Revitol eye creamMost people try and make the most of themselves and the eyes are always a key element as this is where most people look when talking to each other. Here you will find ten great suggestions to how to make your eyes look their best.

1. Use a quality eye cream. There are many of these about and by quality, I don’t mean the most expensive. Just do your research and look for the best you can afford.

2. Strive for perfect eyebrows. You will need to discover the best technique to do this yourself (try this page on eyebrow shaping), or simply go to the beauty parlor and have someone do it for you.

3. Highlight your lashes with a lash curler and mascara. Lash curlers come as a standard or in a heated form for maximum curl but avoid leaving them on for too long or you may burn your lashes! Experiment for the best effect. As for mascara, it is the brush that is key for maximizing volume and length. If you have very short or sparse lashes, you may want to invest in semi permanent lashes for those special occasions, lash extensions or perhaps an eyelash growth product.

4. Wearing sunglasses that suit your face rather than those that are the most fashionable can do wonders for your looks. They will also stop you squinting!

5. Eat foods rich in Vitamin K as this has been shown to help reduce bruising and there are suggestions it may help with dark circles around the eyes. Eye creams typically include vitamin K and retinol that work together to help repair and strengthen the sensitive skin around the eyes.

6. Rest cucumbers or tea bags on your eyes for at least 20 minutes to give your eyes a refreshing lift and help banish any puffiness around the eyes.

7. Rose water is a good cheap option to help soothe tired eyes. Add a couple of drops to some very cold water and dip a cotton pad in it. Squeeze out the excess and place on your eyes for a few minutes. Repeat this three or four times.

8. Never keep rubbing your eyes. Not only does this make your yes red and sore, you can rub off your eyelashes! This may be fine if you are young as they regenerate faster, but as we age, the regeneration slows down a bit and the regrowth may not be as good.

9. Sleep on silk pillowcase or a silk scarf. Not only does silk feel wonderful on the skin, it is particularly effective at helping to prevent those fine lines around the eyes in the morning!

10. Always get a full night’s rest. This is probably one of the most fundamental things you can do for your whole body, but it is particularly important to rest to have crystal clear and sparkling eyes.

For many, there’s no better feature than beautiful eyes. Look after them so they can continue to look great and keep healthy.
