1. Adjust the diet to tighten the eyelids
The reason for eyelid relaxation may be that the lost collagen and elastic fibers in eyelid cells are not replenished in time, which leads to the failure of eyelid support. You may wish to eat more foods rich in collagen in your diet, such as pig's feet, beef tendon and chicken skin.
2. Use eye cream to tighten eyelids
Eye cream can help prevent eyelid relaxation. The nutrients contained in the eye cream can effectively moisturize the skin around eyes, dilute the wrinkles around eyes and tighten the skin around eyes. Sticking to using eye cream once a day can help tighten eyelids and repair loose eyelids.
Use of eye cream: When using eye cream, it is best to pat and absorb it with your fingertips on the lower eyelid and gently wipe and absorb it on the upper eyelid.
3. Use the eye mask to tighten the eyelids
The main function of the eye mask is to effectively nourish the skin around the eyes to improve the skin condition around the eyes. Eyelid relaxation can help to restore the relaxed eyelids by using an eye mask with skin tightening effect.
Pay attention to the eye mask once a week. If the eyelid is slack, it can be 2-3 times a week. When the eyelid is slowly tightened, the interval between applying the eye mask should also be extended to avoid excessive nutrition and fat particles on the eyelid.
4. Eyelid massage tightens the eyelids
Finger rubbing and pressing through the eye skin and acupoints around the eyes can effectively promote the blood circulation around the eyes, increase the nutritional supply of the skin around the eyes, and help improve eyelid relaxation.
Eyelid massage: Generally, when you massage, you can press with your fingertips, and then press the lower eyelid from the brow to the end of the eyebrow through the temple, or gently press the upper eyelid with your fingertips. When doing eye massage, you can use honey, olive oil, etc., and it can also help to dilute the problems such as wrinkles, dark circles and edema around the eyes.
5. Tightening eyelids in cosmetic surgery
Massage with eye cream and eye mask is only effective for slight eyelid relaxation. If it is serious eyelid relaxation, besides the above methods, you can also tighten the skin by cosmetic surgery. It should be noted that the operation must be carried out by a formal and authoritative medical institution in order to avoid side effects as much as possible.
6. Adjust work and rest to prevent relaxation
In addition to the natural aging of cells, eyelid relaxation is also caused by vigorous rubbing of eyelids and excessive pulling of eyelids when removing makeup. Adjusting bad habits in life can help prevent eyelid relaxation.
1. avoid rubbing your eyelids vigorously, especially when removing makeup, avoid pulling your eyelids excessively;
2. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, which is not only prone to wrinkles, but also may affect your eyesight;
3. avoid drinking too much water before going to bed, which will lead to eyelid edema and relaxation.
7. What are the causes of drooping eyelids
1. Physiological factors
With the growth of age, the skin tissue above the eyes will become more and more relaxed, and the eyelids will droop quietly. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, and everyone will experience such excessive aging.
2. Congenital factors lead to blepharoptosis
After birth, the eyes are not open, which is caused by the branch of levator palpebrae superioris or the hypoplasia of oculomotor nerve nucleus, which causes the lower edge of the upper eyelid to cover the upper edge of the cornea too much, thus making the eye fissure of the sick eye appear smaller than that of the normal eye. This kind of blepharoptosis has certain heredity.
3. Minor stroke
Sometimes, drooping eyelids may be a sign of minor stroke. If you feel numbness and fatigue in your face, hands and feet, or a tingling sensation from needles, you'd better check with a doctor as soon as possible, because this symptom is a warning signal and must be dealt with immediately. The occurrence time of minor stroke is very short, ranging from 3 seconds to 24 hours, and the symptoms of 9% people last less than 2 hours. People with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes are at high risk. Therefore, when the eyelids droop, don't take it lightly.
4. Diabetes
If the elderly suddenly find one eyelid drooping, and often feel pain in the supraorbital region of the affected side, or have double vision, they have not improved after injection of drugs, and accompanied by increased blood sugar, they are probably suffering from diabetes.
5. Brain stem lesions
If one eyelid droops with dilated pupils and the other upper and lower limbs are numb and weak, it may be a brain stem lesion. Children often have brain stem tumors, and the elderly are more common in brain stem angiopathy.
6. Myasthenia gravis
If ptosis occurs slowly, and the symptoms in both eyes are one after the other, and it is light in the morning and heavy in the evening, and there is obvious fluctuation within one day, it is very likely that you have myasthenia gravis.
7. Intracranial Aneurysm
Intracranial Aneurysm can cause eyelid drooping, which is also unilateral. Suddenly, its pupils are often dilated. If it is accompanied by severe headache, vomiting, convulsions, coma, etc., it is likely to be subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured aneurysm. You should go to the neurology department immediately for rescue.
8. Horner's syndrome
If only one eyelid droops and the same side doesn't sweat under any conditions, this time the pupil of the eye shrinks, the eyeball retreats and the iris becomes discolored, which is probably Horner's syndrome. The cause of this disease is serious damage to facial nerve, which may be head or neck injury, brain tumor, spinal cord lesion, etc., or lung cancer.
9. Systemic diseases
Unilateral blepharoptosis may also be caused by systemic diseases or ganglionic diseases, such as tumors and infections, which need timely treatment.
