Eye Firming Options
We hate to see the fine lines and wrinkles around our eyes. This common sign of aging could be delayed and reduced with certain eye firming techniques. The over-the-counter eye firming products such as eye firming creams and gels contain a number of active ingredients that help to relax the delicate muscles around the eyes, fading the unsightly puffiness and crow’s feet. Even several time-tested home remedies could reduce the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes.
Eye firming techniques
Home remedies for eye firming
Home remedies are cost effective natural eye firming methods. To relax and sooth the delicate under eye skin, you can apply cucumber juice around your eyes. To increase the effectiveness of this home remedy, add 2 to 3 drops of rose water or rose hip oil to one tablespoon of cucumber juice. Potato juice could even help to reduce the fine lines at the corner of your eye. You can firm the skin around your eyes by applying any vegetable oil to the skin around your eyes. Olive oil, almond oil, castor oil and coconut oil could be used as natural eye creams. They hydrate and moisturize the skin around your eye, keeping it soft and supple and preventing wrinkle formation.
Eye firming cream
Good quality eye firming creams usually contain antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and E and hexapeptides for firming the skin around the eyes. Hexapeptides relaxes the muscles around the eyes and reduces muscle contraction. Excess muscle contraction is usually blamed for appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Eye firming gel
Eye firming gels work in the same manner as eye firming creams. However, they are lighter than creams. Unlike the heavy eye firming creams, eye firming gels are least likely to clog the skin pores. They spread smoothly over the skin, helping your skin to breath. Eye gels are best suited for people with oily and sensitive skins. Moreover, gels could penetrate deeper into the skin, keeping the skin hydrated for a longer time.
Eye firming serum
Production of collagen and elastin, the tissues associated with smooth and firm skin, dwindles with age. Eye firming serum reduces wrinkles by promoting collagen and elastin synthesis.
