You may already have your eyes on all sorts of products that promise to prevent or reduce wrinkles. But your sunglasses, both with and without prescription, are actually the best remedy for wrinkles around the eyes.

Face it!
Every time you are outdoors, you expose not only your skin but also your eyes to harmful UV rays. The sun's UV rays are invisible, but they are everywhere. Water, snow, sand, and concrete all reflect sunlight, and even if you try to hide under a parasol or hat, the sun still has its eyes on you.
Sunglasses = the world's best anti-aging product
Because the sun doesn't feel as harsh in Nordic latitudes as it does further south, many people ignore sunscreen and sunglasses – but the sun is just as harsh here, and no anti-aging products will have any significant visible effect on the skin around your eyes if you don't protect it with both sunscreen and sunglasses. Too much sun dries out the thin and therefore extra sensitive skin around the eyes, and too much time in the sun without sunglasses makes you squint in the bright light. The first thing you'll notice are probably the infamous 'crow's feet' around your eyes, and they may not be that bad. But these are what eventually turn into deeper and deeper wrinkles. So always remember your sunglasses – regardless of the season!
Which sunglasses offer the best protection?
At OjeOje, you can get sunglasses both with and without prescription, and they ALL come with 100% UV protection, making them the best anti-aging care you can give yourself! The larger your sunglasses are, the better they protect the delicate skin around your eyes – simply because they cover more of the thin and fragile skin. See our large prescription sunglasses
Why should I wear sunglasses?
Your sunglasses should be at the forefront of your beauty shelf – next to sunscreen, but in front of wrinkle cream, for 2 important reasons:
1. First and foremost, because the dark lenses in sunglasses prevent you from constantly squinting because the sun is so bright. This prevents the wrinkles that come from constantly tensing your skin.
2. But sunglasses with UVA protection also prevent cell damage, which you will eventually notice as 'crow's feet', wrinkles, i.e., fine and coarse lines around the eyes.
Your sunglasses should stand out
If you already wear reading glasses or prescription glasses, you can advantageously choose prescription sunglasses so you can see just as sharply on even the sunniest days as you normally do. But the perfect pair of sunglasses can do more than protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays. They can be used as an accessory, similar to jewelry or bags – and precisely because you don't wear them all the time, you can dial up the fashion and seize the opportunity to make everyone's eyes pop when you walk in.
So use your sunglasses to prevent wrinkles, but also to adjust your style and your view of the world – and, of course, how others view you.
