Many women suffer from the issue of droopy eyelids, which can negatively impact the aesthetic appearance of the eyes by making them appear small and tired. The condition also contributes to an aged appearance and can pose difficulties in vision.
“Jolie” magazine, a specialist in fashion and beauty, defines droopy eyelids as a sagging of the upper eyelid skin such that it covers the upper eyelid when the eye is open. The magazine attributes this condition to several causes, with genetics being a primary factor. This genetic predisposition involves an increase in tissue that causes the upper eyelid to bend and cover the fold of the eyelid and the surrounding movable skin.
Sagging of the upper eyelid skin may also be due to aging, as connective tissues weaken, lose their elasticity, and the skin begins to droop with age. This is caused by a decrease in elastin and collagen.
To address droopy eyelids, proper eye care is essential. It’s important to use an eye care cream that hydrates and tightens the eyelids, such as creams containing hyaluronic acid and collagen. Applying the cream daily is recommended to achieve the desired effect.
In terms of natural alternatives, black tea contains tannins that can tighten the skin. To benefit from this effect, a cotton pad dipped in cold black tea can be placed on closed eyelids to cool them for a duration ranging from 10 to 15 minutes.
As a permanent solution, surgery to tighten the eyelid can be considered by removing the excess tissue.
On the other hand, makeup tricks can also be used to distract from droopy eyelids. Thin and slightly arched eyebrows can help to open up the eyes and visually lift the drooping lids.
Additionally, applying a highlighter under the eyebrows can also visually open the eyes and lift the droopy lids.
