The area of skin around the eyes is the first place where signs of aging begin to appear and it is not surprising therefore that when we try to estimate someone's age, the appearance of the skin around the eye area is always one of the key factors.

The skin around the eye has its own special characteristics:

• It is highly prone to dryness as there are few sebaceous glands.

• It is much thinner and more sensitive than other facial skin.

• Beneath it there is a dense capillary network and because there is minimal fat padding, the slightest leakage can be observed as a dark bluish area and thus in many instances the reason for those dark circles under the eyes.

• Frequent squinting and other eye movements can have a long lasting effect.

• The periorbital tissues can become swollen immediately after waking, perhaps due to the gravitational redistribution of fluid in the horizontal position and could in some cases be the reason for those bags under the eyes or puffy eyes.

In your mid thirties you will probably have more fine lines, more prominent dark circles around the eyes or bags under the eyes than a twenty five year old will and as time goes by you will probably like most of us start to see the situation becoming more and more noticeable.

So, if you want to keep looking younger for longer, it is usually not enough just to take care of your skin in general, you need to pay particular attention to the skin around the eyes so as to slow down the natural tendency for it to age faster than anywhere else on your face.

Unfortunately With the busy lives we lead, the area of skin around the eye is rarely given the special attention it needs, whilst moisturising is important an ordinary moisturiser will not reduce the effects of dark eye circles or puffy eyes.

Anti aging eye creams are more beneficial than a normal facial moisturizer as they are specifically manufactured to help replenish and support the skin cells around the eyes without causing irritation or damage to the delicate skin tissue.

Preferably when you are choosing the best eye wrinkle cream, you should choose one that can provide you with one or more of the following benefits:

• Improves overall appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and around the eye area.

• Hydrates the skin to give you a smooth and plumped up look.

• Decreases the puffiness around the sensitive eye areas.

• Strengthen the small blood vessels around your eyes.

• Reduces dark circles around your eyes.

• Revives tired and fatigued looking eyelid areas to give you a more vibrant appearance.

Note that the best under eye wrinkle cream cannot be determined overnight. It's only through experiment that you can find the best skin care product that suits you in particular bearing in mind that everyone is different, different skin types, different problems and different reactions etc.... However, if you are prepared to sample various products to test their effectiveness, there is no doubt that you will find something eventually that is just right for you.

Meanwhile never compare yourself with the air-brushed beauties we see on TV and in the films, just be happy being you, a beautiful 35, 45, 55 or whatever, for no one can turn back time all that we can do is to ensure that it has the least effect possible on the appearance of our skin.
