If you look at the number of eye skin care products and brands available today, you can see the value our society puts on the beauty of our eyes. Our eyes, are the first thing people see and judge us on and the one that ironically shows the signs of aging first. I'm sure most women would agree on that. Before you go and gather all the makeup and eye skin care products you can get your hands on for puffy eyes, eye wrinkles and dark circles, they will be useless and your money down the drain if you don't take the necessary precautions for maintaining your skin's health beforehand. Here are 10 great tips for doing just that: 1. Be familiar with your skin type. In order to make the correct purchase on eye skin care products, you must first identify your skin type and know how it reacts to certain types of ingredients and formulas. Eye skin care products are available in various types and they are designed for the particular needs of your skin. For example, if you have oily skin as opposed to dry, you should search for products that are oil free to see the best results in your skin. 2. Drink plenty of water. 8-10 glasses of water per day is the recommended amount by dermatologists. It will ensure your skin is hydrated and work to eliminate the build-up of bacteria and in effect, can clear up your skin and make it look more vibrant and radiant. 3. Use cool water in the morning, lukewarm water at night. Cool water in the morning is helpful for not only waking you up and making you feel refreshed, but also for reducing the puffy eyes look we so often experience when waking up. Before bed, use lukewarm water as opposed to hot water because hot water can make the skin exceedingly dry. Also lukewarm water will open up your pores to allow them to be fulling cleansed and rid of dirt and oil from your makeup. 4. Exfoliate Often. When exfoliating, try not to exert too much pressure when scrubbing. Exfoliating is certainly good for your skin, but do not do it too often as you might end up harming the outermost layers of your skin. Twice a week is sufficient for getting rid of the skin's top, dead layer of skin cells. 5. Always Use A Moisturizer. Use a good moisturizer, especially if you have dry skin. Most dermatologists suggest moisturizers will have their best effect on your skin if you apply them shortly after washing your face - when your skin is most permeable. Doing so, makes it easier for the active ingredients to do their best work on your skin and make the moisture last throughout the day. 6. Skip the bar soap for your face. Bar soap will strip your skin of its natural moisture. No amount of moisturizer can replace the oils stripped by bar soap. So just keep your bar soap for the body if you have to use it. 7. Reduce sun exposure. Use sunsceen as often as possible - even when it's cloudy. Every dermatologist will recommend this step. It is a very important step in reducing the signs of aging. You will ensure less wrinkles in your future without a doubt by staying out of the sun or using an SPF of at least 15 when you have to be in the sun. The best way to keep from forgetting your SPF is to make sure there is sunscreen in your makeup and eye skin care products. 8. Exercise Can Brighten Up Your Face. A little bit of perspiration will do your skin some good! You will notice that people who exercise a lot tend to have clearer, smoother skin and this is because the perspiration cleanses the dirt from their skin. 9. Antioxidants are the anti aging secret. By adding antioxidants into your diet on a daily basis you are working to actually reverse, not just prevent, the signs of aging. Antioxidants can reduce and reverse free radical damage and this free radical damage is the number one reason we start to look like we are aging. A good food to keep in mind for getting your antioxidants? Berries! Blue, black, red - the darker the better! 10. Positively deal with stress. Studies show how harmful stress is on our bodies and it is a major factor in aging. By learning to cope well with stress, we can reduce the signs of aging, improving the health of our skin and overall health. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. A good way to start is by trying not to sweat the small stuff. Learning to add these tips to your daily skin care routine will help your skin to look as beautiful as possible. Won't it feel good to know that you've done everything you can to improve your skin and in turn slow down the aging process?
