The desire to appear younger is natural. Over time, you may notice that the skin around the eye area appears to be aging. Don't worry, there are many ways to make your eyes look bright and young. Use makeup to cover wrinkles and dark spots under the eyes, and use natural remedies to reduce the risk of dry and swollen skin. In no time, your eyes will glow beautifully and look younger!
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Makeup
Step 1. Apply primer under the eyes to smooth out wrinkles
As you age, your skin will wrinkle more and more, especially around the eyes. Use your little finger to rub a small amount of primer around your eyes and the wrinkled areas in the corners of your eyes, then spread it around until it forms a smooth layer. This will help remove wrinkles and make your skin appear smoother.
- If you have dark spots under your eyes, choose a primer with a color that matches your skin tone.
- Use your little finger to apply makeup because the area around the eyes is very easy to damage and this finger is the most delicate.
- Primers are thin, moisturizing creams that you can buy at drugstores.
Step 2. Apply a yellow eyeshadow under your eyes if you have panda eyes
Choose a color that is two shades lighter than your foundation. This will help brighten your eyes and give them a smoother look. Look for a yellowish face shadow. This product will help your makeup look warmer and more natural. Apply a thin layer of polish to areas that appear dark or pale.
- Over time, the skin in the eye area will get thinner. This will make the blood vessels under the skin more visible, resulting in "panda eyes".
- You can apply the shadow even if you're not wearing foundation. Blend the cleanser you use until it mixes with the skin and looks natural. Use a brush, beauty blender, or fingers to smooth out the color of the base.
Step 3. Use eyeliner on the tip of the eyelid to make it look sharper
Over time, the skin on the eyelids tends to loosen. Use eyeliner to restore eye shape like at a young age. Apply eyeliner from the center of your lash line to the outer corner of your eye. Keep the lines thin and neat to make them look natural.
Eyeliner pencils are much easier to use and look the most natural. Choose an eyeliner that matches the color of your eyelashes. Choose black eyeliner if you want a classic and striking appearance
Step 4. Choose a solid colored eye shadow to make the lids look smooth
Avoid using thick, shiny eye shadow because it can make the creases on the eyelids clearer. Look for a light or solid-colored shade that's specifically designed for aging skin.
- Some great options are browns and tans, pale colors, and grays.
- Avoid using eye shadow with a metallic look because it can accentuate wrinkles.
Step 5. Apply mascara to your eyelashes to make them appear bigger
Big eyes will make you look younger. Apply mascara to the top and bottom of your lashes to make your eyes appear brighter and wider. Start at the bottom of your lashes and use a special brush to coat all over your lashes. If there is no noticeable difference after coating your lashes once, apply another time or two.
If your lashes don't curl naturally, use an eyelash curler to shape them before applying mascara
Step 6. Use an eyebrow pencil to thicken eyebrows that are too thin
If your eyebrows are thin and pale, your eyes will look older and wrinkled. Eyebrow pencil is the easiest solution to this problem. Choose an eyebrow pencil whose color matches the natural color of your eyebrows, then brush gently. Try to follow the natural shape of the eyebrows for a more natural look.
If you have pale eyebrows, use an eyebrow pencil to color them the same color
Method 2 of 3: Using Natural Ingredients
Step 1. Place a cold metal spoon on the bottom of the eyelids to reduce puffy skin
Put a teaspoon in a glass containing a few ice cubes to cool. Hold the spoon head under the eyelid for 3 minutes. A cold spoon will help reduce swelling of the skin so you look young and fresh.
If the spoon feels too cold, remove it from the skin and allow it to cool for a few minutes before putting it back down
Step 2. Hold a cotton swab that has been moistened with soy milk around the swollen eye
Soy milk is very effective in reducing swelling because it contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances in it. Dip a cotton swab in a glass of soy milk and squeeze it out before placing it on the closed eye area. Leave the cotton for 2 minutes on each eyelid.
- This will feel very refreshing in the morning.
- If you want it to taste fresher, chill the soy milk in the refrigerator before dipping a cotton swab in it.
Step 3. Cool down tired eyelids with ice cubes from green tea
This method brings together the benefits of ice and green tea! Boil a pot of green tea and pour it into ice cube molds once it cools down. Leave in the refrigerator overnight to freeze. In the morning, take a piece of ice and wrap it in a paper towel. Hold the ice on the eye for a few minutes until the eye feels more comfortable.
- Make this a daily routine every morning to get rid of sleepiness and make your eyes look fresh and younger.
- Never apply ice directly to the skin as it can cause sores.
Step 4. Place a slice of cucumber over the eye to reduce swelling
Vitamin C and caffeine contained in cucumbers are very effective in treating puffy eyes. Cut the cucumber into thin slices, then place it on your closed eyelids for 5-10 minutes.
For best results, let the cucumbers sit in the refrigerator for an hour before slicing them. This will make him feel comfortable and refreshing
Step 5. Apply a thin layer of coconut oil around the eye area before going to bed if the eyes are wrinkled
Coconut oil can moisturize the skin and help reduce wrinkles. Clean your face before going to bed and apply a thin layer of coconut oil to the area around the eyes. However, be careful not to get the oil in your eyes. The oil will be absorbed into the skin so that it helps nourish the skin in the morning.
- Use organic and cold-pressed oils for best results.
- Coconut oil can be replaced with almond oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil.
Step 6. Reduce salt consumption and increase iron consumption to prevent puffy eyes
Your diet has a big impact on the health of your skin. Excess salt consumption and iron deficiency make the body retain too much fluid so that the skin looks swollen. Reduce salty foods, such as fried foods, french fries, and fast food, and eat lots of red meat.
If you are a vegetarian, increase your consumption of spinach, beans and lentils
Step 7. Get 8 hours of sleep every night to reduce red eye
If your eyes are often red, you are most likely not getting enough sleep. Tired eyes don't produce as many tears so they get irritated easily. To deal with this problem, go to bed early and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep.
If your eyes don't improve after a few nights, go to your GP or optometrist for a check-up
Method 3 of 3: Skin Tightening
Step 1. Use a night cream to reduce wrinkles on the face
The night cream is specially formulated to nourish the skin overnight and smooth out fine wrinkles. When you wake up, you will feel the skin around your eyes feeling soft and moisturized. Use your little finger to apply a thin layer of cream around the eye area.
Buy a night cream from the pharmacy. If you're not sure which brand is a good one, look online for info and see product reviews or ask your friends for recommendations
Step 2. Try injecting fillers if you want your skin to look fresh
Skin filler fluid serves to temporarily increase the level of skin smoothness. An anesthetic will usually be injected into the area to be filled, then the filling fluid will be injected into the skin. The results will last for about 3-6 months, and can be extended by injecting a new dose.
- If you don't have wrinkles, use a liquid filler as a precaution.
- This treatment should not be used in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Search the internet to find the nearest dermatologist, then ask about the availability of various dermal fillers.
Step 3. Perform blepharoplasty surgery if you want to do plastic surgery
This is an extreme option, but very effective. The surgery aims to remove excess fat and skin under the eyes so that the eyes look bigger and younger. The cost of this procedure is usually IDR 150 million and cannot be paid for by insurance.
- This operation is performed under general anesthesia.
- Search the internet to find the nearest plastic surgeon who can perform this procedure.
