Beautiful Eyes
Beautiful skin care starts with what people notice first. Eyes are what others notice immediately; so start your skin care program eye-to-eye!
Here are four major skin care issues related to eye care, work them successfully and look 20 years younger.
Dark Circles
Check the color of your circles. If they’re blue or gray, allergies or pooling blood may be to blame. Receive the firming, moisturizing, and corrective benefits (including the reduction in appearance of dark circles) of just released DNA Repair Creme, found at www.ihdistribution.com.
Undereye Puffiness
To beat those bags, diagnose the cause: If you’re puffy only upon awakening, fluid retention is the likely cause; sleeping on two pillows can prevent liquids from pooling. Been using a new face cream or rubbing your eyes? These can cause swelling. A gel that contains a blood-vessel constrictor, like witch hazel, and an anti-inflammatory, like chamomile extract, can temporarily reduce irritation. Or make a home remedy: Mix one drop each of witch hazel, brewed chamomile tea, and over-the-counter cortisone lotion. If you’ve got time, lay a cucumber slice on top to help the paste penetrate better. If puff is always present, try IH Distribution’s DNA Repair Creme to reduce puffiness and repair the delicate tissue around the eye.
Crow’s Feet
When you smile, your eyes pay a price – the muscles around them contract, and a little elasticity is lost. Combine that with sun exposure and, in about 30 years, you’ve got crow’s feet. DNA Repair Crème, found at www.ihdistribution.com, is effective to repair fine lines and wrinkles around the eye. The products are natural and botanical-based.
Drooping
Most firming creams have little, if any, effect on sagginess – so this is a job for cosmetics, strategically applied to define and visually “lift” the eyes. First choose a shadow palette:
1. Apply the midtone from lashline to crease. This adds soft shading to your lids.
2. To draw attention to the highest part of your arch, dust the light, shimmery color along browbone, starting from middle of brow and blending outward.
3. Sweep the darkest color over your crease, blending into the midtone, then toward the inner corner of your brow. (This softens the harshness of using the dark tone alone.)
4. Line your upper lashes with the darkest shade, intensifying the color and slightly flaring it up at the outer edge. Finish off with a curling mascara to open up your eyes.
5. You can find a vast assortment of eye shadow colors
produced from cucumber and aloe extracts that are designed to soothe and moisturize lids.
Eye Color Hints – Big Impact!
1. Enhance your eye hue with a single contrasting shadow shade. For blue or icy green eyes, choose a warm, yellow-based hue; for brown or olive-y eyes, opt for a cool, red-based shadow.
2. Perk up dull eyes. Irises lose pigment as you age, but brightening your hair helps compensate, says Boston colorist Michael Perry. To achieve, use a shine-enhancing shampoo (try IH Distribution’s Self-Adjusting Shampoo & Conditioner).
3. Neutralize blue or gray circles with a yellow-based concealer. Cover-ups with a drier consistency often have more pigment.
4. Offset bloodshot eyes. Blue liner works, but it can look unnatural. Better: Glide a neutral eyeliner (brown or black) along upper lashlines, then apply a blue liner on top; blend.
5. Groom ragged brows: They can accentuate droop. For quick cleanup, use a colored brow wand to thicken and add arch.
Control Tips
How you live affects your eyes. So to keep yours looking good, consider changing some daily habits.
1. Perfume. If your eyes are sensitive, fragrance can make them red. To diminish this effect without giving up scent, avoid classic spots - like behind your ears – that are too close to your eyes.
2. Diet. On a low carb. plan? It’s dehydrating (to metabolize the extra protein, your body uses more water) – and your eyes may show it. Compensate by drinking ten glasses of water each day, two more than what’s usually recommended.
3. Prescriptions. High blood pressure medicines and antihistamines for allergies can dry your eyes. Rehydrate with drops sans preservatives (they can be irritating) and, if you wear contacts, a moisturizing cleaning solution.
4. Exercise. When sweat drips into your eyes, so do dirt and oils and rubbing your eyes with your fingers can start an infection. Instead dab sweat with a towel and try to wear a sweatband.
