The Eyes Have It

When it comes to a tendency to betray some secrets such as your age, your heredity, or how you take care of yourself, the eyes have it. Well, maybe not the eyes themselves, but the delicate skin around the eyes can certainly reveal more than you’d like them to. Those fine lines, the skin sags, the “bags” caused by fluid or fat buildup, and those raccoon circles under the eyes are all dead giveaways of things in your life that you might prefer to keep under wraps.

We blame a lot of our beauty problems on getting older, and age does have an influence on the eye area, but other factors can also cause problems. Fatigue, hormones, diet (especially salt), tobacco, alcohol, and allergies are some of the culprits that can lead to those lines, sags, bags, and circles. Your sleep habits affect the eye area, too. Too much sleep as well as too little sleep will leave your eye area looking worn out and older, especially right after you wake up. Even gravity works against you, but there’s not much you can do about that - at least not until space travel becomes a reality.

You don’t have to just stand by and let your face continue to betray you. You can make a two-pronged attack to end the subterfuge by working from the inside and the outside to bring back a more youthful appearance to the important and all-too-visible eye area. The first thing to do is get your lifestyle under control so that the factors mentioned above can’t take their toll on your appearance. Lifestyle changes can be difficult, but the second line of attack is easier: a daily regimen using Gratiae’s Replenishing Eye Serum and Eye Cream. Each of these products is pretty wonderful on its own to revitalize and rejuvenate the eye area, but when you use them together as recommended, you won’t believe your eyes!
