Sagging Lids

Posted by admin on April 29th, 2009

As collagen, elastin, and fat decrease with age, eyelids get droopier. “Genetics determine when your skin will sag and to what extent. “And like any skin aging, sun exposure hastens the effect”. As a result, some women have sagging in thier late 30s.

To the Rescue: No eye cream alone will reverse sagging once the skin begins its downward slide. Only surgery gives you truly long-term improvement. But artfully appiled eye makeup can make drooping lids less noticeable. “The trick is to define the lashline and neutralize the lid. Apply a light, nude-colored shadow ( like cream or mocha, depending on your skin tone) from your lashes to your brow. Next, dip a liner brush, in a gray, brown, or black shadow, and apply colour as close to the base of the top lashes as possible. “Shadow creates a softer, more natural look than a pencil liner. Finish with dark-brown or black mascara.

Dark circles

When blood vessels show through the shin, they can give the eye area a bluish cast. “Since the skin becomes more translucent with age, blood vessels appear more prominent”. A less common cause of darkness: post inflammatory hyperigmentation, doctor speak for clusters of brown pigment that collect underneath the eyes dye to heredity or chronic rubbing ( often because of allergies or bothersome contact lenses).

To the Rescue: Daily use of any basic eye cream will temporarily plump skin so blood vessels are less visible. Eye creams are better choice for this purpose than regular face creams, because they tend to have a higher concentration of emollients for plumping and a thicker texture, which makes them adhere to the ever-mobile eye area. To improve the look of brown pigment, try an eye cream with botanical skin lighteners like licorice and kojic acid.
