How to Keep Your Eyes Looking Youthful and Bright

No matter what anti aging skin treatment program you use, one area of your face you’ll want to be sure to address is the area around your eyes. Crow’s feet, dark circles, bags under your eyes and the overall appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can manifest around your eyes faster and more prominently than anywhere else on your face. Not only does the skin around your eyes not produce its own moisture in the same way that the skin on the rest of your face does, the skin is also thinner and much more sensitive than in other areas. While there are many great anti aging and anti wrinkle products to help minimize the signs of aging around your eyes, often the best defense against aging is a preventive one. Here are some tips for keeping your eyes looking youthful and bright from the skin care experts at Murad.

Youthful Eye Tip: Wear Sunglasses
Repetitive motions on your face can cause the advancement of lines and wrinkles. That includes squinting, which many of us do when we’re outside in the sun. That doesn’t just mean at the beach or during outdoor activities. Even your morning drive or walk to work can induce repetitive squinting if it’s sunny out. Take the time to put on sunglasses whenever you’re headed outdoors. You’ll reduce the amount of time you spend squinting and, as a result, you’ll reduce the development of crow’s feet around your eyes. You’ll also have an excuse for donning a great fashion accessory!

Youthful Eye Tip: Use an Under Eye Cream with UV Protection
Chances are you’re pretty responsible about putting on a daily moisturizer that includes UV and sun protection, but most likely you don’t apply this facial moisturizer to your eyes. However, there are a variety of eye creams available that include not only sun protection but also overall protection from environmental damage and environmental aging. Murad’s Essential-C Eye Cream SPF 15 │ PA++ not only includes an SPF but also infuses the skin around your eyes with antioxidants to battle free radicals caused by sun and environmental exposure. Protect your eyes from the aging and damaging impact of sun and the environment by making sure the skin around your eyes is hydrated with an eye cream that includes an SPF.

Youthful Eye Tip: Relax Your Face
As noted above, repetitive facial actions can result in the advancement of fine lines and wrinkles. Pay attention to how many times during the day you catch yourself frowning or crinkling your face due to stress. Every time you do, make a conscious effort to relax your face. If you continue this practice, you’ll reduce the amount of time you spend with your face crinkled in a way that may cause or enhance eye wrinkles, and you’ll also look more pleasant and approachable throughout the day.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Of course, the key to youthful-looking skin on any part of your face or body is proper hydration! Be sure to not only use an eye cream but also to eat and drink an ample amount of water throughout the day.

Younger-looking eyes can go a long way towards giving you an overall youthful appearance. Follow the tips above along with a healthy lifestyle, and your eyes will never give away your age!
