4 Tips to Younger Looking Eyes

The first outward sign of aging appears around the eye area.  Fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet taking up residence in the fragile skin beneath and around your eyes will scream your age louder than a number candle on a birthday cake.

You no longer have to accept this with a philosophical shrug, caulking it up to a natural part of aging. Now you can fight back with these 4 tips to keep your eyes looking younger, vibrant and healthy.

1. Never, ever tug or pull the fragile skin beneath and around your eyes. Doing so will cause new fine lines and wrinkles to form.  Use your index finger, gently tap moisturizer or sunscreen to the eye area.

2. In the morning apply a vitamin E cream to you the delicate area around and beneath your eye. Follow with a sunscreen with an SPF of 20 or higher. This helps to skin thickness and elasticity.

3. The fragile, delicate skin of your eye area needs to be keeping hydrated, to help prevent the formation of fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet.  Buy moisturizer that specific targets the eye area, preferably vitamin C, E or CoQ10.  Many are sold in small tubes or tubs that make it easy to carry in your pocket or purse. Apply 2-3 times a day.

4. Wear sunglasses year around any time you are out doors and in the car. This helps to keep you from squinting and helps to prevent the formation of crow's feet.
