How To Minimize Damage To The Skin Around Your Eyes

Your eyes tell a lot about you.  They can immediately tell if you are tired, if you got enough sleep the night before, if you're happy, or if you're sad. Your eyes can either add or detract from your physical beauty.

The portion of skin around your eyes is one of the most delicate portions of your skin as it is much thinner and has very few oil glands.  Thus the skin under your eyes and over your eyelids depend on the additional loving care that you must provide. The following are actions you should avoid when caring for the skin under and around your eyes:

• Do not tug or pull the delicate skin under your eyes
• Avoid rubbing or wiping your eyes harshly and pat gently instead
• If you wear mascara, use an oil-free eye makeup remover to remove your mascara instead of a product that you need to wipe with much pressure.
• When applying a concealer to cover dark circles under your eyes or on the eyelid, do not tug on the skin; instead stipple using a small brush then blending with your ring finger or just use your ring finger to stipple on and blend the product.

What are some ways to counteract the natural aging process that becomes evident in the skin under your eyes and above your eyelid?  I'll cover those in my next post.
