Fine Lines & Wrinkles Around the Eyes

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest anywhere on the body. It is more sensitive and prone to dryness since the eye area has fewer oil glands than the rest of the face. What all this means is - the eye area is often the first to show those fine lines we all dread. The lines that start to age us.

Eye creams of the past were little more than extra rich moisturizers which could help with the dryness but not much else. The eye creams of today are technologically advanced based on research and clinical trials. The active ingredients go past just adding moisture; they actually improve the fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, the right ingredients used early, before lines start can even prevent lines from forming.  So, a good eye cream is a crucial skin care product every girl and guy should own in addition to sunscreen.

Now that we have touted the greatness of the new eye creams, the first solution to fine lines around the eyes we are going to give you is to avoid squinting are much as possible. Excessive squinting will bring on crow’s feet much faster than you will like, so wear sunglasses when outside and always use sunscreen.

The next solution is to look for eye area skin care products with the right active ingredients. Finding products with proven active ingredients is key to finding a solution for lines around your eyes.

The active ingredients to look for are:

• Any Peptides – use to thicken skin & boost collagen production which lessenes wrinkles
• Retinol – to correct sun damage
• Vitamin C – to lighten skin, boost collagen and fight free radicals
• Ubiquinone (CoQ10) - to improve sun damage and improve lines
• Kinetin (N6-Furfurladenine) – to improve moisture content into the deeper skin layers and lessen environmental damage
• Hyaluronic Acid – to improve moisture content into the deeper skin layers
• Green Tea Extract – lessen sun damage and fight free radicals

The best tip we can give you to help with the eye area as well as all of your face is - consistancy. When you find the right product for your skin, then make sure to use it everyday. When products are clinically tested and shown to have results; the study participants have used the products consistantly. To see results, you must give the product time to work and use it every day- 30 to 45 days of consistant use.
