Can Crying Cause Wrinkles?
Does crying contribute to wrinkles? The endless nights of sobbing will leave your eyeballs and under-eyes feeling like a bad rug burn. Your skin feels as tender as the heart that’s been shattered. Now take a moment, dry those tears and listen up!
Think of your skin as a reflection of the emotional storm brewing inside your body, it too is suffering with you and needs a little extra TLC. During times of distress we tend to stray away from our daily self-care routine as this drops down the list of priorities.
Let us examine a common skin issue during this period.
SENSITIVITY OR DRY SKIN AROUND THE EYES
The constant flow of tears, friction, and pressure on your eyes leaves your skin feeling tender and looking tired. This fragile skin is easily irritated and can become puffy or sunken, magnifying fine lines and wrinkles.
It is important to protect and nourish your eye area by using proper eye care products and application.
HOW-TO TIPS:
If you already using eye care, add an extra dab after applying moisturizer for added barrier. When applying, ensure you are only applying on the ocular bone using your ring fingers in a dabbing motion. Use day and night before applying your moisturizer, and possibly once in between if your eyes are feeling really dry.
Keep products in a cool dark cupboard or fridge for added soothing effects. Once products are cool give yourself a gentle eye massage. This should help keep wrinkles away after some heavy crying.
