Top Causes of Under-Eye Wrinkles and How Natural Oils Can Help
by Dimitris Zikos on Nov 07, 2025
The skin around your eyes is delicate, thin, and often the first place to show signs of aging. From fine lines and crow’s feet to puffiness and dryness, under-eye wrinkles are a common concern for many people. While these changes are a natural part of the aging process, they can be accelerated by environmental factors, poor skincare habits, and lifestyle choices. Fortunately, nature provides us with gentle, effective remedies—and natural oils are at the top of the list.
What Causes Under-Eye Wrinkles?
-
Aging & Loss of Collagen
As we age, collagen and elastin levels in the skin decrease. This leads to a loss of firmness and elasticity, making the skin more prone to wrinkling and sagging. -
Sun Exposure (UV Damage)
The skin under the eyes is extremely thin, making it especially vulnerable to UV rays. Sun exposure speeds up the breakdown of collagen, resulting in premature wrinkles and discoloration. -
Dryness & Dehydration
The under-eye area has fewer oil glands than the rest of your face. Without enough moisture, this skin becomes dry and creased more easily. -
Facial Expressions
Smiling, squinting, and other facial movements contribute to the formation of fine lines over time. These expression lines can deepen with age and become more permanent. -
Lack of Sleep & Poor Lifestyle Habits
Sleep deprivation, smoking, and poor diet all contribute to under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and accelerated aging.
How Natural Oils Can Help
Natural plant oils are rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins that nourish the skin and help slow visible signs of aging. When used consistently, they help improve moisture retention, reduce inflammation, and support the skin’s natural repair process.
1. Rosehip Oil
One of the star ingredients in our collection, Teliaoils Rosehip Oil is packed with vitamin A (retinoic acid), vitamin C, and essential fatty acids. These components help brighten the under-eye area, support collagen production, and smooth fine lines over time.
2. Avocado Seed Oil
Rich in oleic acid and vitamin E, avocado seed oil deeply hydrates the skin while delivering antioxidants that fight free radical damage. Its nourishing properties make it ideal for soothing dry or irritated under-eye skin.
3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our Teliaoils Olive Oil is first-cold-pressed and rich in squalene and polyphenols, which help soften the skin, retain moisture, and prevent oxidative stress.
4. Calendula-Infused Oil
Calendula is known for its gentle, calming effect on sensitive skin. When infused into oil, it becomes an excellent under-eye treatment to reduce inflammation and improve skin texture.
How to Use Natural Oils for Under-Eye Care
- Apply a few drops of your preferred oil (or a blend) to clean skin at night.
- Gently pat the oil around the eye area using your ring finger to avoid tugging the skin.
- For a cooling effect, store your oil in the fridge and apply as part of your evening routine.
