How to Properly Treat Eye Aging

When we start to age, under-eye wrinkles (also known as crow's feet or smile lines) are often the first visible sign of aging. The reason these fine lines and wrinkles appear is because the skin loses its ability to replace the collagen and elastin proteins that keep your skin supple and smooth.The skin around the eyes is more delicate than the facial skin because it lacks the ability to create oil like the rest of the skin does, as this area is thinner and dryer. Sun-damage and facial movements such as squinting, laughing, and frowning all contribute to increasing the wrinkles in the immediate eye area of the face.
There are ways to intervene and slow down this area of aging by using the correct products daily to treat this area. Apply Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) based products daily to this specific area help stimulate, plump and exfoliate the area gently. Products containing Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic acid, peptides, and Vitamin C as the primary ingredient will help maintain the firmness of the immediate eye area. You will want to make sure this area stays hydrated by applying a serum and moisturizer, morning and night to tackle the dehydration of this area to turn back the clock and slow down the aging process .
Diet also plays a key factor in keeping the delicate skin in the eye area stimulated. Making sure you have a diet rich in Vitamin C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids with play a key role. Fill your plate up with fresh fruits, veggies, and fish because these foods contain Vitamin C, Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful.
Lastly, make sure you use these products consistently and eat correctly. If you are not consistent, you will not see consistent results.
