When it comes to looking younger, the eyes have it! Keep your peepers peeled for these anti-aging secrets.
Tea Party
Placing cold green tea bags over the eyes and relaxing for 15 minutes will allow the caffeine in the tea to shrink dark blood vessels and drain some of the liquid that makes for eye puffiness.
Chill Out
Placing an ice pack, frozen bag of veggies, chilled cucumber slices, refrigerated spoons or anything cold around the eyes lessens inflammation and swelling by reducing blood flow.
Rest Up
Sleep allows the body to renew and refresh cells. Not getting enough rest will present itself as puffiness or shadows under the eyes.
Conceal It
As we grow older, the delicate skin around our eyes becomes thinner and prone to fine lines and wrinkles but a good concealer can hide those blood vessels beneath the skin that cause the appearance of dark circles.
Got Milk?
The skin-soothing fats and lactic acid in moo juice helps to slash eye puffiness and darkness. Soak cotton balls in cold milk and place on the eyes for a few minutes.
Cream Them
Using a moisturizing cream will help you erase those unsightly wrinkles and crow’s feet around the eyes. Be sure to use an eye cream with SPF to protect the skin from the sun by day and collagen-boosting retinol at night as UV rays can break down the magic ingredient.
Draw a Line
One simple trick to more youthful eyes involves applying white eyeliner to the inner corners of the eyes to instantly brighten them.
Eat Right
An easy and tasty way to boost antiaging and sharp vision is to add to your diet leafy greens, berries, salmon, and orange veggies like carrots and peppers. Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A, beta-carotene and other nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties — and they can be eaten or applied over the eyes like cucumber slices.
Be Shady
Never leave home without sunglasses with UV400 protection that shields the eyes from damage and the skin around the peepers from premature aging. Remember UV rays can penetrate cloud cover so don’t relax just because it’s not a sunny day.
Use Mascara
Thick, full lashes give the eyes a younger looking appearance and make you look wide awake on those weary days.
Be Gentle
When removing your eye makeup, remember that the skin around the peepers is very delicate so dab instead of rubbing it off.
