Many people want to start taking care of their skin when they start to notice the problems.
Such as, blackheads, wrinkles, dark circles, acne, etc.
Preventing those things before they appear will be the smart thing to do.
When you try to take care of an existing problem on your skin, it will take longer to fix or minimize.
Heredity plays a big part.
I use this as an example...
If you know that your mother or father had dark circles, then you need to make sure you use eye cream that will help to keep dark circles away.
Take vitamins and eat a well balanced diet.
The skin under the eyes are very thin, so the veins can show underneath the eyes.
Your eyes can get puffy if you do not sleep enough, heredity, health, poor blood circulation, nutrition and allergies.
Elevating your legs and head on a pillow also helps the circulation process.
when applying the eye cream and handling your eyes, make sure you are using your pinky or ring finger to apply creams.
Why? Those two fingers are the lightest fingers and it won't stretch your eye.
Gravity takes place fast in that area.
Remember, that area is thinner than the other parts of your face.
Be gentle.
Make-up can help the vein problem: If you have veins that show under the eye area it is because that area is thin.
What can you do? Apply a pink or yellow perfector/concealer.
See which one works the best in minimizing those veins.
Blend it.
Be gentle.
Then apply a concealer that is your skin shade or a foundation and finish it off with a mineral translusent power.
Make sure you cleanse, tone, moisturize, exfoliate, use an eye cream, use a facial mask at least once a week, eat healthy and drink plenty of water(8 glasses a day).
Make sure all of your facial products are for your skin type.
Their are eye creams for puffiness,dark circles, sensitive skin,wrinkles and firming.
If you do not have any of those eye problems, then just buy an eye cream for normal skin so that it can just hydrate that area.
Moisturizer will not absorb on the eye area,only the eye cream.
Don't forget to moisturize around your lips and using chap stick will help you not have wrinkled dry lips.
Apply chap stick on lips at night before bed.
I've been doing that for years.
Home remedies such as, tea bags under the eyes do work.
Make sure the tea bags are cool before applying under your eyes.
You can refrigerate the tea bags after you put it inside water.
Leave on eyes for 15 minutes.
The caffeine in the tea gets under your skin and this minimizes puffiness.
Egg Whites on your skin for 15 minutes then rinse off helps make skin firmer and less sagging.
More tips: Put the eye cream inside the refrigerator and use with your morning skin regimen and your nightly skin regimen.
The coolness will help with those that have puffy eyes.
Stay away from steam showers.
The steam can inflame the puffiness and it can become worst.
If your over 20 and you have not used an eye cream or if you have not had a consistent skin regimen,please start as soon as possible.
Don't forget your sun screen.
Some moisturizers and eye creams have sunscreen.
read labels.
The sun has an aging effect on the skin and on tattoos.
You feel better about yourself when everything is taken care of and your looking and feeling good.
It may sound like a lot to do, but your worth staying younger and healthy looking!
