Different rescues for your eye problems

Do you have eye problems like dark circles? Fine lines? Puffiness? Eye bags? If you have, then you should pay more attention to the eye skin care. Beautiful eyes are in everyone’s reach no matter what shape, size or color. These can also make you look youthful, different problems should have different rescues, tips for you here:

Puffy Eyes

Try placing a chilled eye compress, cold water-soaked tea bags, or cucumber slices over lids for five minutes. Cold constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling. Gently press eye creams on the bones around your eyes as you apply it, the pressure helps stimulate circulation and drain excess fluid.

Dark Circles

Daily use of any basic eye cream will temporarily plump skin so blood vessels are less visible, eye creams are a better choice for this purpose than regular face creams, because they tend to have a higher concentration of emollients for plumping and a thicker texture, which makes them adhere to the ever-mobile eye area.

Lines and Wrinkles

A few ingredients are essential. The first is retinol, a vitamin A derivative that rebuilds collagen levels and helps smooth fine lines. Antioxidants like green tea and vitamin C, which help skin retain collagen, are effective wrinkle reducers, too. If your skin is especially sensitive, swap vitamin A products for peptides — proteins that also stimulate collagen growth.

Sagging Lids

No eye cream alone will reverse sagging once skin begins its downward slide. Only surgery gives you truly long-term improvement. But artfully applied eye makeup can make drooping lids less noticeable. The trick is to define the lashline and neutralize the lid. Apply a light, nude-colored shadow from your lashes to your brow. Next, dip a liner brush in a gray, brown, or black shadow, and apply color as close to the base of top lashes as possible.


                  
No matter what shape or size eyes you have, with the proper make-up, they will look more youthful and beautiful.

2. Make use of mascara, it will give your eyes that glow.
3. Wear natural colors. Like off- white or light tone eye shadow on the lids and a brown or gray shade above the lids and a little above the bone.
4. Wear eyeliner to bring out the eyes.
5. Wear mascara – black or brown is fine.
