Beautiful Eyes Begin with These Five Easy Steps

Photo Source:  © Daniel Sroga | Dreamstime.comHow many times do you wake up from a good night's sleep and wonder why you look so tired? Beautiful eyes start with a normal routine before you even go to bed. Follow these easy steps for better looking eyes before you put on your eyecolor.

  1. Before Bed, remove your eyemakeup. Use an eye makeup remover, specifically designed to be gentle on the sensitive skin surrounding your eye. Apply with a disposable cloth to gently rub the eye makeup off until nothing shows up on the cloth.
  2. Cleanse your face in your normal routine.
  3. Apply a nighttime cream especially designed for the eye area. Gently pat the cream into place and allow it to absorb overnight.
  4. In the morning, after washing your face, apply an eye gel or eye cream that is designed to reduce puffiness and diminish any dark circles. Gently pat the gel in an outward motion away from the nose first and towards the outer area under the eye.
  5. Allow the gel or cream time to soak in. Then, apply a concealer to your fingertip and tap it gently into place immediately under the eye. Continue patting gently until it is blended into the skin, always moving outward away from the nose towards the outer area under the eye to allow the concealer to even out. Avoid rubbing the concealer in as this tends to stretch the skin and can cause fine lines over time.

The best medicine for dark circles under the eye is sleep. You need eight hours of sleep to keep the skin from getting tired and discolored. One other helpful hint: alcohol can cause puffiness under the eyes. When you know you have overindulged on your night out on the town, take a moment to reduce swelling before you go to bed by gently pressing your cold fingertips in place below your eyes. Then apply your eye gel and sleep with your head a little more elevated than usual to keep the fluids in your body from collecting right below your eyes. This also helps when you have had some tearful moments right before you go to sleep.
