Under eye wrinkles are usually the first wrinkles to appear on a face. They come from exposure to sun damage, laughing, and loss of skin elasticity. Combating under eye wrinkles is fairly easy and inexpensive. There’s no need to buy expensive jells and creams. Most of what you need can be found either in your home or at the local drugstore.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Lotion with SPF
  • Hemorrhoid cream
  • Moisturizing soap
  • Egg and honey

Step1
First, if you aren’t already, use a good moisturizer with SPF that guards against a variety of spectrums of light. The moisturizer will create a barrier between your skin and pollutants and the elements, as well as protect it from the sun.
Another good combatant is moisturizing soap. Regular soap can dry the under eye area and make it the skin have a paper-like texture.
Step2
A popular choice of hemorrhoid cream-Copyright Wyeth Consumer Healthcare Next, try using some hemorrhoid cream on the area around your eye. Yes, this may sound strange, but many women swear by it. Hemorrhoid cream works by shrinking the skin, pulling it tight, so it makes sense that it would work on the eyes.
Step3
You can make your own anti-aging mask for the eyes by combining one egg yolk and two tsp. of honey in a bowel. Apply to the under eye area while avoiding the inner eye.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure that you do not get creams in your eyes and if you do, read the directions on the tube to get it out.
  • Hemorrhoid cream may irritate sensitive skin.
  • If you are allergic to honey or eggs do not try the mask.
