Why is this important? With 22 muscles and 1000 blinks per day, the gaze is the most expressive area of the face. So the one that wrinkles and tires the fastest. Result:expression lines, but also puffiness and dark circles... which make us take +10 years (even when we are 25).
I'll get to it right away:counteract your expression lines
When you apply a treatment, do this mini-gym that smoothes the furrows:with your index fingers, caress the contour of the eye starting from the top of the cheekbone towards the inner hollow of the eye. The idea is to smooth, not in the direction of the furrows, but perpendicularly, to "force" them to relax.

Why is this important? UV and infrared are the main causes of DNA damage. Understand:they are responsible for premature aging. Worse:they speed it up. Exposing yourself without (enough) protection is to risk, from the age of 30, starting the process of loss of elasticity, sagging, wrinkles, brown spots...
I'll get to it right away:adopt an SPF filter + an anti-free radical
We use an SPF 50 daily. At worst, we find a treatment, a foundation or a "BB cream" that contains a filter (at least) SPF15. Casually, it protects against the harmful effects of the sun (which shines even in winter and in the city) and it screens against pollution, which is also responsible for skin aging. Regarding the fight against infrared, o, slip a super anti-oxidant serum, under its moisturizer.

Why is this important? Poorly or insufficiently hydrated skin ages and wrinkles more quickly. Normal, if it lacks water, or if the skin barrier is not "watertight" enough, it becomes dehydrated, "shrivels up" and is no longer sufficiently protected from external attacks (=wrinkled apple).
I'll get to it right away:apply a cream with hyaluronic acid
Active "star" of cosmetics and key component of the skin, hyaluronic acid gives a plump, youthful and plump appearance. However, its rate decreases with age. We therefore work on prevention by adopting it on a daily basis via a treatment. Bonus:it effectively delays the appearance of wrinkles AND it acts instantly:the furrows are filled in, the skin is fresh and smoothed.
