Start using an eye cream

Some people tend to ignore the anti-aging ingredients when looking at skincare products because they think ”I don’t need that yet”, when in fact, everyone can benefit from anti-aging products, no matter what age you are. Our skincare experts recommend the use of anti-aging products in as early as your 20s, and a good place to start is an eye cream or serum.

Think prevention vs. correction.

Obagi’s Elasitderm Eye Cream and ELASTIderm Eye Serum use research-based formulas to help prevent and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye puffiness.

Epionce Renewal Eye Cream soothes, strengthens and repairs the delicate eye area, leaving mature skin looking healthier and more radiant. The potent formula also works to prevent future signs of aging around the eyes.

Wear SPF daily

Many people assume that the eye area is protected by their sunglasses. However, no sunglasses provide 100% protection. The skin around the eyes is 10 times thinner than the rest of the face; and much like any part of the body, it must be protected from harmful rays of the sun.

Treat signs of aging, conceal dark circles with blendable color, and prevent sun damage with our Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35. This ultimate eye cream visibly improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles while protecting the delicate eye area against photoaging with 100% SPF 35 mineral sunscreen.

Ditch the metal sunglasses

Wearing sunglasses, along with powder or lotion SPF, will give your eyes the ultimate protection they need. But be careful! Metal framed sunglasses like aviators reflect the light back to your cheek and eye area instead of protecting them. Pick sunglasses with plastic frames to avoid this damage.

Healthy diet and exercise

We can’t stop the clock, but science is increasingly showing that we can influence, in some cases, the direction of our biological clock. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercising is key in our ultimate anti-aging guide. Add the following items to your next grocery list: healthy proteins such as beans and legumes; antioxidant-rich foods, like blueberries; and walnuts which have been found to help with cardiovascular health.

In a recent study published in Neurology, the consumption of fruits, vegetables and tea had beneficial cognitive effects among participants of the Rush Memory and Aging Project. But specifically, a higher dietary intake of the flavonols (found in pears, leafy greens, broccoli, oranges, tomatoes, beans, olive oil and tea) was associated with reduced risk for developing dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
