Your eyes are usually the first feature people (and boys!) notice about you. Your eyes are also the first place to show signs of visible aging when fine lines and droopy eyelids appear.Your eyes can also tell you a lot about a person and can reflect their general state of health.If you have very bloodshot or very red eyes: This can just be the result of overwork in front of a computer, long hours watching tv or lack of sleep. Or a sign you are very dehydrated - hence the heinous red eyes the morning after a big night out! - ed.
If your eyes are more puffy and sensitive, this can reflect a variety of problems including an allergic reaction, immune deficiencies and lymph blockages.
Fennel is highly praised for its properties in eye care. Make a weal lukewarm infusion of fennel & water and use it as a compress to refresh and soothe tired & irritated eyes.
If the redness is occuring mainly on your eye-lid, creams with vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 are best to combat this. The herb Bilberry can be a great help to eyes, due to its antioxident actions in the retina at the rods and cones level so look out for products with these ingrediants.My eyes are always really red first thing in the morning and although they get better as the day goes on, how can I wake up bright eyed?
A - Make sure you have removed EVERY trace of eye makeup before you go to sleep, this means using a seperate eye makeup remover, not just your cleanser/ general makeup remover.
Also replenish your eyes with a good eye cream and make sure you have drunk enough water (keep a bottle by your bed) before you drift off!!
It sounds like an old wives tale ...but cooled teabags (normal tea - not herbal teas) are great for soothing tired eyes! Seems a bit gross but really works!
Buy good sunglasses and wear them! Sun exposure and damage from UV rays is the main culprit in wrinkles around your eyes and signs of aging.
