Not every woman can brag of ideal state of skin around eyes. And this is clear: skin in this area is very delicate and sensitive. Epidermis is very thin here. Besides, there are almost no oil-bags around eyes, which protect skin from drying and cracks; there are few muscles here, which support skin elasticity; collagenous white fibers represent gauze, that’s why skin can be easily stretched here. All these reasons affect quick ageing of skin around eyes, appearance of numerous wrinkles and edemata.
 
Starting from 25 years, every woman should remember about everyday care of the most sensitive part of skin on face. Care includes cleaning, toning and nutrition - same things you do with face. However, eye cosmetics differ from face cosmetics. Eye cosmetic has more delicate texture and sparing effect. 

Cleansing

Most often women use usual cosmetic milk as eye make-up remover. But cosmeticians advise using special eye cosmetic. You know, usual face milk PH differs from eyewater PH significantly, what leads to problems with eye contour. Use eye make-up removers, which represent two immiscible fluids: upper contains ULM oils (removing water-proof cosmetic), and lower contains calming vegetable extracts (removing non-waterproof cosmetic). Apply eye milk on a plug and remove eye make-up with light motions (otherwise you can stretch skin).
 
Do not forget removing eye make-up before going to bed, otherwise in the morning you risk seeing irritation on your eyelids and non-removed soiling will come into smallest skin chaps and will contribute to development of wrinkles. 

Toning up

Eye contour toning up is carried out with different lotions and tonics. This procedure calms down skin, adds freshness and velvet to it. Distribute tonic around eyes carefully, or apply cosmetic on two plugs and put them on eyes for a couple of minutes. 

Nutrition
Eye contour nutrition is carried out with help of creams and gels, created especially for this purpose. They do not contain fatty oils.

Gels are meant for young women from 25 years as gentle eye contour cosmetic. Unlike gels, creams have a more expressed effect, necessary in case of appearance of wrinkles. As a rule, women of mature age use creams.
 
Nourishing and moisturizing eye contour cosmetics are used to fill up loss of lipids - fats which prevent skin from dryness, smooth out small wrinkles around eyes and make skin elastic. Avoid creams with lanolin, which can cause reddening and swell.
 
You can apply gel on whole eye contour area, but do not use it for the night - big edemata are possible. Cream is applied only on the area under lower eyelid. Use patting motions (do not rub, to avoid stretching), move from external corner to internal. 

Eye contour cosmetic should be changed every 4 months. This way you can prevent conjunctivitis and allergy. Everyday care of this delicate area of skin removes many unwanted problems: deep wrinkles, peeling and swell. But swell can appear even while good eye contour care, if you drink too much alcohol, spicy and salted food, which accumulate liquid in organism. In such cases you should avoid these foods and use

a series of simple procedures to remove “eye-bags”
 
Use special cooling eye contour gel with vegetable extracts. Apply such gel on upper and lower eyelids and leave for several minutes. Gel do not leave a fatty film, so you can apply make-up right on it. Following methods are also efficient:
 
Cold black tea-bags. They help removing swell excellently, if you put them on eyelids for several minutes. Brew tea-bags with hot water, cool down and put in freezer for several minutes.
 
Special cooling masks of plastic, filled with gel. This is an excellent method to remove swell easily. Mask is kept in fridge, and when it is necessary, put it on closed eyes for 3-5 minutes. You can prepare such mask by yourself: wrap pieces of broken ice in a plastic packet and put under eyes for 5 minutes.
 
You can freeze chamomile or calendula extracts in an ice-container and wipe eyelids in the morning with them. This procedure removes swell and also moisturizes eye contour.
 
If you have time in the morning, use special masks, removing eyelid swell:
 
Crumble up fresh green parsley leaves, put this gruel on swollen eyelids and cover with wet plugs. Leave for 10-15 minutes.
 
Another variant:
 
Apply 2 table spoons grated potato on gauze and put it on swollen area. Leave for 10-15 minutes. After you remove mask, apply cream with A and E vitamins. 10-15 minutes later remove remains of cream and mask with a plug, wetted in tea extract.
 
Do 30-minute physical exercises in the morning. This can be gymnastics, weight-lifting exercises or morning run. Excess water secretion from organism though sweat helps removing edemata quickly.
