Eyes are The Doors to Our Soul

How to Prevent Eye Wrinkles?

Genes:

• Some people age more gracefully than others. While scientists are still searching of how genetics influence the aging process, they are also discovering how much of your lifestyle choices can affect your genes. Your genes only govern 30 percent of how you age; the other 70 percent is up to YOU!

Sun:

• Protect your skin from the sun. This means, wearing sunscreen helps! As you get older, the genes that control inflammation, the production and strength of collagen, and your skin’s ability to retain water begin to behave in a way that encourages the formation of wrinkles.

Antioxidants:

• Eat drink and slather on the antioxidants. When UV rays are absorbed by your skin, they create free radicals, which are volatile molecules. Those free radicals can latch onto your DNA and cause the mutations that cause wrinkles. Antioxidants help your body defend against free radicals. Combat wrinkles by eating foods and drinking beverages that contain antioxidants (pomegranates, acai, blueberries, green tea) and using creams or moisturizers that contain them.

Sunglasses:

• Wear sunglasses regularly when expose to sun. Remember that cheap shades can be harmful to your eyes. However, if you are wearing it as a fashion statement you can go ahead and buy them. To protect your eyes it is best to buy something reliable. Not only will wearing sunglasses protect the delicate skin around your eyes from the sun, but it’ll also help prevent squinting, which directly contributes to wrinkling!

Sleep on your back:

• I try to sleep on my back, however it can be quite difficult since I always toss and turn. But, it is good to sleep on your back because it prevents sleep lines, which can eventually turn into wrinkles!

Quit Smoking:

• Heavy smokers are almost five times more likely to show excessive wrinkling than nonsmokers! No kidding! This is because smoking can damage collagen, and the squinting and lip pursing that comes with smoking directly create wrinkles over time. Smokers, let’s quit before you get these lines under your eyes!

Facial expression:

• More animated expressions mean more creases, and creases eventually become wrinkles. This is quite difficult to do, but try to do away with frowning, eyebrow raising, and squinting. Repeated facial movements lead to wrinkles. At first, the wrinkles will only appear when you make the movement. Over time, the wrinkles will remain there even when your face is relaxed. Stay smiling and continue laughing though! A genuine smile causes crow’s feet around your eyes, but the power of sincere joy against wrinkles may be stronger than the effects of not smiling!

Stay happy:

• Staying happy and having optimistic, laid back life helps prevent wrinkles. At the very least, it’ll help you not care so much about the wrinkles!

Apply eye cream

• Apply moisturizer to the eye area daily. I usually apply my Nu-Skin Intensive Eye Complex every morning and before I sleep.  It helps moisturize dry skin, and prevents getting wrinkles.

How to Apply Eye Cream?

Nu Skin Eye Cream

Here are steps for applying eye cream:

Step 1: Wash your face and hands. You want to be extra careful when touching the skin around your eyes.

Step 2: Be gentle on your skin. Remember that the area around your eyes is very sensitive.

DO NOT: Rub, scratch or press on the eye area.

Step 3: Put a small drop of eye gel or cream onto your ring finger as it is your weakest finger. You want the least amount of pressure when patting the delicate skin around your eyes.

Step 4: Using a dabbing motion, dot the eye gel or cream around the circumference of your eye, following the natural curve of the bone.

Exercise for Eyes

Exercises to Tighten Skin

1. Push two fingers against your temple making sure that the skin is tautly stretched. Now open and close your eyes in quick succession. Do it minimum five times a day and see the difference within months.
2. Sit in an upright position with your head held rigidly. Now look straight and then up and down. Do it for at least 10 times. Then switch to looking left and right and do that 10 times as well. During your exercise make sure your head is rigid.

Cosmetic Surgery Face Lift

Eyeball tattoos are created by a tattoo artist who injects pigment into the eyeball. It has been known and done now for over 2000 years. These days it is done less because of contact lenses. However, not everyone can wear contact lenses, and not everyone wants their eyeball popped out even if it is blind. For this reason some people started to tattoo their eyeballs. However, Ophthalmologists say eyeball tattoos for the purpose of body modification are dangerous and could lead to infection, perforation, hemorrhages or even blindness!

Many women dream to have Angelina Jolie’s juicy lips. If you’re not satisfy with your thin lip, it can be augmented with your own tissue (fat, anadesma), with implantation of an artificial material (collagen, hyaluron acid) or by a surgery using the tissue in vicinity of the lip. However, choosing the right surgeon matters a lot! You do not want to end up looking like a silly silicon doll:

Are you still dealing with a bikini bumps? If so, ever thought of doing laser hair removal.And it’s probably cheaper than waxing over a life time! However, if you choose to stick with your razor then remember NOT to use the razor you are now still using. If you are going to shave, Dr. David Colbert, founder of the New York Dermatology Group, recommends to purchase man’s razor.

“But, a lot of times, a man’s blade will work better because a woman’s blade is dulled down.”

After shaving, always remember to apply moisturizer. Applying moisturizer helps the razor glide over the skin. It also moisturizes the skin and it soothes the irritated skin during and after the shave. You probably have to shave in every 3 or 4 days- which for some woman is annoying. However, there are now many girls who chooses to use laser hair removal and no longer have to worry about shaving or about getting bikini bumps anymore!

While enjoying a cup of coffee at a nice, cozy coffee shop, two girls sat behind me gossiping about their lives, boys, and most importantly how their new eyelids and nose has made them more attractive and confident. As I was listening to the two 18 years-old girl commenting on each other’s new look got me interested in this topic, “plastic surgery.” Eyelid jobs and nose job is probably one of the most common surgical procedures, and plastic surgery is growing in popularity each year! Not only women are having cosmetic surgery, men are also participating in it too!
Here I am sitting in front of the computer, thinking what forms of surgery I should do? Should I do something for my eyes? nose? or my breasts? I want to make myself feel more confident and younger. So, I googled a couple of websites and finally found one that I am most satisfied with. Spending hours reading their website, ThaiMed, the cosmetic surgery has known to be well-done with most procedures are a bargain for Australians, North Americans, Europeans, Kiwis and other Asians. Also, selecting a plastic surgeon is the most important step of all. ThaiMed seems to have the best and most qualified surgeon that will help you feel and look the best. What inspires me most is the ThaiMed Medical Tour Package which includes everything! A nice hotel accommodation, a mini-spa package, and more. I also compared the prices with other hospitals and I found ThaiMed to be the leading one so far! I shared this information with some of my girl-friends, and they are excited to make a trip to Thailand for a nice holiday and a well-done surgery that will make them feel younger when they return. There are many more cosmetic surgeries that are done at ThaiMed, if you wish to know more check out ThaiMed for more information!
