<h3>Our eyes and eyebrows are&nbsp;natural beauty features that help to frame our face to achieve the famous no make-up look.</h3>
A good eyebrow shape and tint really helps to give this look so you won&#8217;t have to try to draw or fill in the brows.
This is a popular treatment with both men and women. The lash lift can give you a natural boost, by lifting, conditioning, curling up which helps to open the eye giving it a brighter, more open look. Also, by tinting with the lash lift you are darkening; this helps the lashes look fuller and you won&#8217;t need to wear mascara. Your eye lashes will look very fluttery. You would even think you were wearing extensions without the damage to the natural lashes and its suitable for all ages. Even the shortest of lashes will be lifted.
The eyes and hands are some of the most important places for anti-ageing. With all the hand sanitising, it&#8217;s important to use hand cream more often. I always recommend applying just before bed so it can have time to really get to work on hydrating the hands. It&#8217;s clear from all my years of anti-ageing skincare for the face that hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient for hydration and anti-ageing. If you feel you need a boost for the hands, it&#8217;s a great idea to try a warm paraffin hand manicure which is a game changer for the hydration of the hands. SPF is essential to reduce and prevent further age spots. Use an eye cream morning and night, followed by an eye mask once a week and an eye facial once a month. Eye facials can be added into your regular facial for an extra lift.
Eyes for me are an area that needs most work as they don&#8217;t have any sebaceous glands of their own unlike the rest of the body. I often hear people saying they are allergic to eye cream, mostly it&#8217;s applied wrong or into the eye. Imagine you were looking at a skull &#8211; the bone of the eye socket is far back from the actual eye itself. You apply the eye cream on the bone area, just under the eyebrow and well under the eye using the ring finger as not to drag the skin as it&#8217;s super delicate. Use light circular motion from the inner corner under the eyebrow out to the temple lifting the brow as you go. It will drop with time and gravity, so it&#8217;s our job to encourage it to stay in place by exercising the muscle.
