5 Ways to Prevent Eye Wrinkles

The following 5 tips, combined with a skin regimen formulated by your providers at Florida Skin Center, can help decrease the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes. Start now if you haven’t already!

  1. We cannot stress the importance of applying sunscreen enough. You may be thinking, “I don’t have the time,” or “it’s messy and ruins my make-up,” but fret not. Florida Skin Center offers Sunforgettable mineral sunscreen by Colorscience, in powder form! Sold in both SPF 30 and 50, this sunscreen is easily applied with the provided brush so it won’t ruin your make-up.
  1. Rubbing your eyes. Whether we’re tired, scrubbing off make-up, or simply rubbing our itchy eyes, we unknowingly create winkles. The skin around our eyes is particularly delicate. So wash this area gently, and take an antihistamine (Zyrtec or Claritin) if you’re experiencing itchiness due to allergies.
  1. Sunglasses. Not only are they stylish, but they also prevent us from squinting and creating crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.
  1. Retin-A. Also known as Tretinoin, Retin-A is a prescription vitamin A derivative that speeds up cell turnover, thus exfoliating the skin. This exfoliation softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles… yay! And since the area around our eyes is delicate, we recommend starting with a low strength Retin-A, twice a week. Speak with your provider at Florida Skin Center to see if this prescription medication is suitable for you.
  1. There’s a lot of stigma attributed to Botox, and rightfully so. The media loves to focus on “bad botches,” where patients’ faces have that frozen, wind-blown appearance. When performed by a licensed and trained medical provider, Botox is safe and can look very natural. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles surrounding the eyes, thereby preventing you from squinting which causes crow’s feet. Botox typically lasts 3-4 months.
