Your Eyes Have It

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail


Your eyes demand attention whenever you are talking to someone or even glancing
in their direction. They are an important feature of your face and the skin
around the eyes can bring the eyes to healthy life or contribute to a dull,
lifeless look.


Naturally as you age the skin surrounding the eyes develops fine lines and
deeper wrinkles. This is because the delicate skin around the eyes is very
different to the rest of the skin on your face. It is much thinner and in
fact has very few oil glands which can keep it naturally moisturized. This
means its dries out faster and being thin, if not treated gently can stretch
and tear, causing bags and sagging.

For this reason is it important to treat the eye area gently and don't wipe
or rub the eyes harshly, instead just patting the area without pulling is
recommended.


Puffiness around the eyes is common on waking but can remain throughout the
day for a variety of reasons including tiredness, smoking, drinking alcohol,
diet and even hormonal changes. If you do have a problem with puffy eyes try
elevating your head slightly at night on a higher pillow and drinking plenty
of water throughout the day to cleanse out your blood system. One cause of
puffiness can be as simple as the cream you are using. Eyes are naturally
sensitive and will water continuously to cleanse them of impurities. When
using creams around the eye area make sure you don't apply them too closely
to the eye and seek out natural skin care creams without harsh chemicals and
additives.


The cream will creep about 1 centimeter by itself so just apply creams on
the bone below the eye area. The cream will make its way further on the skin
but not into the eyes themselves. When applying eye cream place a little of
the cream onto your ring finger and gently pat the cream around the eye and
dab gently to absorb, do not rub. You only need to apply a tiny amount of
cream around the eye to bring satisfactory results in fact too much cream
can irritate and cause the puffiness you are trying to avoid.
