Did you get enough sleep last night? If you didn’t, you’re probably reaching for the coffee to give you a little pep in your step to make it through your busy day. But will your eyes tell others you’re tired? The eyes can say a lot – especially if there are wrinkles under them. Find out some quick home remedies that can help temporarily, and learn how Dr. Davis can help you get rid of undereye wrinkles – for good.
Temporary Treatments for Undereye Wrinkles
1. Egg White Mask. Sounds weird? Maybe, but it works. Here’s how: Egg white contains the critical protein collagen. Collagen can help fill in undereye wrinkles and tighten the skin, which leaves your undereye area looking smoother and your skin looking great. Here’s a quick recipe: Whisk two egg whites until frothy. Rub the whites on the skin under your eyes and allow to dry. Rinse off and pat skin dry.
2. Rosemary Oil. Rosemary oil can help stimulate blood flow, which helps to get rid of free radicals from your skin. These free radicals cause collagen to break down. Stimulated blood flow will make you more alert and feel more awake. We suggest rubbing the rosemary oil gently from the inside corner of your eye to the outside near your temple. Then rub back toward your nose. Repeat three to four times.
3. Cucumber. You’ve probably seen cucumber slices on the eyes to help reduce puffiness, but what about cucumber puree? Blend cucumber in a blender and smooth over the eye area. Let sit for 15 minutes. Why does cucumber work? It is full of hydration that can help put moisture back into the skin.
4. Avocado. We love avocados: on toast, on tacos and, of course, in chips and guac. But we love them on our eyes too. Avocados can fight undereye wrinkles because they contain carotenoids that can help reduce those collagen-damaging free radicals. They are also chock full of vitamin C and E, two ingredients famous for fighting wrinkles.
5. Blepharoplasty. This is where Dr. Davis comes in. Dr. Davis can perform blepharoplasty, a cosmetic surgical procedure that can lift drooping eyelids – upper or lower – and smooth out wrinkles. The result is a more alert and youthful appearance.
