Eye skin care is not only for those who have vision issues. The skin around your eyes is also especially important when thinking of your well being and character.

Think about when you meet someone for the first time or see an acquaintance. The first thing you notice about most people are their eyes. What color they are. Are their eyes attractive? Are they making eye contact? AND do they have dark circles under their eyes or bags under their eyes or even saggy eye lids or wrinkles around their eyes?

We are an observant population. Whether you want to admit it or not, we think those things. These skin conditions around your eyes are indeed a result of something. You may not be able to totally prevent them but you can certainly slow it down and alleviate. I’ll touch on a few things you can do for these conditions but it is first important to know why they exist.

Dark Circles Under Eyes Everyone at some point in your life or another will have dark circles under your eyes. Most of the time it is temporary and nothing to be concerned about.

Most think that fatigue is the main cause of these. It can cause dark circles but isn’t the leading reason. Dark circles are the result of widened, dilated and darker veins that become over active when you are congested as with an allergy attack or a cold.

Genetics certainly plays a part. Nutrition and the care you take for your skin takes a part. Skin conditions such as eczema can contribute to the dark circles. Many times these circles will com from result in the A.M. hours after gravity has done its job in swelling the eye lids and causing fluid to collect in your lower eye lids.

Bags Under Eyes So annoying. It’s the worst to wake up in the morning to look in the mirror and find such things under your eyes. Bags are rarely a sign of a serious medical condition but the result of a temporary cosmetic concern.

All of the above causes of dark circles can also be causes of bags. In addition, certain medications might plague you with bags.

If you find that your swelling encompasses other parts of your body, you should visit your doctor to rule out other possible causes such as kidney or thyroid problems.

Eye Wrinkles The 3 major causes of eye wrinkles are smoking, too much exposure to the sun and genetics. Wrinkles are a result of thinner skin that is dryer and less elastic. I have a friend who has thick skin. Her hands aren’t very soft especially when you touch her hands. But when you look at her face, she looks incredibly young. Go figure.

There are lots of wrinkle treatments that can be effective. It’s important to continue the treatments as new wrinkles can evolve over time and prevention is recommended.

What can you do??? This is a longer more complex answer. But the following are a few suggestions to start out with. Get enough sleep! Most adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Sleep slightly propped up so that fluids to not accumulate in your eye area. Reduce symptoms of allergies with over the counter RX.

There are many home remedies: cold compresses, cucumber slices, tea bags, night masks, you name it. If you want to know more details, please visit the Mayo Clinic. The information you get there will be medically based and not old wives tales.

There is no question that any of us like the appearance of getting old. The good news is that there are many things you can do to age more gracefully and to look better as you get older. One thing you will need to do is observe what it is you do on a daily basis.

Let's break it down a little and start with diet. I am sure you have heard the saying, "you are what you eat" In the event you have poor diet and a hectic lifestyle, while you may get away with it now, later it will come back to haunt you.

Fresh food is your friend and organic if possible. When you start to eat the right foods you will be able to look and feel sexy. With that said it is very important to understand something. I want to emphasize, "Feel sexy" because when you eat right your sense of well being changes and you will feel better and with a balanced diet you will achieve a balance nutritionally.

When you examine the state of health as a whole, in any living entity, it comes back to balance and that is the keyword I would like for you to understand.

There are many variables involved relative to how your skin will look, one being heredity, second being climate and then stress just to mention a few.

You cannot just take care of things on the outside you also need to take care of things on the inside. Along with diet you need to drink water, cut down on caffeine and if you really need it switch to green tea.

Alcohol and smoking will challenge your complexion along with a diet that consists of heavily processed foods. You will need to exfoliate your skin as this helps get rid of the dead cells and rejuvenate your skin faster.

To help boost results you can add supplements to your daily regimen along with a moisturizer which targets major problem areas like sagging skin, uneven skin tone, and dryness.
