As promised, here is a video on how to use eye makeup to minimize eye wrinkles and make your eyes look younger. Remember to start off with a good anti eye wrinkle cream as a base, apply your concealer as instructed in yesterday’s video post, and then apply your eye makeup. Check out the tips on how to make your lips appear younger as well.
Have a fun, safe and youthful New Year!
Look your best on your big night out!
Since New Year’s Eve is tomorrow night, I decided to post a couple videos on how to use makeup to camouflage eye wrinkles and other fine lines. Before applying makeup as demonstrated in this video, be sure to wash your face thoroughly, apply a good moisturizer and a thin layer of anti eye wrinkle cream, and let it dry for a minute. This first video will show you how to use concealer and translucent powder to make your face look fresher and younger.
Check back again tomorrow for part 2: how to use eye makeup to minimize eye wrinkles.
You can prevent eye wrinkles by using a high-quality anti eye wrinkle cream on a daily basis, always wearing sunscreen and wearing sun glasses regularly. This video also advises not sleeping on your face at night because it scrunches the skin and breaks down collagen and elastin. While this is recommended, it is understandably not always possible, since most people unknowingly switch sleeping positions frequently throughout the night. This video does a good job of demonstrating the proper way to apply anti eye wrinkle cream without damaging the thin, fragile skin around the eye.
In addition to using a great anti eye wrinkle cream, it is vitally important to care for your skin from the inside out. I just read a fascinating article on how your diet can affect how young you look. It explains how free radicals are created in the body and that an overabundance, caused by factors such as excessive sun exposure, pollution, smoking and stress, can damage the skin and cause wrinkles. Foods containing antioxidant vitamins A, C and E and the minerals zinc and selenium help to protect the skin by reducing the amount of free radicals produced in your body. Such foods include most vegetables, low-fat milk, nuts, fish, olive oil and multigrain breads. It has also been proven that consuming a diet rich in these vitamins and minerals, as well as foods containing carotenoids such as carrots, apricots and spinach, can help provide protection against the sun’s harmful, wrinkle-causing UV rays.
For the best anti aging results possible, protect your skin on inside and the outside with effective anti eye wrinkle creams combined with a proper diet.
I read in a recent consumer confidence poll that 55% of women have cut spending on skin care purchases. There’s no doubt that the slow economy will deter women from spending big bucks on lavish anti aging lotions and costly anti eye wrinkle creams. Caring for aging skin and reducing the appearance of eye wrinkles is difficult enough as it is, but how do you do it on a budget?
Take Free Advice
The Internet is full of free, useful information, so why not take advantage of it? For example, I found a free email series at www.eyeskincaresecrets.com that has great tips on diminishing eye wrinkles and maintaining youthful-looking eyes.
Consider Consolidating
Contrary to what you see in pharmacy aisles and television ads, you don’t need an entire skin care line consisting of 15 different products to care for and protect your skin. Consolidate! Invest in three good quality products: a great anti eye wrinkle cream, a gentle facial soap that is effective for removing makeup, and a moisturizer that contains an SPF of at least 15. Look for products with antioxidants, which improve the skin’s collagen and strengthen elasticity.
Raid Your Pantry
There are plenty of home remedies using food and other natural ingredients that claim to reduce eye wrinkles. Although I’ve heard that some may have good results temporarily, I’m not too eager to rub bananas all over my face or honey on my eyelids, so I haven’t tried many of them personally. However, I have tried using tea bags over my eyes, and I was pleasantly surprised at the results. Not only were my eye wrinkles less noticeable, the puffiness under my eyes had gone down as well.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
In addition to moisturizing your skin, nourish it from the inside out by drinking plenty of water. It’s amazing how much drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day can improve your skin and make it appear smoother, fresher and younger.
So, as it turns out, it IS possible to get and maintain younger-looking skin and wrinkle-free eyes on a budget. And, it’s not as difficult as we thought!
Getting older has its perks. Once a woman reaches a certain age of maturity she qualifies for reduced prices when it comes to cups of coffee, theater tickets and even a bus pass. However there are other less enjoyable things that come with age. One of those is wrinkles. Almost every woman starts thinking about an anti eye wrinkle cream even before she reaches middle age.
The skin on the face is largely the most sensitive. Things like sun tanning, smoking and even make-up can have a negative impact on the way a woman looks. All of these factors can eventually contribute to eye wrinkles, so finding an effective anti eye wrinkle cream can be likened to finding the fountain of youth. The right cream can actually take years off the way a woman looks.
