The secret of beautiful eyes investigated

The expression of the eyes determines the impression of someone’s face. For the appearance, many skin characteristics play a role. Low skin density, weak hydrolipid film, lack of drainage function and strong muscular stress are the main factors.

The facial area around the eyes consists of upper and lower eyelid. Between both lids is the palpebral fissure. The skin of the eyelids and around the eyes is different compared to facial or body skin. It is thinner, more sensitive and can dry out easily. 

The muscles around the eyes regularly open and close the eyelid. This blinking protects and moistens the eye. In addition, these muscles are responsible for mimic and expression of the eye region. All eye muscles are surrounded by connective tissue with different structure. Part of this surrounding tissue consists of collagen and elastic fibres, which form only a delicate connective tissue sheath. 

In this part of the face, there are only few sebaceous and sweat glands resulting in a weak hydrolipid film. The lack of drainage function can lead to puffiness and bags under the eyes. This swelling recedes when the tissue fluid is removed via the lymphatic and blood streams.
