Prevent those Dreaded Crows Feet & Dark Circles

Dear Janice,

What advice can you give me about caring for the skin around my eyes? Is it possible to stop wrinkles in the eye area with the proper care?

Repeatedly rubbing your eyes may cause irritation to the delicate under-eye area. Resist the urge to rub the eyes. When you continually rub any area of the skin, it can turn darker and thicker --especially under the eyes where the skin is more delicate and filed with rupture-prone capillaries. Several things happen when you rub the eyes... increased blood flow, swelling, and other responses encourage the skin to protect itself against further insult. And any time this sort of irritation occurs, the area can become darker. You should be mindful of the fact that you can actually create under-eye circles, or exacerbate existing ones.

The skin around the eyes is ten times thinner than the skin on the face. As we age, skin loses its elasticity and becomes even thinner due to a breakdown of collagen. This can be further aggravated by sun exposure, smoking, and other environmental exposures. The skin of the eye contour is constantly moving, blinking alone produces 10,000 movements per day! Other facial movements and expressions such as smiles, squinting, and stress can also affect the eye area, creating fine lines or crows feet – lines that appear on the outside corner of the eye. Under-eye puffiness can be exacerbated by salty foods, allergies and internal dehydration. Rubbing and tugging of the delicate skin under the eye due to allergies, crying, eye makeup removal and insertion and removal of contact lenses can contribute to sagging of the this area. The skin's elasticity is similar to a rubber band - constant tugging and pulling eventually causes loss of elasticity. Because the tissue around the eyes has very few oil glands, it lacks the natural moisture present on other parts of the body.

Caring for the skin around the eyes is a delicate process. Because it is thinner, it not only tends to be the first place to show signs of aging, but also is more sensitive than the rest of the skin. Therefore, extra care needs to be taken when choosing a skincare product for this area. Products that contain gentle, non-irritating compounds that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and skin-plumping substances are ideal choices.

In choosing a product, it is important that it be oil-free. Products containing oil increase the likelihood of clogged glands around the eyes that can lead to styes and other ocular problems. Contact lens wearers in particular, should avoid products containing oil. The oil not only sticks to the lens causing blurred vision, but can also cause permanent staining. To minimize the potential for contamination, people should avoid products packaged in a manner that requires “dipping” fingers into a jar.

In addition to choosing the proper skin care product, other things are important in maintaining healthy skin around the eyes:

• Drink plenty of water. Water plays a crucial role maintaining the elasticity of skin.

• Avoid smoking cigarettes. Nicotine constricts blood vessels in the face and under the eyes. Constricted vessels also make it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed, which leads to a breakdown of collagen.

• Stay out of the sun. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays causes melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, to mature abnormally. This results in age spots and uneven pigmentation. UV rays are responsible for up to 90% of aging and can add several years to your appearance.

• Wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.

• Get plenty of rest. Fatigue can cause skin to look pale and gaunt.

• Limit alcohol intake. Excessive drinking can cause dehydration, so limit yourself to a glass or two of wine every week

• Use flat cotton pads when removing eye makeup. Avoid cotton balls as they absorb too much product!

• Use a quality professionally recommended skin care for the area around the eyes.

Try Noevir Perfecting Eye Cream which addresses various concerns such as dryness, crow's feet, sagging, puffiness, dark circles. Perfecting Eye Cream instantly absorbs into the skin and relieves dryness. It seals and prevents moisture from escaping the skin. It's active patent-pending ingredients gradually penetrates and replenishes with much needed nutrients, while helping strengthen the delicate eye skin.

I use the spatula provided to put a tiny amount on the back of one hand and warm and smooth it with the pinky finger of the other, then pat the product on the bone beneath the eye and the bone above the eye. I find that this amount will do both eyes.
