It should come as no surprise that many women start to notice signs of aging in the eye area first. These signs show up as crows feet, dark circles, sagging and puffiness.

One reason for this is that we look at eyes more than any other part of the face. But there’s another, physiological reason: the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on the body.

With less protective collagen and elastin (two proteins that help form connective tissue), this delicate skin tends to show its age earlier in life. Plus, people often neglect to apply sunscreen to this area for fear of irritation.

Happily, there are simple steps you can take to help keep lines, puffy eyes and dark circles at bay.

Wear sunscreen and stop smoking!

Two of the worst things for your skin are UV rays and tobacco. So steer clear of cigarettes and the sun.

When you cannot avoid the sun, make sure to wear hats and protective clothing and layer on the SPF.

Use specially formulated eye products in the eye area.

It is important to use products specifically designed for the delicate skin in the eye area. Some regular moisturizers contain ingredients that are far too harsh for the delicate eye area. Be sure to apply gently with your ring finger because you can do more harm than good if you tug on this skin repeatedly over time.

Use products to combat these signs of aging around your eyes.

It’s simply not fair: some people are genetically disposed to discolored skin under their eyes, no matter how healthy and well rested they are. For anyone with chronic or occasional dark circles, there’s good news: Avon has some products that will help.

Apply cool teabags or cucumber slices to puffy eyes to reduce swelling.

A few good anti-swelling habits to keep in mind as well: try to steer clear of alcohol and salt, and sleep seven to eight hours a night. These steps will help ensure that you don’t retain excess water under your eyes and elsewhere.

Consider options for lifting skin around the eyes.

One of the key signs of aging on your face is skin around the eye area that needs a lift. But there are several options to improve those bags under your eyes and drooping eyelids.

If you dream of an eye or brow lift but not sure you want to make a surgical commitment, consider less invasive options including thermal lifts, which tighten the skin using heat, and injectable cosmetic fillers that reduce sunken eye appearance.
