Find out the causes of sagging eyes

In order to improve sagging around the eyes, it is important to first understand its causes. By knowing the causes, you can choose the appropriate care method and deal with it effectively. Below, we will explain the main factors that affect sagging around the eyes.

Effects of Muscle Weakness

The muscles around the eyes, especially the orbicularis oculi, play an important role in supporting the area around the eyes. However, when muscle strength decreases due to aging or overuse of the eyes, the firmness around the eyes is lost and sagging becomes more noticeable. For example, using a smartphone or computer for long periods of time can fatigue the muscles around the eyes, accelerating their deterioration.

Tip : To maintain eye muscle strength, it's important to take regular breaks and relax your eyes.

Loss of skin elasticity and aging

Aging is a major cause of sagging around the eyes. As we age, the collagen and hyaluronic acid that maintain skin elasticity decrease. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, and sagging and wrinkles become more noticeable. Damage from ultraviolet rays is also one of the factors that accelerate skin aging.

Loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid : The main cause of skin loss of firmness.
Effects of UV rays : Destroys the internal structure of the skin and accelerates aging.

Tip : Maintain skin elasticity by taking regular measures to protect your skin from UV rays and keeping it moisturized.

Effects of swelling and poor circulation

Swelling and poor circulation are also factors that cause sagging around the eyes. In particular, lack of sleep and a high-salt diet can worsen swelling under the eyes. Poor circulation can cause waste products to accumulate, making the area around the eyes look dull.

Causes of swelling : Excessive salt intake, lack of sleep, and staying in the same position for a long time.
Effects of poor circulation : Accumulation of waste products and darkening of skin tone.

Tip : Using a warm towel on the eye area or giving yourself a gentle massage can help improve circulation and reduce puffiness.

Sagging around the eyes is caused by a complex combination of various factors. However, by understanding these causes and taking appropriate measures in daily life, it is possible to prevent and improve sagging. In the next section, we will introduce specific self-care methods.

The impact of everyday habits

Did you know that your daily habits have a big impact on sagging around the eyes? The actions you take every day without even thinking about it may be taking away the firmness and elasticity around your eyes, causing sagging. Below, we will explain the habits you should be particularly careful of and how to improve them.

1. Using smartphones or computers for long periods of time

When you use a smartphone or computer for a long time, the muscles around your eyes are overworked and fatigue accumulates. This fatigue accelerates the weakening of the orbicularis oculi muscle, causing sagging around the eyes. Staring at the screen also reduces the number of times you blink, which can lead to poor circulation and dryness around the eyes.

Solution : Try to look away from the screen every hour and focus on something far away. Even something as simple as closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths can help relieve muscle tension.

2. Lack of sleep

Lack of sleep can cause puffiness and poor circulation around the eyes, worsening sagging. In particular, staying up late or having irregular sleep habits can hinder skin regeneration and accelerate aging around the eyes.

Tip : To ensure good quality sleep, establish a routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. It's also important to avoid using your smartphone before going to bed and to create a relaxing environment.

3. High-salt diet

Excessive salt intake disrupts the body's fluid balance and causes swelling. The skin around the eyes is particularly thin, making swelling more noticeable and leading to sagging skin.

How to improve : Limit your salt intake and eat foods high in potassium (such as bananas and spinach), which will help flush excess fluid from your body.

4. Lack of UV protection

UV rays destroy collagen and elastin in the skin, causing the elasticity of the eye area to decrease. If you neglect to take measures against UV rays on a daily basis, the aging of the eye area will progress and sagging will become more noticeable.

Tip : When you go outside, wear sunglasses with UV protection and sunscreen, especially for the eye area, to protect the delicate skin.

Small habits in daily life can have a big impact on the health of your eyes. By being aware of these points and making small improvements, you can prevent sagging around the eyes and maintain a youthful appearance. Your efforts will be the first step to restoring bright, healthy eyes.

How to improve sagging skin with eye massage

Daily care is essential to improve sagging around the eyes. Eye massage is one of the most recommended and easy ways to do this. It promotes blood circulation, relieves swelling, and strengthens the muscles around the eyes. Below, we will introduce specific massage methods.

Basic massage to improve blood circulation

Poor circulation can cause sagging and dullness around the eyes. By doing a basic massage, you can improve blood flow around the eyes and make the skin firmer.

Gently massage the area around the eyes . Use the pads of your fingers to massage in a circular motion along the bones around your eyes. Move from the beginning of your eyebrow to the end, under your eye and back to the beginning again. Don't use too much pressure, and stay relaxed as you massage.
Press your temples If you feel your eyes are tired, try gently pressing your temples. This will improve blood circulation and refresh the area around your eyes.

Tip : Just 1-2 minutes of massage every day will change the appearance of your eyes.

Lymphatic massage to relieve swelling

Swelling is the cause of noticeable sagging around the eyes. By improving lymphatic flow, excess water and waste products can be eliminated, reducing swelling.

Use your index and middle fingers to gently massage from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Then, massage from your temples to under your ears to help drain the lymph.
Gently press under the eyes : Place your fingers in the hollows of the bones under your eyes and apply gentle pressure to help drain the lymph. This will reduce puffiness and firm the area around your eyes.

Tip : Using a hot towel before your massage can help improve circulation even more.

Exercises to strengthen the eye muscles

By strengthening the muscles around your eyes, especially the orbicularis oculi, you can prevent sagging and make your eyes look firmer. Try these exercises:

Eye opening and closing exercises

Open your eyes wide and hold for 5 seconds.
Then, close your eyes tightly and hold that position for 5 seconds.
Repeat this 10 times.

This exercise is effective in strengthening the orbicularis oculi muscles, which strengthens the muscles around the eyes and reduces the appearance of sagging skin.

