SYDNEY - eTradeWire -- What Causes Droopy Eyelids and How to Address Them?

'What causes droopy eyelids?' is a top-trending topic on Google Trends (up by a staggering 5,000%), so we tapped Britain Todd, Founder of Contours Rx, for her expert insights on the subject.

"Understanding factors contributing to droopy eyelids, we can help manage and prevent the condition effectively," says Britain.

Causes of Droopy Eyelids
"Droopy eyelids primarily result from the natural aging process which weakens the skin and muscles around the eyes. This weakening is largely due to a decline in collagen and elastin, essential proteins that maintain skin firmness, coupled with the deterioration of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, responsible for lifting the eyelid. Additionally, genetic factors can predispose individuals to ptosis if it is prevalent in their family. Various medical conditions, including Horner's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and nerve damage, can also contribute to this condition. Furthermore, lifestyle factors such as excessive sun exposure, smoking, and inadequate sleep can accelerate skin and muscle aging around the eyes, exacerbating the droopiness."

Preventing and Addressing Droopy Eyelids
While some causes are unavoidable, some preventive measures and exercises can help manage and potentially delay the onset of droopy eyelids, says Britain:

"Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants helps to support skin health. Always avoid smoking and excessive sun exposure, and ensure you're getting sufficient sleep. In addition to this, regular eye exercises can help strengthen the muscles around your eyes. Here are a few exercises to consider":

• Eyebrow Lift: Place your fingers just above your eyebrows and gently push down while lifting your eyebrows. Hold for a few seconds and then relax. Repeat 10 times. This exercise helps strengthen the muscles that support the eyelids.
• Eye Squeeze: Close your eyes tightly and then open them wide. Repeat this 10-15 times. This exercise can help improve muscle tone and reduce sagging.
• Blinking Exercise: Blink rapidly for 30 seconds, then close your eyes and relax for 30 seconds. This exercise can help keep the eyelid muscles active and engaged.
• Eye Rolling: Look up and roll your eyes in a circular motion. Repeat this in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This exercise can help with muscle flexibility and strength.

"For those seeking a non-surgical approach to address drooping eyelids like myself, I developed Lids by Design as an innovative solution to offer both aesthetic and practical benefits without the need for surgery."
