Caring for the eye area has got to be one of the most
asked about subject in skin care today. Puffiness, dark
circles and wrinkles top the list in eye area questions.
Here are some natural cures and treatments to give you
prettier eyes.
- Puffiness - Under
eye puffiness can be cause by a variety of reasons,
diet, allergies, or extra fluid in you system.
To treat morning puffiness, follow these simple
steps:
- Splash your
face with very cold water
- With a very
light touch, tap gently around your eyes to
encourage fluid to move away from the eye
area.
- Place a cold
compress, such as cucumber slices or potato
slices over your eyes and relax for 15 or
20 minutes.
- Dark Circles -
The skin under the eyes is so thin that in some
people the blood passing through the tiny veins
near the surface shows through, giving the area
a bluish or grayish cast or dark circles. Heredity,
fatigue, and illness can all make under eye circles
more pronounced. Getting plenty of rest and cosmetic
camouflage are your two best treatments for dark
circles. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep
each night if possible.
- Crow's Feet and
Wrinkles - Prevention is the name of the game
in avoiding premature wrinkling around the eye
area. Wear proper sun protection when ever outside
and avoid unnecessary stretching of the skin around
your eyes. Use light moisturizing eye area treatments
to keep the thin skin around the hydrated.
