Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Kelli and I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what causes eye wrinkles. One of probably the most prominent causes of eye wrinkles is just from every day expression so if you smile for me you can see how any expression you make kind of causes some expression around the eyes so if you are not using protective measures such as SPF's eye cream, sunglasses, anything to protect the eyes and basically protect the collagen elastin from around the eyes being broken down those can definitely lead to your first signs of aging. You also want to make sure that you are using a really good treatment moisturizer. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate skin around your entire body and also has very little moisture to it. There is very little moisture glands around the eye so you want to make sure that you are hydrating the eye area so you just take a little bit on your ring finger, ring finger is always the finger you want to use around the eye and just rub it very gently in a clockwise direction. When working around the eye you never want to pull or tug. That can lead to collagen break down and lines and wrinkles as well so when you are working above the eye you always want to go out and when you are working under the eye you always want to go in. You never want to pull in the opposite direction. That can cause the collagen elastin break down. You can also help to reduce wrinkles and prevent wrinkles by not sleeping on your face just by scrunching up your face every night in your pillow can cause collagen elastin breakdown and just eat a really good healthy diet, drink a lot of water and use a SPF. Those are some things that you can do to help with wrinkles around the eyes."
