If you’re concerned about the effects of aging, then one concern will be to have younger looking eyes. Wrinkles, fine lines, saggy or rough textured skin and age spots (dark patches of skin) may show up on any part of your face, including the area under and around your eyes, contributing to an appearance that may make you look older than your years. In addition to aging, the area around your eyes also show signs of stress or tiredness.
So how to achieve younger looking eyes? It’s not as difficult as you might think. Here are some simple steps to incorporate into your skin care routine:
- Cleanse gently. Remove all make-up using light strokes. Don’t pull or tug and stay away from harsh cleansers, which can irritate the eye area. Choose from a range of gentle cleansers here.
- Apply a cream containing antioxidants and collagen boosters (peptides, Vitamin C, retinol) to fight free radical damage that can contribute to wrinkles and fine lines. Moisturize if you need to. Dryness exacerbates the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. View a full selection of products that lead to younger looking eyes here.
- Wear sunscreen daily – don’t forgot to apply around the eye area. Cover up with big sunglasses when outdoors.
- If you have dark circles, apply a concealer to minimize their appearance.Think about incorporating a product like Neostrata Dark Circle Serum formulated with Vitamins K and retinol and clinically shown to help.
- When it comes to make-up stick to a neutral palette. Dark colors can make you look older. Also avoid products that glitter as they can enhance the appearance of wrinkles.
