Why the Skin Around Your Eye Ages Fast, and the Key Nutrients to Slow the Crow’s Feet

The Anatomy of Eye Skin

Your skin is the largest organ of the body, covering you from head to toe. But skin is not the same all over. The epidermis, (the outer layer of skin), is thinnest on eyelids and thickest on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet.
That thin skin breaks down faster than thicker skin does because it isn’t as collagen-rich (collagen is a protein that gives skin a supple, firm appearance) as other areas of your body.
As collagen naturally decreases with age, fine lines and wrinkles appear to be more visible on the surface of the skin. Eyes are very expressive, too. All the micro-contractions that happen to your skin as you smile or squint in the sun can cause creases in the skin over time. Plus, thin skin means that veins underneath the skin show more, which can contribute to the appearance of dark circles.

Eye skin also lacks sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, or what we think of as “oil”. That waxy substance coats and lubricates the skin. Areas without sebaceous glands and sebum are prone to dryness. Hence, fine lines and wrinkles look more noticeable on dry and dehydrated skin.

Your eye skin can also be subject to a lot of wear and tear. We touch and rub our eyes without even realizing it. Maybe you remove eye makeup every night. Over time, even light tugging can stretch out the thin eye skin and contribute to under-eye and eyelid sagging.
Eye Skin Breakdown
So, now you know why eye skin shows the signs of aging more quickly than other areas on your face and body, but did you know that different parts of the eye area are prone to different issues? Here is what you can expect in the three main areas of your eye skin.

Under-eye skin:
The delicate, thin skin under your eyes is quick to show fine lines and wrinkles. As we mentioned above, as collagen in the skin decreases, the veins and blood vessels become more prominent contributing to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. As we age, the muscles and structure under the eye weaken, which means the skin gets lax and saggy. Also, it’s a prime area for fluid retention, making the under-eye area look puffy.

Eyelid skin: The skin on your upper lids is the thinnest of all the skin on your body. That makes it extremely fragile. Eyelid sagging happens with age and also from excessive rubbing. Eyelid skin is also prone to crepiness.

Outer-eye area: The skin here crinkles up when you smile or squint, and over time, those expression lines get etched into your skin. This forms what we know as crow’s feet—those curved lines in the outer corners of your eyes.
