What to Avoid When Dealing with Your Eyes

                You may have heard this before but I am going to say this once again, the skin underneath your eyes is probably one of the most sensitive areas on our bodies. This is due to the fact that the skin is a lot thinner than other areas and contains a ton of teeny tiny blood vessels that work very hard to push blood cells through to the places they have to go. Because of all this action and not a lot of protection regarding the eye area, we need to know what we can do to avoid hurting the skin and give it the proper protection it needs.

                One thing we have to avoid while dealing with the skin is the fact of the suns influence over our skin. Sun damage is the number one reason for wrinkles and lines on the face as well as spots and discoloration. Regarding the eyes, the fact of us having to squint when the sun is in our eyes and just the fact that UV damage destroys skin cells, there is double trouble for our eyes. What are known as crow’s feet seem to be the most prominent wrinkles that a person can get. So how do we avoid the sun and its double trouble power on our face? Sun glasses, sun screen, and a good eye gel of cream. Starting at an early age we should all wear sun glasses and sun screen so that these signs of aging do not show up as fast. For those of us who are already seeing the development, it is time to get an eye gel or eye cream to treat your eye wrinkles. Ingredients like Matrixyl  or Sesaflash can help in the curing of your wrinkles. Matrixyl does this by going in deep and curing wrinkles from the inside out, while Sesaflash lifts out the wrinkles on the outside.

                Another thing to avoid is scrubbing your face to hard. This is actually in regards to your whole face, but your eyes  should be a focal point. Due to the above statement of your eye skin area being very sensitive, scrubbing or rubbing will make your eyes red and sore.  Actually one of the biggest mistakes a lot of people make when applying eye gels or creams is that they rub the medication on to the area that needs help when all that is needed is a little bit. This causes  the eye gel or cream you are using to not as affectively work as it would. Remember to read the directions on your bottle and follow them properly and please do not rub anything into the skin under your eyes for fear of further irritation.

                Diet and habit also makes a huge difference in our eye skin.  Smoking , drinking, and eating bad foods will produce more toxins in your body than necessary causing the puffiness and under eye bags that we all complain about. So if you smoke, stop now and save your body and skin the extra torture. If you are a heavy drinker, cut back and a difference will be noticed. Also eating good food will not only make your skin look great but it will also make you feel better as a whole.

                Eye gels, eye creams, sun screen, sun glasses, a good diet and good habits will all be a drive in the right direction for curing your issues regarding your eyes and the rest of your body as well. It may seem like a lot of work but in the end it is very worth it. No more “you look tired comments”, just beautiful skin that people will not be able to stop looking at. Now doesn’t that sound nice.
