"Eye" spy some Eye Cream

Eminence Eye Cream 

When's a good time to start using eye cream?

My mom got me using eye cream in my teens, it's never too early. I personally like the thought of keeping wrinkle free eyes and healthy skin around my eyes for as long as I can.

But, aside from the fact that our eyes are the windows to our soul, by age 30, aging signs around our eyes will begin to show, and in our 20's, sun damage will start to rear is ugly head, unfortunately. It's best to keep that sunscreen on and keep those eyes nourished.

By 30, coQ10, produced by the body is for basic cell functioning. As we age, these levels decrease, which is what will contribute to show those signs of aging around the eyes.

To help prevent those lines around the eyes, pick an eye cream rich with antioxidants and one that'll keep your skin plumped and hydrated. I personally like this eye cream by Eminence my mom passed along to me. Plus it's a certified organic product.

Donʻt make these skin mistakes

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated 

bad skin DON'T #1 : Taking those long hot showers
Unfortunately taking those long hot showers is going to damage your skin. It strips your skin of itʻs natural lipids. (EveryDayHealth.com). When these lipids are reduced, it causes your skin to get dry and itchy. We all know that thatʻs super uncomfortable. If you're cold and you want that warm relaxing feeling, try shower in some lukewarm water instead of scorching your skin.

bad skin DON'T #2 : You don't use sunscreen (even during winter)
try to sunscreen your skin up everyday. The suns rays are more harmful now days than in in previous generations. The suns peak hours have extended, it used to be try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. but now it's until 4 p.m. Who would've thought?
Yes, it may be cloudy during winter and it might not feel like you're getting any sun, but those UVA rays are the same year round (everydayhealth.com). Then go for a moisturizer that's heavier, and soothing, that cold winter wind and air can be irritating to your skin.

bad skin "Don't" #3: Toweling off vigorously after you shower. Just like how you're supposed to pat dry your face after washing, pat dry your body. Rubbing the towel vigorously can irritate the skin. Apply some moisturizer to your skin while it's damp and it'll lock in that moisture.

DO - Drink lots of water daily. If you're a morning coffee drinker, than be sure to suck up that water. Caffeine will dry out the skin and show wrinkles more. So keep that skin hydrated! and don't squint your forehead :)
