The first place that skin ageing becomes noticeable, for many women, is the eyes. Wrinkles and fine lines, sometimes called crows feet, form around the eyes and you first start to notice puffiness and skin sagging under the eyes as well as dark circles. And for this reason, because the eyes are the first place to show the signs of skin ageing, the first anti aging product that you should consider is a high quality eye anti aging cream.

There are a range of causes of eye wrinkles, eye puffiness and bagging under the eyes. Some of these causes are unique to the skin around the eyes and some are the same causes that result in the signs of skin ageing over your entire face. An example of one of the causes of skin ageing around the eyes is a decline in the ability of the skin to drain fluid and as a result fluid builds up under the eyes causing bags and puffiness.

The most likely cause of general skin wrinkles is the loss of skin elasticity that is caused by a reduced ability in the skin to restore levels of collagen and elastin as your skin ages. This reduces skin elasticity and results in wrinkles.  Read more...