Pressing acupressure points around the eyes

There are several pressure points around the eyes that can improve blood circulation and relax the muscles.

Seimei : Lightly press the pressure point located slightly inside the inner corner of the eye. This has the effect of relieving eye fatigue.
Sanchiku : Press the pressure point under the eyebrows to reduce puffiness and refresh the eye area.
Sun : Press the acupressure points on your temples to improve blood circulation and relax you.

Tip : Press each acupressure point for about 5 seconds, and be careful not to press too hard.

Eye massage not only improves sagging skin, but also brightens the overall impression of the eye area. By incorporating it into your daily care, you can maintain a youthful look around the eyes. Please try it today.

Refresh your eyes with skincare and makeup

To improve sagging around the eyes and restore a youthful appearance, it is essential to use skin care and makeup properly. By incorporating the right care and techniques, you can dramatically change the impression of your eyes. Below, we will explain the specific methods in detail.

Skin care approach

The importance of moisturizing care

The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and prone to dryness. Dryness is a major cause of wrinkles and sagging. By taking thorough moisturizing care, you can keep the skin around your eyes firm and moisturized.

Morning and evening moisturizing care : After washing your face, use a moisturizing cream or serum designed for the eye area. Gently rubbing the cream into your skin with the pads of your fingers will allow the moisturizing ingredients to penetrate without straining your skin.
Hydration : If you feel dry during the day, lightly spraying a mist of lotion can be effective.

Tip : By keeping your skin moisturized, you can prevent sagging around the eyes and maintain skin elasticity.

How to use eye cream

Eye creams have a lighter texture than regular moisturizing creams and are suitable for the delicate eye area. When used correctly, they can help reduce the appearance of sagging and wrinkles around the eyes.

Use a small amount : Put a rice-sized amount of cream into your hand and warm it between your fingertips.
Apply gently : Gently tap from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner.
Add a massage : After application, massaging the area around the eyes will increase blood circulation and further enhance the effect.

Note : Do not rub too hard. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and susceptible to damage from friction.

Makeup techniques using long-wear air cushion foundation

Using highlights and shading

To refresh your eyes with makeup, it is important to use highlights and shadings effectively, which will give your eyes a three-dimensional look and reduce the appearance of sagging skin.

How to use highlighter : Lightly dab highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes and under your brows to brighten the appearance of your eyes. Use Longwear Air Cushion Foundation to create a natural glow.
Shading tips : Applying a light layer of shading to areas under the eyes where sagging is a concern will cover the shadows and create a firmer look.

Tip : Use subtle amounts of highlight and shade to achieve a natural look.

How to use eye concealer

To cover dark circles and sagging skin around the eyes, a concealer designed specifically for the eyes is effective. When used properly, it can eliminate the appearance of tiredness.

Take a small amount : Apply a small amount of concealer to your fingertips or brush and dot it under your eyes.
Blend gently : Use your fingertips or a sponge to gently pat the product into your skin.
Finish with foundation : Apply Longwear Air Cushion Foundation on top for a more natural, even finish.

Tip : The colour of your concealer is also important. Choose a colour that is one shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten up your eyes.

Combining skin care and makeup can effectively cover sagging skin around the eyes and give you a youthful appearance. With daily care and a little ingenuity, your eyes will shine even more.

Refresh your eyes in an instant way

Care using cold packs and hot towels

When you feel tired or have bags around your eyes, using cold packs or hot towels is an easy and fast solution to improve circulation and reduce puffiness.

Using a cold pack : Applying a cold pack to the eye area will constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This is especially recommended if you are concerned about morning swelling. Using a gel pack chilled in the refrigerator or a cold spoon is also effective.

Tip : When using a cold pack, do not place it directly on your skin. Instead, place a thin cloth or towel between the pack to avoid irritation.
Relax with a warm towel . Placing a warm towel around your eyes will improve blood circulation and relieve eye fatigue. It's easy to use a towel that has been warmed up in the microwave. Just close your eyes and relax while leaving it on for 1-2 minutes, and your eyes will feel refreshed.

Tip : For added benefits, add a light massage after the hot towel treatment.

We also recommend "hot and cold care," which alternates between cooling and warming. This will activate blood flow and make sagging and fatigue around the eyes less noticeable. Even on busy days, please try this care that can be done in just a few minutes.

Take thorough measures against UV rays

Ultraviolet rays destroy collagen and elastin in the skin, accelerating aging around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and vulnerable to the effects of UV rays. Protect your skin from UV rays with the following methods.

Use sunscreen
Choose a sunscreen with a high SPF and a lightweight texture designed specifically for the eye area. Applying it at the end of your morning skincare routine will provide you with the best protection from UV rays.
Make use of sunglasses . When you go out, wear sunglasses with UV protection. Not only will they protect your eyes from direct UV rays, they will also reduce the amount of squinting you do, which will help prevent wrinkles.
Use a hat or parasol. On sunny days, use a wide-brimmed hat or parasol. This will protect not only your eyes but your entire face from UV rays.

Tip : UV protection is important in any season. Even on cloudy days, UV rays are still shining down on your skin, so don't let your guard down.

Moisturizing care to keep the eye area moist

Dryness around the eyes is a major cause of sagging and wrinkles. By getting into the habit of moisturizing your skin, you can maintain the moisture content of your skin and keep your eye area elastic.

Use a cream specifically designed for the eye area . Use a moisturizing cream specifically designed for the delicate eye area. For example, choose a cream with a light texture that is gentle on the skin, so it will hydrate without weighing you down.

Intensive Nighttime Care At night, your skin repairs itself. Apply a generous amount of eye cream before going to bed and gently massage your skin in to make your eyes look plump and smooth the next morning.
