Top Tips for Younger Looking Eyes

When it comes to looking younger, the eyes have it! Keep your peepers peeled for these anti-aging secrets.

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.

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.

Sleep allows the body to renew and refresh cells. Not getting enough rest will present itself as puffiness or shadows under the eyes.

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.

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.

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.

One simple trick to more youthful eyes involves applying white eyeliner to the inner corners of the eyes to instantly brighten them.

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.

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.

Thick, full lashes give the eyes a younger looking appearance and make you look wide awake on those weary days.

When removing your eye makeup, remember that the skin around the peepers is very delicate so dab instead of rubbing it off.
