Late nights, lack of sleep, dark circles, eye wrinkles and puffy eyes make you look older than you feel. While genetics factor in, aging is the most common culprit behind tired, heavy eyes.

The skin around your eyes works hard. Keeping your eyes radiant and beautiful doesn’t have to be.

These revolutionary eye gel patches treat delicate eye skin to a luxe cocktail of peptides and anti-aging stem cells from plants to revive sleepy eyes with ease. The cooling sensation nixes tired, puffy eyes, dark circles and under eye bags, while the anti-aging formula supports cell renewal and strengthens skin to soften eye wrinkles and pesky crow’s feet.

The cream can easily melt into delicate eyes as you sleep, causing irritation. With these convenient gel eye patches, you’ll never wake to red, irritated eyes again.

Protecting your eyes from bacteria is important. Our gel eye mask comes in a single-use pouch. That means it is far more sanitary than anti-aging eye creams that come in a jar.

This anti-aging eye treatment is different. Each single-use pouch is convenient to apply, sanitary and travel-friendly. Think of it like the easiest way to soothe eyes that feel heavy and tired. In just 10 to 20 minutes, your eyes will look like new again.

Eyes are one of the most important features of your face. Beautiful eyes make you appear healthy, young and well rested. Unfortunately, the eye area has delicate skin that is prone to all kinds of cosmetic problems.

Choosing the best eye cream is hard because there are so many different skincare ingredients and products on the market geared toward various eye concerns. Because of this, it can leave you unsure about which products and treatments to try. Today’s blog post is all about guiding you to find the best eye creams and clinical treatments to help you achieve the beautiful, youthful eyes you desire.

The real reason for aging eyes

Everyone wants beautiful eyes, but aging and genetics can cause everything from dark circles to wrinkles and puffy bags under eyes.  The skin around the eyes is about ten times thinner than the rest of your face. For this reason, the eye area is much more likely to show signs of aging faster than skin in other areas.

The skin around the eyes also has less oil glands and fewer collagen fibers, which are essential for healthy, young-looking skin. That’s why it is important to treat your eyes with products and clinical treatments to help maintain their youth and vitality. With the right treatments, your eyes will sparkle. However, it is important to choose the correct eye products to avoid damaging the eyes and surrounding skin.

Can I just use my face moisturizer around my eyes?

Rejuvenating Treatments for Youthful Eyes

Eye creams work differently than face creams. The truth is, it’s not just marketing hype. The skin around the eyes has special needs. Since eye skin has less oil glands and collagen fibers than the rest of your skin, richer creams and firming ingredients are necessary to prevent dehydration and wrinkles. While these products may be too rich for the rest of your face, they are perfect for the skin around your eyes.

Facial cleansers can also cause the skin to dry out, making eye wrinkles and crow’s feet more obvious. If your skin is oily and you use a moisturizer or cleanser for oily skin, that will only make matters worse by exacerbating dryness. Further, skincare products may be too strong for use around the eyes since the eye itself is very sensitive. We have all had a moment when a drop of facial cleanser or face cream got into the eye, resulting in pain, irritation, redness and watery eyes. So products for the eye area must be gentler than skincare products designed for your face and body.

Face products may also contain active ingredients like AHAs and fragrance, which can further irritate eyes.

Treat common eye concerns with these expert tips

The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to all kinds of cosmetic problems. Our experts weigh in on how to treat common eye concerns for beautiful, more youthful eyes.

Eye wrinkles

To fight dryness and wrinkles around eyes, dermal nurse Lea Barclay from Specialist Skin Solutions recommends the Skin Better Science range. This line is great for rejuvenating and conditioning the skin to help soften the appearance of wrinkles and dull skin.

Skin Better Science has an eye cream with a dual-action effect and interfuse technology. It gives a beautiful result as an eye cream on its own, but you can get even better results by applying their fine line cream just beforehand. As with all cosmetic treatments, a combination approach works best.

“They actually say that this is the no needle solution” similar to muscle relaxant injectables, Lea explains. “I find it complements the injections.”

