The skin around your eyes is the first place to notice unwanted signs of ageing. The eye area is very sensitive and delicate, and the skin is much thinner than any other part of the face. Looking after your eyes and the skin around them is essential for a younger looking appearance.

Your eyes are the main feature of your face, and they take their fair share of harsh treatment. The everyday application of eye shadow, mascara and eye liner without realising it can all take their toll.
Everyday repetitive daily expressions and movement can also cause the eyes to develop fine lines and wrinkles, and environmental pollutants can damage the skin. Therefore, it’s important to protect and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes.

Here are 7 top tips to help reduce the visible signs of aging eyes:

• Use cotton wool or a soft cloth along with a gentle cleanser designed to remove eye make-up.
• Use a nourishing anti aging eye gel or serum. These will hydrate the skin and make the lines appear softer.
• Look for ingredients such as vitamin C, peptides and hyaluronic acid which will help brighten the skin and reduce dark circles and puffy eyes.
• Use an anti-ageing eye cream containing SPF during the day.
• Try to avoid using waterproof mascara, it is a lot tougher to remove and you're more likely to pull the skin around your eyes more harshly.
• Use a very light concealer and apply sparingly. Pat concealer around the eye area using your ring finger which is the weakest, this avoids dragging the delicate tissue.
• Wear UV sunglasses for eye protection. Wearing sunglasses also relaxes the eyes which helps avoid lines.
