Natural & Home Remedies for Smoother Eyes

The skin around our eyes is easily affected by outside factors, causing under-eye wrinkles and fine lines

Different skincare products are marketed to help with lines under the eyes, but not every product is good for your skin as the under-eye area is really sensitive. For this reason, it is very important to double-check everything before buying a formula.

However, another thing that you can do is use natural remedies. Curious how that works? Keep on reading this post to know more about the 8 best natural remedies for under eye wrinkles.

What Causes Under-Eye Wrinkles?

Under-eye wrinkles are caused by sun exposure, loss of collagen, facial movements, dehydration, and rubbing or tugging the skin. Poor sleep and stress can also make them worse.

They are a natural part of aging, but with home remedies for lines under the eyes, you can slow them down and keep your skin fresh. You can’t fully get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, but you can reduce them naturally with organic remedies.

Natural remedies, when used regularly, can help hydrate, boost elasticity, and soften fine lines without irritating your skin. 

8 Best Natural Remedies for Under-Eye Wrinkles

If your skin is sensitive and you’re not looking for any harsh treatments, then we recommend using these natural remedies for smoother eyes:

Aloe Vera Gel:

Aloe vera gel consists of anti-inflammatory and healing properties, which naturally soothe your skin.

Research has proven that aloe vera can boost collagen and elastin easily if you use it on a regular basis. I recommend extracting the gel and then cutting it into small slices. You can later refrigerate the slices for 30 minutes and then apply for 15 minutes (daily).

Cucumber Slices:

Another natural remedy is using cucumber slices because they are rich in silica, ascorbic acid, and caffeic acid. Both of these substances help reduce puffiness in your under-eye area significantly. 

Also, the hydrating and cooling properties of cucumber help brighten dark circles.

Egg White Mask:

Egg white mask is popular for giving your skin a quick firming effect. This happens because of the albumin proteins in egg whites that temporarily tighten the skin. Egg whites also consist of magnesium, which is popular for its detoxification properties.

To create it, whisk one egg white and then apply it under your eyes for 15 minutes. Rinse it later. If you have an egg allergy, then please avoid this remedy.

Honey and Yogurt Mask:

Next up on our list is the honey and yogurt mask, which exfoliates your skin and renews it in a sense. Lactic acid from yogurt removes dead cells, while honey’s enzymes support the healing of skin cells.

I would recommend mixing 1 tablespoon of each and applying for 10 minutes. After that, you can wash your face. Applying it 2-3 times per week is enough.

Green Tea Bags:

Green tea consists of antioxidants (catechins and EGCG), and it has anti-inflammatory properties. The caffeine in green tea bags protects your skin and reduces puffiness.

Soak two green tea bags in hot water and chill them in the fridge. Place them over your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes daily.

Rose Water:

Rose water helps reduce the redness and puffiness in your under-eye area. It consists of antioxidants like Vitamin A, Vitamin C and different phenolic compounds that protect your skin from the damage done by oxidative stress. 

Due to these properties, rose water is known for anti-aging.

Almond Oil:

Almond oil acts like a natural moisturizer and is quite helpful if you’re struggling with lines under your eyes. Since it’s rich in Vitamin E, almond oil can also help reduce dark circles. 

Apply 1 to 2 drops of almond oil under each eye before bed and gently massage eye wrinkles away with your ring finger.

Turmeric and Buttermilk Mask:

Turmeric contains curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce puffiness and inflammation. It also brightens the under-eye area. On the other hand, buttermilk consists of gentle lactic acid and natural moisturizing capabilities. 

When combined, the mask proves to be a soothing relief for tired eyes. You can mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder with 1 tablespoon of buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, then blending water and milk powder works, too. After preparing it, apply a thin layer under the eyes. Keep it on for 10 minutes, and then rinse gently. Use it 2 to 3 times per week.

Final Words:

Natural remedies work best when you pair them with daily habits like getting enough sleep, drinking water, eating an antioxidant-rich diet, and protecting your skin from the sun.

However, if you are not into DIY all the time, you can also use clean, organic products for your skin in order to get long-term support. 

That is why we create our products to deliver plant-based hydration and protection without using any rough ingredients. Glixxy products are designed for sensitive skin so that they work well with your skin, not against it.

So, if you are wondering how to prevent wrinkles? We recommend combining these natural remedies with our organic and plant-based products!