The range contains some of the best eye ingredients on the market today. For example, it has intensive moisturizers to fight dryness and skin-brightening vitamin C, along with amino acids and peptides, which are building blocks for collagen production. Using Skin Better Science helps soften wrinkles and it’s also a great spot treatment for crows feet, Lea says. Simply apply the products where you see fine lines and creases around the eyes.

It’s not necessary to smother it all over the face. A few dabs is all it takes to help make your eyes look more youthful, which helps save money in the long run without sacrificing results. Eye creams can be pricey, but a little goes a long way so you get the most bang for your buck.

Eye puffiness

Everyone gets puffy eyes from time to time. While allergies may be to blame, aging and late nights can also trigger a puffy look. Lea and Doctor Bernard again recommend The Skin Better Science eye cream to help treat puffy eyes. Vitamin C is the key ingredient, which helps brighten dull, tired skin.

Another product that can eliminate irritated, puffy eyes is a cooling rollerball eye gel. These are great for tired mornings when eyes need to look fresh and awake. The cooling sensation helps restrict puffiness while calming the skin. Simply swipe it on before you head out the door for instant eye relief in the a.m.

Severe dehydration around eyes

Eye skin is quite thin, meaning it dries out faster than the rest of your face. Dehydrated skin looks dull, tired and thin and it also exaggerates fine lines and wrinkles. Our experts recommend Dr. Eyelift, an eye cream in a convenient dispenser that pumps out just the right amount of product. The rich, creamy formulation is ultra hydrating — exactly what dry skin around eyes needs.

This product also contains rejuvenating and moisturizing ingredients like Shea butter and squalene to revive dry skin instantly. It’s the perfect ‘pick-me-up’ for skin that needs extra nourishment.

Crow’s feet

Delicate eye skin is prone to crow’s feet. These are usually the first wrinkles to appear on a woman’s face. Luckily, there is something that can help.

Lea highly recommends a product called Opti Crystals. This liquid crystal eye cream is one of the clinic’s top sellers for a reason. Opti Crystals is an anti-aging eye cream that helps fight the look of wrinkles and dark circles, too.

The secret is copper peptides, which instantly illuminate the eye area with an advanced microcrystal formulation. This visibly softens the appearance of wrinkles and helps firm skin as well, Lea says.

Dark circles

Hyperpigmentation under the eyes is a common concern. Dark circles under eyes leave you looking tired, no matter how much sleep you got the night before. Sun damage only makes matters worse. Lea recommends eye creams with vitamin C, which are excellent for brightening the under eye area naturally. It’s also beneficial to try under eye creams with peptides, licorice extracts or caffeine to help banish dark circles. These ingredients help brighten, firm and tone.

How to get the best results from your eye cream

Follow these tips to get the most benefit from your under eye creams and moisturizers.

Pinkies up! Gentle application is key

Since the eye area is so thin and delicate, applying eye products gently is a must. Many people use their index or middle finger to spread eye cream around, but this can cause too much pressure, which can further irritates delicate eye skin.

Instead, try using your pinky finger to gently dab on the products you use. As the weakest finger, it is the perfect amount of pressure for the sensitive eye area. This helps ensure you won’t damage the skin. Another tip is to softly pat product onto the skin rather than smearing it on, which can tug at skin.

Skip the upper eyelid

It may be tempting to slather eye cream all over the eyes, but our experts recommend that you don’t apply products to the upper eye lids. Doing so can cause irritation since they can easily drip down onto the lashes and get in your eyes. Remember, eye products are meant for the skin around your eyes. We don’t want any product getting into the waterline or the eye itself. Irritation and redness can result, compromising the health of your eyes and making your eyes look worse than when you started.

You don’t need to do a lot of products

A good eye cream can be pricey, but it should last six to twelve months. Instead of using multiple eye products, look for formulas with multiple beneficial ingredients in one. Think peptides, vitamin C, emollients and caffeine. Buying too many under eye creams means you’re more likely to skip applications or use them inconsistently.

Start treating aging eyes early

When it comes to your eyes, prevention is better than a cure. Treating cosmetic eye problems when they are minor is far easier and less costly than correcting severe aging eyes. Keeping eye skin hydrated before fine lines begin to appear in your 20s and 30s can go a long way to keeping eyes youthful.

