Eyeful !

First signs of aging

Expression lines, those of smile and laughter, will become embedded in the most fragile area of ​​the face, the eye contour, because there are fewer collagen and elastin fibers. Specific cosmetics are concentrated in active ingredients that stimulate the creation of skin support fibers with a tightening effect that visibly plumps the eye area.   

The solution ? Adopt a preventive anti-wrinkle treatment even before they appear when you are approaching 30 years old. Avoid UV rays and sun exposure which further mark wrinkles

Down with dark circles!

Enemy n ° 1, blue or greyish circles darken the eyes and give us a sad face. Hyper delicate under the eyes, the skin lets show through the blood accumulated by poor circulation in this area. Unfortunately, the hereditary dark circles of genetic origin, bequeathed by your parents or grandparents, you can only camouflage them. There are also chronic dark circles appearing in reaction to fatigue, stress and excess of all kinds.   

The solution ? Your most natural concealer is a correct lifestyle, sleep enough, have regular physical activity and eat balanced. In addition, revive the microcirculation under the eyes, with an energizing treatment (preferably a gel). When you wake up, remember to tap the area with your fingertip and massage from the inside to the outside to circulate the blood

The look that tires

Around the eye, nearly fifteen muscles provide more than 10 eyelash beats per day! And at the slightest ray of sunlight or after a long time spent behind a screen, these reflex blinks intensify, the eyebrows furrow: an innate self-defense system is set up to protect the pupil. A tiring test for the eyes and the eye area, because in this place, the skin is five times thinner than elsewhere. Put to the test, it is often parched and it will be the first area to wrinkle.   

The solution? I anticipate! Take the time to gently massage the eye area with a revitalizing treatment. Gently tap with your fingertip, make small circular massages and smooth the skin from the inner corner outwards, working up to the browbone.

Black eyes

Whether they are hereditary, a sign of old age or a surprise of difficult awakenings, the “suitcases” in front of the eyes remain very unsightly. This slight stagnation of liquid in the tissues, under the eye, alters the elasticity of the elastin and collagen fibers and causes a small sagging of the skin, which will only get worse. To get rid of it, it is necessary to promote a better circulation of water between the cells.   

The solution ? Apply a decongestant treatment just above the bone of the cheekbones and not too close to the eyelashes. One drop is enough! Lightly pat from the wings of the nose to the temples, without pressing or smoothing. Limit your daily salt intake. Grandmother’s remedy: a tea bag already infused, still wet but cold on each closed eyelid for 15 minutes. A proven trick.
