Are you suffering from wrinkles, dark circles or bags under your eyes? The skin around your eyes is thin, delicate and sensitive and requires special care. 

Here are my top 4 tips for caring for the skin around your eyes:

Tip 1: While cleansing your face avoid any hard scrubbing. The skin around your eye is 6 to 10 times thinner than other areas of your face. Rough washing, rubbing or pulling of the skin can result – overtime – in premature aging and fine lines.

Tip 2: After cleansing, apply retinol/vitamin A serum. This work by increasing collagen production, and increasing the rate of skin cell turnover. It is very effective at minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

Tip 3:  Apply Sunscreen SPF 50 every day, even when indoors or in the winter. Sunscreen not only helps prevent skin cancer, but also helps prevent premature aging of the skin including fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.

Tip 4: At night, wear a silk eye mask or sleep on a silk pillow to avoid friction and rubbing of your skin and prevent formation of wrinkles. The silk also helps keep the moisture in your skin.