Daily SPF is also vital to preventing sun damage, a leading cause of aging eye skin. Otherwise, invasive cosmetic treatments may be needed to correct wrinkles and pigmentation.

Apply carefully to avoid the tear duct and waterline

If you are waking up with red, irritated or puffy eyes, even when using a gentle eye night cream, it may be that you need to apply the product more carefully before bed. It is important to avoid contact with the waterline, lashes and tear duct to prevent eye irritation. Applying too close to these areas allows the product to melt down into the eyes overnight, especially if it is warm out or if you sleep with your face pressed against the pillow.

Combine in-office treatments with home skincare

It’s a good idea to tackle eye problems with a two-step approach. It all starts with a high-quality eye cream so that your skin gets hydration and nourishment on a daily basis. This is essential for keeping eyes looking young and fresh.

Home skincare can only do so much. In-office treatments are excellent for giving your eye area a dramatic boost in vitality and radiance. For example, muscle relaxants can tame crow’s feet, whereas cosmetic eye creams have more subtle firming and wrinkle-softening benefits.

When you combine at-home skincare with advanced clinical treatments, your eyes will sparkle. That’s the difference between a good result and a great result.

Remove eye makeup daily

Rejuvenating Treatments for Youthful Eyes

It is important to keep eyes clean in order to keep them healthy. Lea recalls speaking with an oculoplastic surgeon who had mentioned an unusual finding in patients with under eye bags. The surgeon noted finding remnants of old mascara, foundation and concealer that had worked its way down into that area. Some patients even developed eye infections and ingrown lashes from the debris.

It goes to show that people don’t always cleanse the eye area correctly. Longwear foundation and waterproof mascara can be hard to remove. Makeup-removing facial cleansers are too strong for eyes, so a gentle cleanser that removes eye makeup is your best bet. It is also a good idea to skip eye makeup on days you don’t need it. If your skin is not getting a chance to breathe, it can’t look its best.

Best cleansers for eye makeup removal

Cream for melasma acne stretch marks opt

It’s very important that you cleanse the eye area well to remove makeup and bacteria. Mild formulas are the key. Our experts recommend micellar water for daily cleansing. Simply apply a few drops to a cotton pad and gently wipe the eye area clean at the end of the day. The takeaway? “Please don’t go to bed with your mascara and makeup on,” Lea says.

If the eyes are a window to the soul, the skin around them is a dead giveaway to your age. A crinkle around the eyes may be charming when you think of your grandmother, but for the rest of us, eye wrinkles, dark circles and puffy eyes are a no-go.

Find out what causes the most common signs of eye aging and learn which cosmetic eye rejuvenation treatments are best for keeping your eyes looking youthful.

The real reason your eye area is starting to look older

Eye Rejuvenation Treatments

Age-related skin changes around the eyes are caused by a host of factors. Gravity pulls skin and muscles downward over time, resulting in an aged appearance. As the skin sags, it causes you to look tired, even if you had a full night of sleep.

Creases also form as your skin starts producing less elastin, a protein that is essential for keeping skin flexible so that it can “bounce back” into place after you make facial expressions.

Collagen also decreases beginning around age 30. Collagen is like concrete in a brick wall – It holds your cells (the bricks) together and gives your skin structure. Less collagen means weaker skin that is more prone to sagging, wrinkles, and other cosmetic problems.

You may have noticed that the eye area has particularly delicate, thin skin compared to the rest of the skin on your face. Because of this, it is often one of the first areas of the face that you will start to notice signs of aging.

Do you have any of these cosmetic concerns around your eyes?

Aging eyes are no fun for anyone. They can give you a rundown appearance and leave you looking haggard. They can make you look older than you are and appear tired, even if you got a full night of sleep.

Let’s face it: Whether you are walking into the boardroom or a party with friends, your appearance matters. That is why many women and men around the world choose to have cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

Dark circles

Dark circles are a common problem among men and women. The older you get, the worse they tend to look. When you see dark under eye circles, what you are really seeing is pooling in blood vessels under the eyes.

