Youthful skin, including the eye area, is something everyone desire. But what can you do to keep your eyes looking great? Here are some tips to help keep your eyes looking bright and beautiful.
Unlike other areas of the face, the skin around the eyes lacks sweat glands. As a result, dryness can occur more readily, causing the skin to look tired and fragile. Moisturizers, made specifically for the eye area, can improve the look of the skin around the eyes significantly. Facial moisturizers can be used but may cause irritation to the skin in that area, as these moisturizers are not formulated to treat the delicate skin around the eyes. Adequate fluid intake is also key to keeping the skin around the eyes looking refreshed. If there is a tendency for puffiness around the eyes with hydration, avoiding salt intake may help. And of course, sun protection is important. It is easy to forget to apply sun block to the skin under the eyes. Sunglasses and hats also help to minimize exposure to this area. In addition, to keep the skin firm, peptides are recommended. Peptides are proteins that help keep the skin youthful. Collagen is the protein in our skin that minimizes wrinkles and keeps the skin looking smooth. Over time collagen breaks down but is not replaced. Peptides signal the skin to produce new collagen, reversing this process.
The process of aging is a dynamic complex. While there are many options to slowing down this process, it can be difficult to decide what treatment options best suite your needs.
