Wrinkles at the Corners of the Eyes are one of the manifestations of physiological aging in the human body. They are wrinkles that appear between the outer corners of the eyes and the temples. The pattern of these wrinkles is similar to the pattern on a fish's tail, hence the name "fish tail wrinkles".
One of the things women fear the most is the changes in their bodies and physiology. The appearance of the first gray hair, the first wrinkle or fish tail wrinkle, can cause unmatched fear in women, as these fine lines indicate the onset of aging. Eye wrinkles are also the first signs of aging on the body, and these fine lines unintentionally reveal your age, which is frightening.
Therefore, many female friends are looking for ways to maintain their youth. Some use cosmetics, while others rely on advanced medical techniques for cosmetic surgery. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates that in order to stay young and beautiful, women not only need to improve their mindset, but also need to perform necessary massages on themselves. Massage is the most effective way to maintain youthful skin:
Choose the Right Acupoints for Massage
When massaging, three acupoints are involved: Zan Zhu, Si Zhu Kong, Tong Zi Liao. The sore and numb areas are the right ones.
By massaging these acupoints, blood circulation around the eyes can be improved, removing waste from the blood, allowing the eyes to receive more nutrients, and keeping the skin elastic, tight, and reducing wrinkles.
Follow the Correct Massage Techniques
Step 1: Rub your hands together to warm them up, then gently massage the skin around the eyes with your fingertips, rotating and massaging a few circles, then press the Zan Zhu, Si Zhu Kong, and Tong Zi Liao acupoints in order. Then massage from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, feeling a tightening sensation in the eyes.
Step 2: Starting from the position of the jawbone, use your index and middle fingers to gently push upwards on the facial skin, repeating about five times, then tilt your head back and stretch your neck, massaging the neck to relax the neck muscles.
Step 3: Slightly open your index and middle fingers, gradually massage from the bridge of the nose to the ears, then close your eyes and massage around the eyes back and forth, effectively removing expression lines and reducing eye bags.
Friendly reminder: Do this routine once after waking up and before going to bed, to effectively reduce fine lines at the corners of the eyes.
The Correct Method for Pregnant Women to Massage and Remove Fish Tail Wrinkles:
(1) Follow the C-shaped area and press gently to promote venous blood flow and help eliminate eye bags (excessive weight under the eye bags can induce tear trough lines). The tension applied during pressing is radial, so it will not cause directed rearrangement of collagen fibers.
(2) Apply tension and pressure in the direction of the wrinkles.
However, the method of parallel scissor hands is definitely wrong. In theory, the vertical scissor hands can apply pressure and tension in the direction parallel to the wrinkles, causing the rearrangement of collagen fibers and helping to alleviate wrinkles and prevent them from worsening.
It should be noted that the fingers of the scissor hand close to the eye area should be fixed to avoid the pulling force of the middle finger affecting the lower part of the eye. Observations have shown that if not fixed properly, the pulling force can affect wrinkles in the lower part of the eye. Due to the change in position, some parallel tension will decompose into oblique tension, which may deepen wrinkles in the lower part of the eye.
Preventive Measures
Women of a certain age, due to the reduction of subcutaneous fat and the decline of muscle elasticity, will develop "fish tail wrinkles" at the outer corners of the eyes. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken in advance.
First, maintain a happy mood in daily work and life, and do not always feel distressed and worried, to prevent fish tail wrinkles caused by frowning.
Second, get rid of some bad habits in daily life. For example, some people like to squint their eyes to see things, or lie down to read, or rub their eyes with dirty hands. These are all bad habits that can easily cause eye problems and fish tail wrinkles, so they should be restrained.
Third, mix fresh milk and honey evenly, then apply it to the areas where wrinkles are prone to appear at the corners of the eyes, and massage for 5 minutes. Let it stay on the eyes for 30 minutes before washing it off. Do this once every night.
Fourth, apply some wrinkle-removing eye cream or essence to the corner of the eyes, and massage the area for 3 minutes to better absorb the nutrients.
Here are a few simple and effective methods to delay the appearance of fish tail wrinkles.
Dietary Therapy
There are many methods to eliminate fish tail wrinkles, and you can choose the specific one according to your own situation. The best method for you is the one that suits you the most. Once fish tail wrinkles become prominent, the root cause should be addressed by restoring the cells' oxygen absorption and antioxidant capabilities. The most important method is to take strong antioxidants orally and apply them topically, such as astaxanthin, lycopene, and vitamin E.