What do dark circles look like?

Dark circles can be a wide range of colors. The color of the circles really comes down to your skin tone. On cool skin tones, they tend to look purple or blue. On warmer skin tones, they can appear olive, purple or dark brown, and on dark skin tones, the circles may look purple to dark brown or black. Sometimes they are accompanied by bags under the eyes.

What causes dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles are often blamed on lack of sleep. Allergies are another possible cause. Aging is another big factor. The skin under your eyes gets thinner with age. That allows the blood vessels to be more readily visible than they were in youth. Genetics also play a role in periorbital dark circles. It can run in families, and may even be linked to ethnicity.

Are dark circles harmful?

Dark circles are usually not a cause for concern, unless they are present due to lifestyle factors like poor sleep habits, alcohol consumption or poor diet. Some people just seem to get them no matter how healthy they may be

Treatments for dark circles

While dark circles are usually harmless, many people want to get rid of them for cosmetic reasons. There are home remedies such as cucumbers, warm compresses and cold spoons. It may be beneficial to sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce blood pooling under your eyes while you sleep.

Dark circles are hard to fight. Many patients find little help from home remedies. While they can help manage dark circles to a degree, more advanced cosmetic treatments may be needed. Another reason people seek treatment is because it is very difficult to cover dark circles with makeup.

Eye rejuvenation treatments for dark circles are very effective. We will discuss fillers to correct dark circles in the next section.

Puffy Eyes

Swollen eyes or puffy eyes can happen to both men and women. Luckily, there is something you can do about it.

What do puffy eyes look like?

Bags under the eyes can appear worse with age. Some people may notice there eyes are slightly puffy in the morning. You can thank gravity for that. As you lay down, any water retained in the eye area can start to gather and cause swelling under the eyes. As you get moving and start your day, under eye puffiness decreases, again with the help of gravity.

Other people may have more severe puffy eyes. Bulging skin under the eyes indicates a fluid buildup. If under eye bulging is persistent, you may need eye rejuvenation treatments.

What causes puffy eyes?

If you have puffy eyes, your first stop should be to your primary care doctor or opthamologist to rule out medical causes. Puffy eyes can sometimes result from allergies, infection, injury, and other factors. But today, we are going to discuss the age-related cause of puffy eyes. As you age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner. That means there is less skin to cover up fluid retention under the eyes.

Puffy eyes home remedies and cosmetic treatments

Home remedies for puffy eyes are plentiful. The goal is to reduce swelling under the eyes. A cold spoon in the morning may help alleviate some of the puffiness. Warm compresses may also help. Benadryl can help if the root cause is allergies. For puffy eyes or bulging skin under the eyes caused by aging, eye rejuvenation treatments may improve the condition. We’ll cover those in the next section.

Sagging skin around the eyes

This can happen both above and below the eye. Drooping upper eyelids tend to become more pronounced with age. But it is normally below the eyes where sagging skin is most obvious.

Signs of sagging skin around the eyes

Drooping skin is a telltale sign of aging. The under eye skin may appear loose and stretched out. You may also notice crepiness and fine lines. The skin may also feel thinner and less elastic to the touch. You are not imagining it. There is less of the elastin protein in your skin as you age, which weakens the skin structure.

Droopy upper eyelids are also common with age. The problem can get so severe that the upper eyelid may be concealed entirely. That is because the upper eye skin, which is normally plump and firm in youth, loses it firmness and elasticity which causes the skin to hang down. This gives the eyes a hooded appearance. If you already had hooded eyelids to begin with, you can imagine how that can worsen with age.

Causes of sagging skin under eyes

Gravity and aging work together to create sagging skin. With age, there is less collagen and elastin to give the skin around your eyes the strength to fight gravity. Skin that appears taut and firm when you are young won’t stay that way forever, at least without the help of cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

Home remedies and cosmetic treatments for sagging skin around the eyes

Under eye creams are the most popular way to treat aging skin around the eyes. They help the skin around your eyes appear more plump and moisturized, which helps diminish sagging and fine lines to a degree. It is important to choose a high-quality eye cream. Injectables may also help. We’ll talk more about both treatments below.

