Skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin anywhere on your body. As such, it is the first place to show signs of aging. But not to worry- we are here to share with you a few professional tips to help you conceal the evidence, depending on which particular eye skin problem you are currently facing!
1) CROW’S FEET
To smooth out those lines caused by smiling, squinting, and sun exposure use a product with Vitamin C during the day, such as Vital C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel and an eye creme with Retinol at night time, like the Ageless Total Eye Lift Creme.Both products will spur the production of collagen, the protein that helps maintain skin’s elasticity. If you’re looking for a quick fix, however, you can always try Dysport injections, which will paralyze the muscles in that area and therefore make wrinkles less visible. Note, however, that if you go the injections route, you’ll need them about every 6 to 9 months. If you’d like more information on Dysport, head on over to our website .
2) DARK CIRCLES
As you begin to lose fat and volume in the skin under your eyes, the blood vessels underneath become more obvious, thereby leading to those dreaded dark circles. To minimize dark circles, you can use the same products as those to minimize crow’s feet since collagen will thicken the skin. A great eye cream to brighten and lighten that area of the eyes naturally is the Iluma Brightening Eye Creme.
3) PUFFY EYES
Those telltale pillows beneath yours eyes appear as the muscles under your eyes weaken, thereby becoming less efficient at pumping out fluid. In addition to the natural aging process, a few too many cocktails and late nights can also lead to puffy eyes. There aren’t many permanent product solutions for puffy eyes, but for a quick fix you can try steeping a few black tea bags, cooling them in the fridge, and then placing them under your eyes for 10-15 minutes. You can also try a lifting eye concoction like the Ormedic Balancing Eye Lift Gel for an immediate lifting effect. Getting adequate sleep and/or sleeping propped up to discourage fluid from pooling under your eyes at night can also help discourage the puffiness.
4) SAGGING EYE
Also called dermatochalasis, this condition is marked by excessive skin on the eyelids and is simply a sign of aging and it’s not harmful. However, if it bothers you, you could have a blepharoplasty to tighten the muscles and remove the extra skin from your eyelids. But note that the average surgeon’s fee is around $2,800 and thats not including anesthesia and operating room costs.
