The eye contour is often the first area to show signs of aging, mainly because the skin around the eyes is extremely thin and delicate.

The eye contour is one of the most active areas of the face, constantly moving with facial expressions and exposed to light and environmental factors throughout the day, conditions that accelerate the aging process. Over time, collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. Meanwhile, displacement or reduction of the subcutaneous fat layer can cause hollowness or puffiness under the eyes. Genetic predisposition, sleep patterns, stress levels, and alcohol or salt consumption are also influential factors. Because the skin around the eyes is delicate, it requires special care. Direct exposure to sunlight accelerates skin aging, so using sunscreens with UVA/UVB protection year-round, not only in summer, is essential. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule, staying well-hydrated, and using moisturizers and antioxidant-rich products suitable for the eye area are beneficial habits. Applying cold compresses, reducing salt intake, and limiting screen time can also help maintain eye-area health. When necessary, medical or surgical procedures may be considered under professional supervision. In all such treatments, the priority should be preserving natural expression and overall facial harmony.
