Anti Eye Wrinkle

Have you tried the Personal Skin Evaluator on WebMD.com? Click HERE to check it out. You answer a few questions about your skin type and lifestyle, and then it generates a daytime skin care regimen, a nighttime skin care regimen, lifestyle recommendations and expert tips from the New York Dermatology Group.

When I first saw this, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean, how can an online survey determine what kind of skin care products I should use? Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The answers it gave me were true to my skin type, and they provided me with some insightful and useful tips. It even went into detail about the best ingredients for fighting eye wrinkles, such as retinoids and alpha-hydroxy-acids. Although some of the lifestyle recommendations provoke a “duh”, such as when I selected that I don’t get enough sleep and it told me to get more sleep, they are good reminders that things like sleep, stress, alcohol and eating habits all affect your skin’s health.

Of course, this survey shouldn’t be taken as professional medical advice. If you have a serious concern with your skin, you should visit a dermatologist. He or she can help you prescribe a treatment plan for your problem area and develop a routine to help you maintain healthy, youthful skin.

A reader recently commented on one of my posts saying that allergies are making her eyes red and itchy and causing excessive puffiness and eye wrinkles when she wakes up in the morning. She also said that eye wrinkle creams seem to be making the symptoms worse. If this is the case, take a good look at the ingredients list on these eye wrinkle creams. You may be having an allergic reaction to one or more of the ingredients. I would definitely suggest talking to your doctor to determine if the products are causing a reaction.

If your current eye wrinkle cream often irritates your eyes, stop using it immediately. You may want to consider a chemical-free product, such as the Juice Beauty line. These products are made of 95% certified organic ingredients without pesticides, parabens or other harmful toxins. Juice Beauty makes a great eye wrinkle cream called Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream.

It contains vitamin E and avocado oil to hydrate the eye area, green tea and cucumber oil to decrease puffy eyes, vitamin C to brighten and protect the skin, and vitamin A to stimulate cell regeneration and reduce eye wrinkles.

Another natural tip is to place cool green tea bags over your eyes. Place two tea bags in hot water, then remove the tea bags and let them cool. Once they are cool, prop your neck and shoulders up on a few pillows to allow gravity to reduce the fluid that has gathered under your eyes. Then place a tea bag on each eye lid and lie there for 5-10 minutes. This not only helps decrease eye puffiness, but it also helps sooth the eye area, making it a great homemade treatment for those with itchy allergy-prone eyes.

I’ve always been a side-sleeper. Lately I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older, my eye wrinkles are more pronounced when I first wake up in the morning. They gradually lighten a bit after I shower and prepare for my day, but I’m beginning to see that the years of sleeping on my side are etching lines into my face. Yikes!

According to the American Academy of Dermatology and WebMD, I’m not alone. The AAD cautions that sleeping in the same position every night can lead to the formation of “sleep lines,” which are lines that become etched into your skin’s surface while you sleep and don’t disappear once you’re awake.

Think about it. You know that making repetitive facial movements, like squinting and smiling, can eventually create eye wrinkles and crows feet. These sleep lines are formed the same way. When you sleep on your stomach, the skin on your forehead often gets bunched up, which can lead to forehead creases. Sleeping on your side can cause your cheeks to scrunch up toward your eyes, forming wrinkles under and around the eyes.

So what can we do? Besides investing in a good anti eye wrinkle cream, the AAD suggests sleeping on your back to reduce eye wrinkle formation. If you’re like me and tend to switch positions often while sleeping, try putting pillows on either side of you to act as bumpers. These pillows will help prop you up and keep you on your back the whole night.

Best wishes for sweet dreams and a wrinkle-free morning!
