Say Goodbye To Dark Circles and Puffy Eyelids

Puffy eyelids, dark rings, wrinkles...the eye contour is often the place where the first signs of aging are visible. The skin around the eyes is very fine and therefore highly delicate. The best way to take care of it is to combine special treatments with a healthy lifestyle.

Eye care
The delicate area around the eye is prone to certain specific problems. When you wake up in the morning you will often see the signs of these, such as under-eye bags, protein deposits and little localized swellings. Aging only adds to the likelihood of developing problems, causing as it does a slow-down in the microcirculation. To take daily care of the eye area start by giving up smoking as the nicotine intake further slows down the production of collagen. Get enough sleep: this is still the best way to ensure you have sparkling eyes. Finally, drink a large glass of water at night before going to sleep and one in the morning as soon as you wake up. This will help to eliminate the toxins which drain into the eyelids when you are sleeping for several hours.

Relieve congestion
For no more puffy eyes when you wake up, splash thermal water on your face for at least 30 seconds. Studies have shown this has a soothing effect on the eyes. To refresh them further, try a cooling gel eye mask straight from the refrigerator. This is also good when you have red or watery eyes. You can also use a firming serum around the eyes, or you can use specialist eyes drops to relive congestion and flush out excess water (available from most pharmacies).