Crow’s feet

Fine lines around the eyes are perhaps the most common sign of eye aging. It happens to nearly everyone at some point.

What do crow’s feet look like? 

Crow’s feet are most obvious when you smile. For many people, these pesky lines are a reason to frown. You may notice crinkly skin around your eyes that resemble the feet of the bird they are named after. Many people first notice smile lines around the eyes when they have their photo taken and they are smiling. If you have them, don’t worry. It is not too late to do something about it. In fact, they are easy to treat with eye rejuvenation treatments.

What causes crow’s feet?

There are small muscles around the eyes that are constantly moving. Nearly every facial expression you make causes those muscles to move. You may squint your eyes to read or to fight the sun’s glare. When you smile, your eyes move too. A curious expression also gives the eye muscles a workout.

Yes, those eye muscles are always moving. If you had never thought about it before, it may make you raise an eyebrow. And you guessed it: Raising an eyebrow puts the eye muscles to work also.

Herein lie the problem. As facial muscles move, the skin moves along with it. In youth, skin has more elastin and collagen, so it bounces back the instant the facial muscles relax. As skin ages, it loses elastin and collagen. That means the skin doesn’t bounce back as fast.

A lifetime of making facial expressions takes a toll on the skin around your eyes. Dynamic wrinkles are the kind that form first. You make a facial expression, and instantly notice a temporary fine line or crease when your face relaxes.

Shortly after, the skin fully relaxes and the lines disappear. Dynamic wrinkles eventually turn into static wrinkles, the kind that are etched in the skin long after the skin relaxes. If you wake up in the morning and notice fine lines and wrinkles straight away, those are static wrinkles.

Home remedies and crow’s feet treatment

Regardless of whether you have dynamic or static wrinkles, there are in-office eye rejuvenation treatments that can help. While you can’t stop making facial expressions altogether (unless you want to look like a zombie), there are other ways for how to get rid of crow’s feet. A plastic surgeon or aesthetician can help. We will discuss treatments for crow’s feet in more detail below.

Hollows under the eyes (aka pronounced tear troughs)

Hollows under the eyes can make you look older than you are. This can be easily corrected with cosmetic eye rejuvenation.

What does it look like?

There was once plump, firm skin just below the inner eyelid. But now, you may notice that area looks like it’s been drained. The under eye area looks hollow, losing volume that makes you look older. It gives you a tired look, no matter how much sleep you got the night before.

Causes of hollows under the eyes

Gravity is not kind to an aging face. Under eye hollowing is mainly caused by cheek sagging. As the cheek muscles begin to droop downward with age, tear troughs form. This usually begins around age 30. It tends to worsen as the years go by. The condition is harmless, but treatable. An opthamologist, dermal nurse, or plastic surgeon can administer fillers to restore volume to the hollow area.

Best eye rejuvenation treatments for youthful eyes

Rejuvenating Treatments for Youthful Eyes

There are eye creams, serums, eye masks, facial rollers, and a host of other gadgets out there to refresh the eye area. But patients often find they need more help than home remedies can offer.

Many patients seek long-term solutions so they don’t have to constantly fight an uphill battle against aging eyes every day. It can be frustrating to try to hide or correct the problem each morning.

In-office eye rejuvenation allows you to treat the area professionally for long-lasting results. That is important for patients with busy lives.

1. Muscle relaxants

Injectables are a fantastic way to treat wrinkles and fine lines anywhere on the face. The eye area is no exception. With muscle relaxants, you can achieve remarkably younger-looking skin around the eyes. Not only that, it can prevent your eye skin from developing new wrinkles by keeping the muscles and skin relaxed.

There are many muscles in your face that are constantly moving as you make expressions. Smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows, squinting to read fine print…these all wear on your delicate eye skin over time.

Muscle relaxant injectables work by causing temporary muscle paralysis. Reducing the movement of facial muscles, especially around the crow’s feet area, allows your skin and muscles to relax. For patients with dynamic wrinkles, this is the key to youthful eyes.

