you're like stars
what would one use/do to help reduce the little sagginess in their eyelids/under their eyebrows? It almost looks like a combo of being puffy and sagging.. I am really not enjoying this getting older shizz.. I feel like my body is aging like it would if I were 40 :p this is whack. But are there like.. eyelid lotions? or is there something else I should do?.. like sticking icecubes on my eyes for 10 minutes a day haha.. I don't know?
 
Yeah, I feel you here. I feel like I am looking older, but since I still get pimples, I can't use the aging creams. Its a nice Catch 22.
 
I remember seeing something about it on a talk show. Maybe use preparation H? LOL I dont know really. I see women in the spas putting cucumber slices on their eyes so maybe that helps? And apparently applying tea bags will help reduce puffiness so you could try that?
 
There really is no magic over night cure. I didn't use anything because I never needed it, and now I wish I had taken care of my eyes. I really might have an eye lift one day, but the rest of my skin is ok...not too saggy. I have oily skin which has helped keep it nice and weight on an older person keeps the skin tighter too. The product ROC (got it at Costco) was recommended to me. I have the day and night one for my face...I'm still not using anything on my eyes though. My eyes are sensitive and everything makes them itch!
 
La, i'm no enjoying this getting older shizz either. i'm 31 and am in denial. i don't feel 31; i still feel 'young'. i don't think i have any wrinkles yet, or gray hair, but i'm blonde and color color regularly so maybe i'm not seeing them if they are there. i don't think i have any issues with saggy eyes. i still get pimples! hate that, but its better than wrinkles. atleast zits go away, lol. there are tons of anti aging, saggy eye stuff out there but a lot are pricey and i don't know which ones work. OLAY seems to be pretty popular?
 
La, you just offended the store owner and one of your CTMs in one fell swoop. Damn, you're good LOL.

I noticed my eyes are suddenly horrible. I have aged at least 5 years in the past two months due to stress. I hate it. I heard the Regenerist stuff is good by Olay. I need to get something too.
 
Ok, don't feel bad-I get it the opposite. I am 33 years old and I was carded at the theatre yesterday when I went to see New Moon. What are the odds? I was in a sweatshirt and jeans w/out shower and make-up. Perhaps I may like this when I am 50, but it was totally humiliating.
 
LOL!

La, I'd advice to use a "light" eye cream. "Light" as not too oily, you don't need that yet. I don't know if you have that in the US, but I used to use Nivea "Aqua Sensation" and loved it. Really fresh and easy to apply.

Ainwena, sorry, but I can't help! LOL Maybe stop sleeping to look more tired and hence older? LMAO
 
i have seen it in my eyes as well. i think it was all the pulling from putting contacts in and out and not to mention my smoking habit years back.

eye cream - start now. every night. i use oil of olay. i forget the name... i did use the aveda eye cream, but it is too heavy & would smear my contacts the next morning.
 
Bless your heart baby girl! I like that line I feel like my body is aging like it would if I were 40 .
Well 40 was a L O N G time ago for me, LOL.

There is a night cream, called OBAGI, for use around the eyes. Sold at doctor's offices. The jar is small and about $100. It lasts almost a year.
Other than that, drink a lot of water, get fresh air, and exercise regularly.
The oil of olay products are pretty good too.

I don't mind getter older at all, sure beats the alternative.:p

La you better find a shovel and start digging....

I'm pushing 40, I'm just trying to not look too close to the mirror...ignorance is bliss :p

Me too! Its such a pain - but their is a silver lining of sorts to still getting pimples, 'cos apparently we will age much better and look less wrinkly! I read it somewhere so it must be true ;)

So there's one answer to the problem, ladies - get spots and you get fewer wrinkles!

As for the bags under your eyes - lots of concealer, as it works for the bags and spots, so two uses in one :p

One more tip: don't wear glasses when you look in the mirror - it works miracles for me.
 
If you think the bags are bad, La, wait until "the girls" start heading south. Yep, it's all downhill after that.
 
lol oh my boobs are already sagging.. I gave up hope on them long ago. thanks for the tips girls.. oh btw they're not UNDER my eyes they're like under my eyebrows-- so def old sag not la never sleeps sag. Such is life.. i do still get carded for everything, but I think that had more to do with my pink hair than than "youthfulness"..cause well.. I dont see a 15 yr old anymore :p
 
oh pssht all of you stop it LOL.. I didn't m ean 40=saggy.. I mean you start to deal with this stuff at 40.. I prolly have more grey hair than most of you :p
 
Well, I'm pushing 60 and I figured out a long time ago that there are way worse things in life than getting old....once everything starts heading south theres no point in fighting it anyway, lol. Just try and do it as gracefully as possible :D
