Sagging eyelids are common issue which is associated with aging. People who have them try to improve their appearance because it makes them look older and tired. That is, improving the appearance of sagging eyelids make them more self-confident and makes them feel more attractive.
In case this cosmetic issue starts to interfere with your vision, it becomes a medical issue. In order to tighten the loose skin on your eyelids, you should perform certain facial exercises, use anti-aging creams, and undergo some cosmetic procedures.
STEP 1
Performing exercises which reinforce the muscles in your eyelids and tone the skin are the first step towards improving the sagging eyelids.
According to the Eva Fraser Fitness Center in London, England, performing eyelid exercises for ten minutes daily, no less than four days a week, help a lot with tightening the sagging skin on the eyelids.
Raise the eyebrows and place a finger around the brow bone in order to keep the skin in place. Then, close your eyes in several movements, rather than one motion, and hold this position for six seconds.
You are supposed to feel the pull of your lids as you are keeping the finger in place. Then, open your eyes and repeat the exercise.
STEP 2
You should use a firming cream or a cream against maturing in order to fix the sagging skin around your eyes and on the eyelids. According to Loren Pickart, PhD., author of Skin Biology, the best would be to opt for an item which contains copper peptides, an exacerbate that can solidify the skin and reduce the differences.
Not all creams can be used on the eyelid, but they can be applied close to the eyes and provide the same results.
STEP 3
It is highly recommended to try the beauty treatment called Thermage. It uses radio waves to warm the skin around the eyes, which in turn makes the collagen fix and stimulate its production.
According to the FDA, this method is affirmed and non-obtrusive. It is moderately durable and its results last for about two years.
STEP 4
You can also try blepharoplasty, a type of plastic surgery which is used to remove fat, skin, and muscles that sag in the eyelid area.
According to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic`s website, this surgery is especially effective for people who experience vision issues due to their sagging skin.
TIPS
Dr. Loren Pickart is a biochemist who has created her own line of skin products. In order to protect the eyelid skin from irritation and sagging, she recommends using minimal eye makeup.
In fact, it has been scientifically shown that colors found in eyeliners and eye shadows negatively affect the sensitive skin on the eyelids and lead to sagging over time.
