Excessive sun exposure can also accelerate the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.

Brilio.net - Dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes are common problems that many people face, especially as they age. Both of these problems often lower self-confidence and make the face look more tired or older.

Dark circles under the eyes often appear due to a variety of factors, such as lack of sleep, stress, poor diet, or even genetics. Not getting enough sleep can also cause the blood vessels under the eyes to enlarge and appear darker, creating the appearance of dark circles.

In addition, the skin around the eyes is very thin, making visible blood vessels more visible. Genetics also play a role, as some people naturally have thinner skin around the eyes or tend to have more visible blood vessels.

Wrinkles around the eyes, on the other hand, are a result of the natural aging process. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, making the skin lose its elasticity and become more prone to wrinkles.

Excessive sun exposure can also accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, as UV rays damage collagen and elastin fibers, which help maintain skin firmness and elasticity. The habit of squinting or frowning can also cause deeper wrinkles around the eyes.

To overcome this, most people will rely on eye cream or other similar products. In fact, there are natural ingredients that are no less effective in dealing with dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @myotonemethod.

Aloe vera is believed to be able to overcome dark circles and wrinkles in the eye area because of its natural content which is rich in nutrients, including vitamins E, C, and A, as well as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can rejuvenate the skin.

Vitamins E and C in aloe vera play a vital role in improving blood circulation, which can reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. In addition, vitamin A plays a role in stimulating collagen production, which is essential for maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin around the eyes, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