Infomercials have become all the rage in the past decade or so. Staying up late one evening will have you privy to ads for everything from cooking grills to anti eye wrinkle cream. In the case of the latter, you’ll be bombarded with before and after images of women who have used the anti eye wrinkle cream and gotten great results. You may be skeptical of all the promises being made, and you’d be wise in not rushing off to the phone to call the toll-free number and give out your credit card.
The majority of these creams, whether purchased from a television ad, a drug store or a high end skin care boutique are largely all the same. The goal of any anti eye wrinkle cream is to diminish the appearance of the small lines that develop around the eyes. To do this the anti eye wrinkle cream must possess some substance that makes it moisturizing. The more moisturizing one of these cosmetic creams is, the better the results will be.
If you are unsure of which is best for you, consider your skin type. For a woman with very dry skin, she’s going to want to purchase and use an anti eye wrinkle cream that contains the optimum amount of moisturizers. For a woman who struggles with oily skin, she’s more apt to choose an anti eye wrinkle cream that is made just for oily skin. She will want to avoid any products that contain alcohol, which will over-dry the skin and lead to wrinkles. For a woman with combination skin, she will want to use an anti eye wrinkle cream that gives her a boost of moisturizing nourishment to the eye area.
In any case, taking good care of facial skin is vitally important when it comes to delaying the signs of aging. Even if a woman is already noticing some small eye wrinkles or frown lines, there’s a lot she can do to prevent further visible aging. Using a sunscreen under make-up every day, exercising and eating a healthy diet will all contribute to a younger, fresher look.
Anti eye wrinkle skin care isn’t just for women, though advertisements would have you think otherwise. Recent studies have shown that three in five men are just as concerned about their appearance in terms of the signs of aging as women. But even with this information, it can be hard to find reliable anti eye wrinkle products and advice for men. And it can be even harder for some men to use it.
Protecting what you already have:
Eye wrinkles might look distinguished on some men, but others don’t want these obvious signs of their age. To help prevent these lines, men need to consider applying a sunscreen with an ample protection factor. While the more than 65 000 new cases of skin cancer each year in the UK should be enough to coax anyone into wearing sunscreen, the fact of the matter is that it’s also a crucial step towards anti aging skin care. The sun inflicts compounding damage, meaning that each time you step into the sun without protection; you’re damaging your skin more. Here are some ways to start adding protection to your daily routine:
After washing your face in the morning, add a thin layer of sunscreen to your face and neck as well as the backs of your hands and any other exposed skin. Reapply this sunscreen as the day goes on. If you should get your face or hands wet or sweaty, you will want to apply more sunscreen.
Correcting sun damage once you’ve gotten burned:
What’s interesting about anti aging skin care is that many people believe that all hope is lost once they do have a sunburn, so they stop putting on protection, thinking all is lost. However, this is not the case. Studies have shown that skin can repair itself if you act quickly after a sunburn and try to protect yourself from future occurrences.
When you have a sunburn, begin by applying ice to the affected area, just as you would with a ‘real’ burn. Begin to take a daily supplement of Vitamin E, one capsule a day is fine, as long as your general practitioner hasn’t told you not to. Apply a lotion or cream to the area that contains hyaluronic acid. This is conducive to healing and repair of the skin cells.
Making sure it’s not more than a wrinkle:
For many men, their jobs can expose them to more sunlight and sun exposure. While it might be worrisome in terms of eye wrinkles, it can also present the possibility of more serious conditions, like skin cancer. In the UK, melanoma is now the third leading cause of death in patients aged 15 to thirty five. While you might think that ‘age spot’ is just a sign of your years, it might also be something that’s pointing out a more serious issue.
Signs that might point out something more than skin care issue:
The easiest way to tell if your growth is an age spot or a cancerous tumour is to check with your general practitioner. If the growth looks benign, they may wish to observe it over time to note any changes.
Dealing with the eye wrinkles you do have:
There are a number of ways that men can incorporate anti eye wrinkle skin care into their daily routine. After shaving, men can apply their traditional favored cream, but also follow that with a moisturiser that contains any number of anti aging ingredients or botanicals. Natural oils and emollients can lessen the appearance of finer lines, but deeper set lines will require more concentrated gels and creams - these may contain collagen boosters as well as antioxidants.
For men, anti eye wrinkle care can also extend into more complicated procedures, involving the plastic surgery field:
Of course, there are other anti eye wrinkle skin care procedures that can also be scheduled:
Anti eye wrinkle skin care isn’t just for women anymore. From making simple changes in their daily skin care routine to more complex plastic surgery procedures, more men than ever are seeking out their own route to a more youthful look.
