The eyes are the first area where we notice the first signs of ageing so why do we treat them with little respect. I was reminded of this by sitting on a train and observing a women putting concealer under her eyes and then rubbing with all the vigor of cleaning the kitchen sink. I wanted to yell “Stop! your eyes will have more lines than Waterloo station.
We are all in such a rush these days, but treating the eye area should never be rushed. Pat! Pat! Pat! Never, ever rub, you’ll be wondering why all these lines have appeared suddenly. Take time to take your eye make up off gently. When I wear mascara, I dip a Q Tip in solution and just gently brush my eye lashes until the tip is clear. Yes, it takes forever but I am not rubbing the eye area and making it it feel tender, then I carefully swipe the rest off. Invest some time in this and you will reap the rewards. I have very little lines under my eyes and I am convinced it is because I have followed this regime.
Also, always put good eye cream on, start this regime in your twenties. Put Bio oil on at night around the corner eye area where crow’s feet first start appearing and wear sunglasses in the summer.
Repeat after me…Pat! Pat!
