Hiding eye wrinkles often seems to be the most important job of facial makeup. We all know facial wrinkles are the most obvious signs of age, and undereye wrinkles seem to be the first and the worst.
Another sad truth: don't eye wrinkles always seem to come with puffiness or bags under the eyes to make things worse?
Hiding eye wrinkles with makeup helps, but it's never enough. For one thing, even the best facial makeup is clearlyhiding something,and everyone knows it.
More importantly, unless you reduce and gradually eliminate undereye wrinkles with the best anti wrinkle skincare, no amount of makeup will work in the end.
The skin around the eyes seems especially sensitive to three problems which are the main causes of all skin wrinkles:
-- Loss of natural collagen and elastin, the primary ingredients in healthy skin;
-- reduced levels of hyaluronic acid, also called hyaluronan, which is vital to cell growth in the skin;
-- and oxidation from excessive free radicals in your skin.
Effective skincare for eye wrinkles means dealing with all three of those issues, and the best care for undereye wrinkles will probably take more than one product.
You may well want to give your face a day cream, night cream, and add a special product for the vulnerable and super-sensitive skin around your eyes.
I'm in favor of buying only skincare products that have been clinically tested and come with money-back guarantees.
And to check if you're getting your money's worth on a product for undereye wrinkles, here's what to look for:
Fewer, less obvious eye wrinkles, and visibly less puffiness and reduced bags and dark circles under the eyes. You should see those undereye wrinkles and dark circles progressively getting smaller. Expect to see a difference in eye wrinkles within 10 days to two weeks, at most.
Besides a guarantee and record of clinical testing, here are some ingredients to look for in a quality eye wrinkle treatment:
-- Coenzyme Q10, a superb antioxident. Look for Coenzyme Q10 in "nano-emulsion" form, for better penetration into the skin. It is extremely effective at destroying free radicals in your skin for a great anti-wrinkle effect.
-- Natural vitamin E is a wonderful antioxidant that complements Coenzyme Q10
-- Active manuka honey is another natural way to bring moisture and soothing skin protection to reduce eye wrinkles
-- Babassu, another natural emollient that softens the skin around the eyes
-- Crodomol CAP, a trademarked emollient which also forms an invisible film on the skin to keep out dirt and grime.
