How to keep the skin around your eyes looking youthful after 40

The use of anti-aging creams and emulsions after 40 years is an effective means for caring for the delicate skin around the eyes. The systematic use of moisturizing and tightening products, being an excellent alternative to expensive and unsafe salon procedures, will help maintain youthful and beautiful skin. A properly selected nourishing cream or light moisturizing gel can successfully combat age-related changes, smoothing out existing wrinkles and preventing the appearance of new ones.

What to pay attention to

It seems to many that caring for the skin of the eyelids after 40 years at home is simply impossible - you need to either come to terms with the problem or resort to the help of cosmetologists and surgeons. However, this is not quite true. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to get rid of deep wrinkles, but it is quite possible to maintain skin tone and delay the formation of new wrinkles, as well as bags under the eyes and swelling.

People say that by the age of 40 a person has the face he deserves. There is some truth in this statement. If you don't take care of the area around your eyes, it will be constantly damaged by lack of sleep, stress, poor nutrition and improper skin care.

The following errors cause loss of healthy color and elasticity:

  1. Applying face creams to the eyelids. They may contain fatty oils that irritate the eyes and other aggressive components.
  2. Using oil-based products. They do not allow oxygen to penetrate the skin, resulting in an oily sheen around the eyes.
  3. Apply eye cream using rubbing movements. This greatly stretches the skin. The cream must be applied with light patting movements.
  4. Do not remove makeup from your eyes before going to bed.

Keep in mind that caring for the skin around your eyes is very different from caring for your face. This is due to the fact that the skin of the eyelids is sensitive and very thin. In this area there is no subcutaneous fat layer and there are practically no sebaceous and sweat glands; elastin and collagen are contained in minimal quantities. All these features make the skin of the eyelids very capricious and demanding, so you should take care of it correctly.

Patches from the famous Korean manufacturer Secret key are designed for comprehensive care of mature skin in the area around the eyes.

The cosmetic product has a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma, typical of personal care products from this manufacturer.


Secret key patches containing bioavailable gold can significantly lighten darkened eyelid skin in a short time

A mask in the form of patches soaked in valuable essence is applied to cleansed skin by pressing firmly onto the area affected by wrinkles and age-related changes. The product is left for 40–50 minutes, after which it is removed, and the remnants of the anti-aging composition are evenly distributed over the skin around the eyes until completely absorbed. Patches should be used in courses, 3-4 times a year.

Secret key patches contain:

Swelling after sleep goes away quite quickly and there is a feeling of elasticity and additional tone. Dark circles lighten and signs of fatigue are erased, but if “bruises” arise as a result of the close proximity of blood vessels, the effect will be temporary and will last no more than an hour and a half.

Basics of daily skin care around the eyes

How to care for eyelid skin at home? This is a rather labor-intensive process that requires regularity. After 40 years, care should be aimed at skin rejuvenation. At this age, you need to periodically visit a cosmetologist, but not everyone has this opportunity.

Effective eyelid skin care consists of the following basics:

  1. Thorough cleansing . Tap water and regular soap are bad for the health of the skin around the eyes. Makeup and dirt must be removed with milk or makeup remover. After this, the eyes should be rinsed well with filtered or still mineral water.
  2. Nutrition . After forty years, you should definitely use special nutritional formulations. These are either creams with a lifting effect or natural masks prepared at home.
  3. Toning . The best tonics include gels, tonics and lotions. They have a refreshing and calming effect. Toning can also be done with ice cubes from a decoction of medicinal herbs. This procedure must be carried out daily - morning and evening.

Compresses and lotions

You can get rid of dark circles, dark circles under the eyes, and swelling at home using lotions and compresses:

  1. Make a herbal decoction from medicinal plants and pour into an ice tray. Chamomile, linden or parsley are perfect for this purpose. You can wipe the skin around your eyes with this ice cube every morning. Excellent for getting rid of excess puffiness.

After the broth, strain and soak gauze in it, folded in several layers. Apply the gauze to your closed eyes for half an hour.

Gymnastics for wrinkles around the eyes

The beauty of the skin around the eyes can be maintained with light exercises. Do not underestimate this moment, because the eyelids are also muscles, and they can be trained. Do the following exercises regularly:

  1. Open your eyes and touch your temples with your fingertip. Gently pull the skin back. At this time, blink quickly and quickly for 30 seconds.
  2. Lift your head up and open your mouth. Blink quickly for 30 seconds.
  3. Close your eyes. Use the tips of your index fingers to hold the area above the outer corners. Apply gentle pressure. Overcoming the pressure, lift your upper eyelids and hold for 2-3 seconds. Relax.
  4. Close your eyes, count to 3 and open them wide. Look into the distance and close your eyes again. When performing this exercise, the eyebrows and forehead should not move.
  5. Relax your eye muscles. Warm your palms and fold them into a boat shape. Close your eyes and gently cover the eye area with your palms. Sit like this for 30 seconds.

