Tips for keeping the skin around the eyes healthy

In addition to choosing the proper skin care product, other things are important in maintaining healthy skin around the eyes:

• Drink plenty of water. Water plays a crucial role maintaining the elasticity of skin.
• Avoid smoking cigarettes. Nicotine constricts blood vessels in the face and under the eyes. Constricted vessels also make it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed, which leads to a breakdown of collagen.
• Stay out of the sun. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays causes melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, to mature abnormally. This results in age spots and uneven pigmentation. UV rays are responsible for up to 90% of ageing and can add several years to your appearance.
• Wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
• Get plenty of rest. Fatigue can cause skin to look pale and gaunt.
• Limit alcohol intake. Excessive drinking can cause dehydration, so limit yourself to a glass or two of wine every week.
• Use a quality professionally recommended skin care product for the area around the eyes.
