They are one of the first parts of you that get noticed when you meet people, and they are also the first parts to show the signs of stress and aging.
Eye wrinkles can be defeated, or at least put off for some time, however, by following a few basic steps.
- Get enough rest.
If you don't get enough sleep, your eyes will be one of the first parts to show this to the world.
Not only will your eyes be red and bleary, but underneath the eyes could become puffy and damaged, leading to a greater risk of eye wrinkles over time.
To help fight this, sleep well, sleep often, and sleep on your back. - Stay hydrated, inside and out.
Not taking in enough water is one of the top culprits of undereye wrinkles.
Be sure to drink six to eight cups per day to give your skin the ability to bounce back from stress. - Eat your fruits and vegetables.
Loaded with free radical fighting antioxidants, healing vitamins, and a natural source of water, fruits and vegetables are the best thing that you can feed your skin.
Some, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, are mostly composed of water, which is an easy way to fulfill your daily quota of hydration if you find drinking water too tedious.
The age-old trick of putting cucumbers on your eyes really works when fighting undereye wrinkles, as well. - Minimize damage to your skin.
Be careful when you are rubbing your eyes, and always be gently in your cleansing routine to this area, because the skin underneath the eyes is more fragile and prone to wrinkles and damage than any other part of your face.
Unfortunately this is also one of the first areas to get eye wrinkles, if you are not careful.
However, the natural effects of time and the aging process are hard to beat without help, which is why it's also important to find a cream or moisturizing product that is specially formulated to fight undereye wrinkles.
Look for blends that increase collagen and elastin, and contain antioxidants for the best results.