Each exercise should be performed 5-7 times.

Last final stage

After waiting a specific time, the mask is washed off with warm water. Using cold water is not recommended. The skin should feel comfortable, but the cold will have the opposite effect. After rinsing, a cream intended for the skin of the eyelids or serum is applied to the treated area.

The composition is carefully applied with your fingertips. There should be softness in the movements when distributing the cream over the area. Smoothing should occur in parallel with massaging the skin.

To do this you need to have practical skills. If you have no experience, you can replace it by using special vibration massage glasses. The effect that the product creates is invaluable. Internal blood supply to the areas around the eyes improves. At the same time, lymphatic drainage improves.

As is the case with the gel type of glasses, as a result of using vibration massage glasses, the firmness and elasticity of the skin increases, and eye fatigue disappears

Useful tips

To maintain youthful skin around the eyes after 40 years, use our recommendations:

  1. Get enough sleep and rest. If you sleep 3-5 hours a day, not a single cosmetic product, even the most expensive one, will help you. Keep in mind that you need to go to bed before 24:00.
  2. Spend more time outdoors. The skin of the eyelids desperately needs oxygen.
  3. Use only suitable creams and masks.
  4. Try to spend less time in the open sun. In summer, be sure to wear sunglasses.
  5. Give up bad habits. Alcohol and smoking affect not only the health of the body, but also the condition of the dermis.
  6. Exercise regularly.
  7. Eat a balanced diet. Do not forget about the drinking regime - at least 2 liters of water per day.
  8. Do self-massage of the face, as well as gymnastics.

The age of 40 is a wonderful time. At this time, female beauty can fully reveal itself if you do not forget about caring for yourself and your face. Do not forget that the main decoration of a woman is the sparkle and joy in her eyes.

What is the main procedure and what additional tools are used?

Grabbing the prepared masks with your ring fingers, you need to carefully apply them to your eyelids. So that they easily touch the skin, lie flat, cover the desired area and do not move.

As an additional aid, many women buy gel glasses. This is the same cosmetic product, so you can purchase them online or by asking in the cosmetics department.

According to reviews, these glasses are practical and comfortable. They can be cooled or heated and placed on top of the cosmetic mask. There is a double health effect. Wrinkles under the eyes are smoothed out, conditions are created for the eyes to rest.

The retention time of the cosmetic mask under the eyelids is from 15 to 20 minutes. You can't overexpose it. This will create a negative moment. For ladies who look after themselves with great trepidation, this can even be dangerous.

After all, if the mask stays on for a long time, instead of the expected result in the form of smooth, tightened skin, you will have to see bags and solve two problems, including how to remove puffiness under the eyes.

Or maybe you should still trust a professional?!

To the question “Is it necessary to visit a cosmetologist after 40 years?” there is a clear answer “Yes”. It is at this age that visits to this specialist should become regular. Only a professional can eliminate all skin defects and give it a second youth. But among the variety of procedures, you can very easily get confused, so let’s look at the most popular and effective of them.

  1. Microdermabrasion - during this procedure, the top layer of the epidermis is removed, thereby clearing the skin of dead cells, and the pores begin to “breathe” and narrow. The effect of this procedure is similar to the effect of chemical peeling, but it occurs much faster. Thanks to microdermabrasion, the skin looks noticeably healthier, the complexion is evened out, and rashes disappear over time.
  2. Contour plastic surgery – the cosmetologist injects a gel filler, which contains hyaluronic acid, under the client’s skin. Thanks to this manipulation, sagging areas of the skin are tightened, the facial contour becomes clearer, the skin acquires elasticity, and expression and age wrinkles are smoothed out.
  3. RF lifting – this procedure replaces a facelift, because affects the deep layers of the skin, tightening them. After such lifting, the skin is renewed, the oval of the face acquires clear contours, and the effect of sagging skin disappears.
  4. Mesotherapy – vital substances are injected under the skin to nourish and moisturize the skin from the inside.
  5. Deep peeling – cleanses pores of dust and cosmetic residues. During the procedure, dead skin cells are removed, allowing the creams to penetrate deeper into the skin and work more effectively.
