Male Grooming: How To Care For Your Eyes

Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Rest your eyes

Tiredness, poor eyesight and long hours in front of a computer can all contribute to puffy, tired looking eyes. Get a good night's sleep of at least 8 hours as often as possible. When you're working at a computer, take a short break every twenty minutes to give your eyes a rest. Also consider getting your eyes tested - if you are straining your eyes to see things, they will look and feel tired more quickly.

Step 3: Wash your face

Begin by washing your face with a face wash or gentle soap. Take care around the eyes, don't rub them or stretch the skin. Dry your face by patting with the towel rather than rubbing.

Step 4: Apply the cream

Apply a small amount of eye cream using the tips of your fingers. Start on the outside of the eye, and apply gently towards the nose around the contour of the eye. From the nose, circle outwards over the top of the eye. This circling motion helps to disperse the blood that has gathered around the eye which causes the dark shadows. Continue making circles around the eye until the cream is absorbed.

Step 5: Throughout the day

The skin around the eyes is very delicate. Even if you feel tired during the day, don't rub or scrunch up your eyes as this will increase your chances of wrinkles. Instead try splashing your face with cold water and pat dry with a towel.

Step 6: Tea Bags

Tea contains anti-oxidants which combat the free radicals that can increase signs of ageing. Next time you brew a cup of tea, keep two tea bags and store them in a glass with a little water next to your bed. When you go to bed, apply the cold tea bags to your eyes and leave them for 10 minutes or so. You can re-use the same tea bags once or twice.