Dr. Beldholm will inject muscle relaxants in the crow’s feet area. While facial injectables may sound scary, treatment is quick and virtually painless. Your skin may look a little red or lumpy for up to one hour afterward, but it is normally mild. There is no downtime. It is a fairly quick “in and out” procedure that you could get done on your lunch break.

It can take anywhere from four days to two weeks for the muscle relaxants to start working. During that time, you will notice less movement in the muscles that were treated. Gradually, you will see that existing lines and wrinkles around your eyes begin to fade. Results last anywhere from two to six months, depending on the product and quantity that was injected.

It is important to treat the eye area with the minimal amount of product needed to achieve the desired result. Overcorrection gives a frozen look. Doctor Bernard’s goal is to give his patients natural-looking results.

2. Hyaluronic acid fillers

Fabulous as they are, muscle relaxants shouldn’t be used under the eyes. Instead, injectable fillers can greatly improve most common under eye problems. This includes dark circles, pronounced tear troughs, sagging skin under the eyes, and hollowed skin.

Dr. Beldholm will administer natural hyaluronic acid in the tear trough area after applying anaesthetic. Results are immediate, as the area fills with the solution instantly.

Simple as it sounds, under eye fillers require an experienced injector. There are many blood vessels in the delicate eye area. The skin is also particularly thin and sensitive under the eyes. It is normal to have some swelling and darkness due to blood pooling. This may give the patient a temporary bruised appearance. This is harmless and to be expected. Mild to moderate bruising under the eyes may last ten days to two weeks, so don’t get it done right before a big event.

You must also be careful with under eye fillers because it is easy to overfill the area. You don’t want to correct a hollow under eye with too much filler. That would cause the area to bulge out unattractively. Schedule your appointment with an experienced injector to ensure best results.

3. Derma Stamp, Skin Pen, Laser, and PRP Facials

These in-office cosmetic treatments are administered by a plastic surgeon, dermal nurse, or dermatologist. They are especially useful for dark circles. However, the treatment can also improve the skin around the eyes, stimulating natural rejuvenation.

PRP, for example, uses your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate tissue repair. Skin damage actually stimulates repair. For that reason, it is a good thing to have some downtime because you know it’s working. It stimulates collagen production in your skin, strengthening and thickening the dermis. This helps the skin around your eyes look firmer and more youthful.

While there is some downtime associated with these treatments (expect to walk out a bit red and puffy, at minimum), the final results are beautiful.

You can treat your whole face, not just the eye area, if you wish for anti-aging results allover. These treatments can be paired with injectables for even better anti-aging effects.

4. Upper eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty is a facial surgery that corrects droopy upper eyelids. Loose skin above the eyes creates a sleepy appearance. For some patients, the skin hangs so low that it begins to obstruct their vision.

If sagging upper eyelid skin is bothering you, blepharoplasty surgery with Doctor Bernard can help. He will trim away the excess skin, leaving you with upper eyes that appear more firm and youthful. This is a permanent solution to droopy eyelids. Click here to check out real patient before and after blepharoplasty photos.

5. Eye creams

Walk into any drugstore or department store, and you will be faced with a bevy of eye creams. Unfortunately, most of them don’t live up to the hype…or the price tag. But some of them do work. They may not be as effective as cosmetic eye surgery, but eye creams can help make your eye area appear plumper and even slow signs of eye aging by keeping your skin healthy and moisturized.

A good eye cream will have intensive moisturizing ingredients. A great one will have peptides or a form of vitamin A called retinoids. Over-the-counter eye creams may contain retinol, a simple form of vitamin A. But retinoids are the active form of vitamin A. They are usually only available by prescription.

Eye creams may also be used to alleviate puffy eyes. In this case, you will need one with vasoconstricting ingredients. Caffeine, for example, is a vasoconstrictor. It may help tighten and reduce swelling under the eyes.

If you aren’t ready to try in-office eye rejuvenation, eye creams are your next best bet for treating nearly all signs of eye aging. Check back soon, because our next blog post will be all about eye creams!
