 The eyes can tell a lot about you. The main thing that it was not about age.

Eyes - the "mirror of the soul" - something that people are communicating with you, first of all pay attention. It seems unfair that the eyes - one of the first pieces of our body, which gives our age. Not surprisingly, most women so sensitive to even the slightest irregularities that occur around the eyes.


These changes occur so quickly, because the skin around the eyes is thinner and dry than the skin in other areas of your body. After all, every time we smile when we are tired and schurim eyes when we clear this area from dirt or just touch - this is not the best way affects the skin.

However, a whopping 90 percent of visible aging - wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles - are due to exposure to the sun. The other 10 percent are determined by a combination of factors, including the feature of your facial expressions, the way you sleep, eat, drink and smile, and whether you smoke. Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, and therefore reduces its moisture, prevents the production of collagen and elastin. This is a cause of wrinkles and sagging skin.

The good news is that it is easy enough to warn most of the signs of aging that we are most annoying. There are several ways to prevent, to fix or hide the small, but significant problems with this fragile area.

Use your ring finger, which produces the least pressure and allows the warm up before applying concealer. Proceed to pat, starting from the outside of the eye and moving towards the inside. In order not to attract attention to wrinkles, use a neutral eyeliner or matte shade, not a bright blue or green.
