That 1970's Look

Article Description:

====================

During the 70s it was quite fashionable to have eyes which were

darkly made up with heavy black or brown eye shadow. The

" raccoon-look " was worn by celebrities, models, and movie

stars. But, as we know, fashion trends come and go, and the day

of the deeply ringed, overly made up, eyes is gone - at least for

now.

During the 70s it was quite fashionable to have eyes which were

darkly made up with heavy black or brown eye shadow. The

" raccoon-look " was worn by celebrities, models, and movie

stars. But, as we know, fashion trends come and go, and the day

of the deeply ringed, overly made up, eyes is gone - at least for

now.

The " made-up " high fashion look has been replaced by the

fresh-faced, natural youthful look. Makeup is either kept to a

minimum or artfully applied to appear so. Nothing belies that

youthful, fresh look like puffiness and discoloration around the

eyes.

Because the skin in the eye area is so delicate, it is important

to take special care to protect it. We all have natural folds in

the skin around the eyelids, which are needed to allow the eyes

to open and close. With care we can keep these folds smooth. If

we neglect proper skin care the gentle folds of the lids can take

on the look of dry, sagging wrinkles.

Additionally, as we age the skin around the eyes, which is

already thin, becomes even thinner. This can result in the blood

vessels which are close to the skin's surface showing through

the skin as a bluish tint.

There are some simple things we can do at home that will help to

freshen the look of the eyes.

Drink plenty of water: Water tends to plump up the skin, forming

a slight cushion between the thin eye skin and the blood vessels

that lie beneath the skin. Just this small amount of additional

cushioning will allow the blood vessels to remain tucked away and

out of sight.

Get a good night's rest: When we stay up late we tend to look

pale and drawn the next day. This paleness can heighten any dark

circles or puffiness that we may be prone to in the eye area.

Tea Bags over the eyes: Wet the tea bags and put them in the

refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes so that they get good

and cold. Lay one tea bag over each eye. Rest for 20 minutes,

with the dampened, cool tea bags over the eyes. The tannic acid

in the tea helps to reduce swelling and inflammation, which will

lessen the look of puffiness around the eyes.

Cucumber slices over the eyes: Cucumber slices over the eyes

have the same effect as dampened tea bags but the reduction of

puffiness is not the result of tannic acid but of a substance

found in the cut cucumber slices. The effect is the same.

These home remedies work well in the short run. But the results

are temporary and the results, although noticeable, are far from

dramatic. For more significant and long lasting results you may

need to look into finding help in the new line of beauty aids

being called cosmeceuticals.

These new beauty aids are a blend of the best cosmetic and

pharmaceutical answers to beauty concerns, like dark circles.

Scientific evidence has shown that vitamin k as well as compounds

in the peptide line are effective in treating dark circles

through regenerating the thin skin around the eyes. So it makes

sense to investigate topical creams that marry these two

substances to fight puffiness and dark circles.

One topical cream that combines these effective ingredients is

Eyederma, available from The Bodestore,

http://www.bodestore.com as well as Amazon. Eyederma combines

Ocupeptide-3 along with Vitamin K, in the proportions that have

shown to be the most effective for use in the eye area. With

regular use it purports to do the following: dramatically reduce

dark circles; strengthen the small blood vessels around the eyes;

and improve overall appearance of eyelid wrinkles and fine

lines.

It is empowering to know that, regardless of our age, there are

steps that we can take that will dramatically improve the

appearance of dark circles and puffiness around our eyes. Take

some of these steps today to improve the appearance of your

eyes.
