When you peer into the mirror, searching breathlessly for the first inklings of (gasp!) wrinkles, where do you look first? Yep, the eye area.
When the first signs of aging come creeping in, the eye area is usually the first place that you will notice it. You see those fine lines under your eyes, the crow’s feet and the dark under eye circles. It is just so not cool and can make you look old way before you are ready to look old(er).
Of course, the best time to start with anti-aging skin treatments is before the signs of aging start setting in, but when you are young and free you don’t usually think of such things. And you certainly never think that it will happen to you.
Who, me? Get old? Never!


Wake up, sweetheart, the aging process does not discriminate!
Sephora.com has some of the best antiaging skin treatments, specifically for the eye area, available on their web site. Cosmedicine Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers 0.5 oz
, sold exclusively at Sephora, is a lightweight eye treatment. It has light diffusing crystals to camouflage dark under eye circles. It also softens lines and wrinkles, making them less noticeable. Puffiness and dark circles are reduced and your eyes look more youthful.
And, girls, we all know that when your eyes look old and tired, you will look older. So, the more that you can do to perk up that area, the younger you will look. Sure, it is important for you to get enough sleep and eat healthy, but a little help from your friends at Sephora sure can’t hurt anything!
Speaking of our friends at Sephora, they also offer, check out this name, Philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye & Lip Cream .5 oz
. This is a great little product, not quite as pricey as Cosmedicine Opti-mologist Eye Cream, but still a great anti-aging skin treatment. Hope in a Tube is deeply hydrating for aging skin that lacks moisture and is beginning to show the signs of age and environmental stress. It makes skin resilient and younger looking.
If you want something a little more “serious” for attacking the signs of aging, the anti-aging eye treatment Klein-Becker StriVectin-SD® Eye Cream 1.3 oz
USA really rocks. It contains Striadril which has pent peptides, a unique patented formula that will smooth away the fine lines caused by aging. It aids in the buildup of collagen in the skin, which, as you know, we begin to lose as we age. It also is less irritating to the skin than other anti-aging skin treatments.
While all those neat creams and gels are great and everything, there is more to younger looking eyes than meets the eye (pun intended).


You have to take extra care of the skin around your eyes when you remove your eye makeup. Eye makeup remover can take even the toughest mascara and eye makeup right off and, wouldn’t you know it, Sephora answers the call. Sephora FACE Eye Makeup Remover 4.22 oz
are just what you need. One formulation is for waterproof eye makeup, such as waterproof mascara, and the other formulation is for makeup that is not waterproof. Both products are gentle and effective. Put a little remover on a cotton pad or cotton swab and gently remove your eye makeup.
Now, I probably don’t need to tell you this, but I will anyway. When you wash your face and remove your eye makeup, be gentle. You don’t want to scrub, especially in the eye area and you sure don’t want to go pulling on the skin around your eyes. That area is very fragile and you can do damage that won’t be very pretty.
When you apply your eye cream or gel, use your ring finger to gently dot it on. You don’t want to rub it into your skin because that is just too harsh. Be gentle.
So, getting older doesn’t have to be traumatic. You can get older and look great. Just because you have more candles on your birthday cake doesn’t mean that you have to give in to it. If you take care of your skin, start early and remember to be gentle, you don’t have to deal with having so many of those fine lines and dark circles. So, girls, take care of that eye area with eye makeup remover and an anti-aging cream or gel. When you flash those peepers, you want them to see your youthful, lovely eyes, and nary a wrinkle in sight.
