Treatment For Under Eye Wrinkles
Best Home Remedies For Wrinkles Under The Eyes
1. Nourish Skin Around Your Eyes With Pineapple Juice: Pineapple juice contains an active enzyme called bromelain that acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and is also a natural form of alpha hydroxyl acid. So it helps in reducing inflammation and works as an under-eye wrinkles treatment. A bonus point is that pineapple juice has astringent properties, too, so it exfoliates skin as well.
To get rid of wrinkles under your eyes, apply the juice all over your face, concentrating on areas around your eyes (or you can apply it only on wrinkle area). Gently massage the skin area having wrinkles and fine lines. Leave the juice on for about 20 minutes, and then rinse it off. Make it a habit to treat wrinkles in general. This treatment makes your skin soft, supple, and elastic, so helps prevent the early onset of wrinkles.
2. Castor Oil – Under Eye Moisturizer: Castor oil is one of the best moisturizers for delicate or sensitive skin. The skin under the eyes is very sensitive and delicate and needs moisturizing every day to protect it from the development of wrinkles.
Wash your hands and face. Dry your skin with a clean, soft towel. Dip your index finger in castor oil and gently massage the wrinkled areas at night right before you sleep. Make sure not to over-moisturize the area, as this can result in puffy eyes. Leave it overnight. When practiced regularly, the thick consistency of castor oil will help not only in keeping the area well moisturized but also get rid of wrinkles and smooth out the lines.
3. Rose Water – Under Eye Skin Toner: Rose water has skin toning and rejuvenating properties, thus can tighten skin and treat wrinkles. Soak a cotton ball in rose water, dab, and rub gently under the eyes. Let it air dry and remain on the skin. Follow this remedy twice daily to remove wrinkles under the eyes and avert further occurrence of fine lines.
4. Cucumber – Natural Skin Moisturizer: A deficiency of moisture can break your skin due to pressure, leading to the occurrence of wrinkles. Especially the under eyes skin, which is very delicate, can give way to wrinkle lines faster than the normal skin, and moreover, they are harder to get rid of as well. So, a great way to keep under eyes wrinkles at bay is to keep your skin under the eyes well moisturized.
Slice the cucumber and keep the slices in the refrigerator to cool them. Place the cooled slices under your eyes daily and lie down for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can mash cucumber and apply the juice directly on the under eyes skin. Rinse it off after 15-20 minutes.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Good For Hydrating Skin: Extra virgin olive oil deep moisturizes your skin. Like honey, it works as a humectant that helps to lock in moisturizer into the skin.
Warm this oil a little bit, and massage it under the eyes with your index finger for a couple of minutes. For the best results, apply it before you sleep, leaving it on overnight.
6. Papaya And Honey: Papaya has properties to remove fine lines from the skin. Mash a few pieces of fully ripe papaya and mix in some organic honey for moisturizing skin. You can apply this paste to your entire face, concentrating on the skin around your eyes. Rinse it off after about 20 minutes. This will not only get rid of the fine lines but also make your face glow.

Natural Beauty Tip: You can apply the paste all over your face, concentrating on the under-eye skin area.
10. Egg White-Skin Tightening Agent: Egg white is well known for its skin-tightening properties, so can be used for firming up the skin. Because of this characteristic, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and also prevents the early onset of wrinkles and fine lines.
Separate egg white from egg yolk and whisk it thoroughly. Apply it over your skin, leave a thin layer under your skin, and rinse it off when the skin starts getting pulled. Use this remedy regularly.

Thanks for sharing your input.
Although, there is no concrete evidence that egg whites provide any long-term results for the skin, but there are short-term benefits. Smaller pores, tighter skin and a smoother complexion have been reported as immediate and temporary results. People who have food allergies should be careful when using raw egg whites on their skin. Anyone deciding to test them out should do a test on a small area of the skin prior to spreading egg whites all over the face.
