Your Amazing Eyes

By Richard Horowitz


Your eyes demand attention whenever you are talking to someone or even glancing in their direction. Your eyes are a very important part of your face, and the skin around your eyes can affect how they look immensely.

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. The skin is quite thin and doesn't have much oil glands, which moisturize the skin naturally. So it would dry out faster, and will stretch and tear if not treated gently because of its thinness, and so would lead to 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 normal upon waking, but it can also be caused by fatigue, smoking, alcohol, the diet, and also hormonal changes. You can prevent puffy eyes by sleeping on a slightly higher pillow at night and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Puffiness can also be caused by creams that you use. 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 can spread about a centimetre by itself, so it's best to apply the cream to the bone below the eye. The cream may spread over, but it won't get into your eyes. 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. A mall amount of cream will be enough for the effects that you want; beware of using too much since this can lead to puffiness and irritation.
