Eye Wrinkles: When to Start Caring and What Really Works

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB.

Have you started noticing fine lines around your eyes? Does your makeup crease more than before or your eyes look tired even when you're well-rested?

Eye wrinkles are among the first signs of aging — and they’re also one of the trickiest to treat. Here’s how dermatologists approach prevention, home care, and treatment options based on wrinkle severity and skin sensitivity.

Why Do Eye Wrinkles Appear First?

• The skin around the eyes is thin and lacks oil glands, making it prone to dryness
• It moves constantly throughout the day due to facial expressions
• Early-stage wrinkles form from repeated movement and dehydration
• Without intervention, they deepen into more permanent lines over time

When Should You Start Caring for Eye Wrinkles?

Most people start to see fine lines in their early to mid-30s, but dermatologists recommend beginning prevention in your late 20s — because once wrinkles settle in, home care alone usually isn’t enough.

The earlier you start, the better your long-term results will be.
