Anti-Aging Eyecare For All Ages

They say the eyes are the doorway to your soul. So what does it say about your soul if your eyes are all puffy and full of lines? Well, since all skin is not created equally – especially around the eyes – it’s important to take special care of them and the skin surrounding them.

The skin around your eyes is thin, it’s true. It also has virtually no sebaceous glands, is stressed by frequent eye movement, has minimal fat padding and overlies a particularly dense capillary network. This adds up to an area prone to puffiness, dryness, and a knack for being the first one to show signs of aging.

I know, I know. When you’re twenty-five, aging is the last thing on your mind. But things like fine lines, bags and crow’s feet can come in as early as thirty-five. Which means? You have to start early. Preventative treatment at twenty-five is a great way to go. There are effective products out there that dramatically diminish the appearance of fine lines, puffiness and other eye area challenges. So, depending on your age, what should you use?

Let’s recap, ladies. To help prevent and repair the signs of aging around the delicate eye area, eye creams and lotions are essential to any skincare regimen and should be used daily. For any adult, it’s never too soon to start using an eye treatment. And one last tip? Save those dollars. Less is more when using eye creams and lotions. Go sparingly and you’ll still see amazing results. Pair them with your facial and all eyes will be on you – in a good way.
