A hint of fine lines adds character and beauty to your eyes as you age. But how do you ensure they don't turn to unsightly wrinkles or lead to pigmentation? The skin around the eyes is very thin and devoid of oil glands. This makes it slightly more vulnerable to ageing. The skin is not supplied by the lymphatic system that is responsible for draining fluids and toxins out of the body. This makes it prone to fluid retention and build-up of toxins, says Dr Aparna Santhanam, Mumbai-based dermatologist and consultant to Kaya Skin Clinic. Net result: puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles.
Here are some simple practices that will keep your peepers smiling with youthful zest.
