cross-hatching reflect the impact of sun damage.
Changes in the ligament structure, muscle, and skin below the eye result in festooning. This is the protrusion of fat from behind the muscle and ligament. People often describe it as ‘bags’ under their eyes. There can also be fluid in combination with the fat(called malar edema).
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that hydrates skin and gives it ‘plumpness’ and radiance. It is lost with aging and hormonal changes.
Hormones, specifically estrogen, influence skin laxity. Many women notice that their skin suddenly changes when their hormones change.
It gets thinner and drier. Fine lines and wrinkles increase in appearance.
Taking a high-quality collagen supplement is useful. However, a proper diet and healthy digestion is more important. The best diet for your skin health is one that is high in protein, good fats, and antioxidants.
To improve the absorption of protein for maximal use, try taking a spoonful of apple cider vinegar with your meals.
Another important factor that affects eye aging, is bone resorption. As the face ages, the eye sockets become larger due to the resorption of bone.
