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.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Lotion with SPF
  • Hemorrhoid cream
  • Moisturizing soap
  • Egg and honey
  1. Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    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
  • Apply lotions, creams and masks in a gentle circular motion to avoid pulling the skin and making wrinkles worse.
  • 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.

on 5/31/2008 Hi,
I started developing pretty bad facial wrinkles after I crossed 35. I was pretty upset about it as I really didn't whink my skin would start degrading in my 30s. I tried altering my diet, took a lot of dark coloured vegetables such as beetroot and tomatoes as these were supposed to be good for wrinkles and also drank plenty of water. It didn't really work though and my Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Debrassion treatment to fade out my wrinkles. I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed that she got rid of her wrinkles using a particular anti-wrinkle product. I tried it and it worked really well. Within 4 weeks my wrinkles had faded out and were barely visible. Really good stuff. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below.
