Under Eyes
Upper eyelid exposure
Contrast
Health Indicators (Fine Lines, White Sclera, Elasticity, Skin Aging)
Eyebrows and eyelashes
Under Eyes:
Disclaimer: If bad under eyes are caused by Infra Orbital implants there isint a permanent fix without surgical intervention (Implants and Fat Graphing).
Besides Hardmaxxing, first you have to see whether you have puffy or hollow eye bags
For puffy eye bags:
Apply a caffeine serum.
Good ones include the ordinary and cerave
Apply it 2x Daily at a pea sized amount to reduce puffiness and dark circles under your eyes.
(Results are usually shown within a few days to a weeks time)
For Hollow eye bags:
Get a cream or serum that stimulates the production of fat cells (Volufiline, Adipofill’in).
Good ones include SEDERMA 100 percent volufiline
Apply 1-2 drops nightly over the under eyes to stimulate the production of fat cells and give more leveled out under eyes.
(Results from volufiline usually show after 10-14 weeks)
For fine lines:
The use of vitamin A derivatives (retinoids) can promote cell turnover in the under eyes and give a more youthful look.
Examples of retinoids that can be used for under eyes are: Low dose isotretinoin (5-20mg), tretinoin (0.025 - the skin in the under eyes is sensitive so don’t use higher concentrations) or normal retinol (Cerave, Ordinary)
For application of creams/serums an extremely small drop that just coats your under eyes is good enough and for application of isotretinoin have it during dinner with a high fat meal.
(Results from retinols tend to take longer around 10-12 weeks+).
Upper Eyelid Exposure (UUE):
Disclaimer: Recessed supra orbital rims can not be fixed without surgical intervention like bone graphs or implants
Other than fillers, graphs and implants the only known way to decrease upper eyelid exposure is through increasing fat to cover the upper eyelid.
Other than physically increasing fat another way to hide UUE is through volufiline by promoting an increase of fat cells in the brow ridge to cover your upper eyelid
Examples: SEDERMA 100 percent Volufiline, The ordinary 100 percent Volufiline
Apply 1-2 drops on your brow ridge between your eyelid and eyebrows nightly
(Results should take around 10-12 weeks or more of consistent use)
Contrast:
Contrast between your eye area and the rest of your face can give you a more sharp and noticeable look which increases your perception.
Eyebrow Dye:
One way to increase contrast is through using an eyebrow dye - 1 to 2 shades darker then your natural color
Follow the instructions on the box you bought and apply it for 5-10 minutes before washing it off
Re- apply every 2-4 weeks once the color starts to fade away
Coloured Contacts:
Another way to contrast is through changing the color of your iris
Use morphs and edit your face with filters to find a suitable eye color that matches your face
Use lubricating drops in case of dryness in the eyes
Health Indicators:
Sleep
You need to be getting an optimal 8-9 hours of sleep everyday to stop chronic sleep deprivation. Chronic sleep deprivation can cause: Under eye aging, Fine lines to form, reduced elasticity of the skin around the eye and pigmentation around the eyes.
UV protection
Not wearing sunscreen can cause UV damage to the skin around the eyes, this can speed up skin aging, reduce elasticity and cause hyperpigmentation.
White Scleras
Brimonidine tartrate is an active ingredient that helps relief redness in the eyes. This is found in Lumify eye drops and is found to be extremely good at reducing eye redness and make the Scleras look clear and white. Sclera clearness is a big health indicator and keeping them white can make your eye area look more youthful and healthy.
You can use 1-2 drops of Lumify (Brimonidine tartrate 0.025 percent) 4 times per day
Can cause dryness so use lubricating eyedrops over night
Collagen production + supplementation
Taking supplements like Collagen peptides, MSM, Omega 3 and vitamin c are shown to improve skin texture around the body including the eyes. This means it can give your eyes a more youthful look and increase elasticity of the skin around it.
Other way to increase collagen is through vitamin A derived retinoids and collagen serums
Eg: Tretinoin, Isotretinoin and Simple collagen increasing creams (Cerave, Ordinary etc.)
Eyebrows and Eyelashes:
Eyelashes
Bimatoprost is a medication that can be used to grow eyelashes by a large scale.
Bimatoprost 0.03% is commonly found in Lumigan
You can apply bimatoprost through using a small brush or cotton swab and gently covering the upper and lower lash line and then wiping any excess. Try to avoid letting it go into your eye.
Use 1-2x daily
(Takes around 5+ weeks for notable results)
