The canons of beauty are changeable, just like fashion. Everyone has their own ideal of perfection, which can change over the years. Some people like slanted eyes, while others prefer round eyes with long eyelashes. But everyone is attracted by his brilliant, sparkling gaze. Everyone wants to have a healthy sparkle in their eyes, regardless of age. Preserving beauty and youth is not easy these days. Constant work at the computer, daily nervous stress, fatigue, air pollution, poor nutrition - all this leads to premature aging of the skin and the loss of its former sparkling look.
How to restore shine to your eyes?
But everything is in our hands. Despite the lack of time and constant worries, you can perform the necessary procedures every day to restore youth and maintain vigor.
All we need is the means at hand, a great desire and a little skill. Here are some tips for regular care:
- Let's start with the usual water procedures that we carry out regularly. It is necessary to make it a rule to do eye baths every day. It's better to do them in the evening before bed. Pour some warm water into a basin and blink your eyes in it for a few seconds - this will help relieve fatigue and cleanse your eyes. Many believe that this will help wash away the negative energy accumulated during the day. This is the easiest way to restore shine and shine to your eyes.
- Another rule is to give your eyes more rest. Try not to overexert yourself on the computer or TV. Use any free minute to your advantage. Do simple gymnastics: close your eyes for a second, then open them and blink frequently for 10 seconds. This will help not only give your eyes their former brightness, but also preserve vision.
- Don't forget about proper sleep. It will definitely return sparkle to your eyes and healthy appearance to your skin.
Compresses for eyes and eyelids
Let's move on to procedures that can be done at will or as needed. Here are several options for compresses and masks that will help restore youth to the skin around the eyes and get rid of unnecessary wrinkles.
- Take fresh potatoes and grate them on a fine grater. Wrap the resulting mass in gauze and place it on your eyes. Keep it until the juice dries. Potatoes have the ability to smooth out wrinkles. The mask is made infrequently.
- We use regular milk at room temperature. Soak cotton pads in them and place them on your closed eyes for about five minutes.
- To relieve swelling you will need parsley. Grind a bunch of fresh herbs to release the juice. Apply the resulting mixture to your eyelids for 20 minutes, then wash off.
- To relieve redness of the eyes, a herbal decoction is suitable. We take chamomile, dill, mint, parsley. We brew herbs and create contrasting options. One is cold, the other is warm. Apply a cotton pad soaked in a warm broth to your eyes, then in a cold one. Alternate five or six times for 3-4 minutes.
Important! After compresses, be sure to apply a light nourishing eye cream. Proper and regular application of eye compresses is beneficial not only for beauty, but also for health. Not only will your eyes sparkle, but your vision will also improve slightly.
Let's leave red eyes only in old photo albums
We all remember that photographs from ten years ago were simply full of red eyes. Point-and-shoot cameras and not entirely well-chosen films “gave” red eyes to everyone: both animals and people. Nowadays point-and-shoot cameras have given way to digital cameras, and the problem of red eye seems to be solved. But now many of us see red eyes not in photographs, but in a mirror reflection.
This is due to our many hours of sitting near the monitor screen, fatigue, poor-quality cosmetics, as well as natural factors such as wind and frost. Tension in the eyes causes small blood vessels to dilate, forming a reddish mesh. The eyes do not look rested, and do not radiate that coveted shine at all. But how can you make your eyes sparkle if you can’t give up working at the computer?
Firstly, there are special quick-acting products that instantly remove redness of the eyes caused by vasodilation and do everything to make the eyes shine . These are eye drops, such as Visine, Systane, Okumetil and others.
Secondly, folk remedies help relieve redness of the eyes. For example, pre-chilled bags of brewed black tea have an excellent vasoconstrictor effect due to the tannic acid contained in the tea. Just apply tea bags to your closed eyes and lie there, relaxing, for 5 minutes. This procedure is not only intended to make your eyes sparkle . Tea bags can also help remove puffiness under the eyes.
Compresses made from infusion of cornflower flowers also have a good effect. This flower is known for its beneficial soothing effect on the eyes. Remove the cornflower flowers from the baskets, and then brew 2 teaspoons of these flowers with a glass of boiling water. Wait 1 hour for the mixture to steep, cool it and strain. The infusion for compresses is ready.
And in any free minute, give your eyes the opportunity to rest. Look away from the computer, lightly press your fingers on your closed eyes, and do eye exercises, which not only removes the feeling of fatigue, but also prevents vision deterioration.
The best doctor for tired eyes is proper sleep. Don’t take away precious minutes of sleep by giving them away in favor of the next TV series or forum on the Internet. You need to sleep at night, and not continue to test the resistance of your own eyes to irritating factors.
Tips for using cosmetics
Folk remedies are good, but it’s difficult to do without cosmetics. Many women ask the question: how to make your eyes sparkle? It is almost impossible to artificially create a mysterious and bright look. Eyes are a reflection of our feelings, our mood.
Cosmetics will help hide imperfections and give expressiveness to your eyes.
It is important to remember that each cosmetic product should be suitable for the skin and not cause discomfort. Use proven means. Use cleansers, makeup remover milk, micellar solutions. Skin cream is chosen depending on the time of year and skin type. In summer you can use light gels, and in winter - nourishing creams.
What is eye gloss and how to use it
@cinddie
Illuminated skin continues to push back against the trend for matte everything. First, highlighter on the cheekbones became the norm, then foundations with a dewy skin effect. Now brands are promoting a new product to the masses - eye gloss.
Wet, glossy eyelids have been appearing on Instagram accounts of makeup artists from time to time since the founding of the social network. Traditionally, regular lip glosses were used to create them, but now it’s not a problem to buy special ones.
Eye gloss is a one-minute product for spectacular makeup that does not require special skills. It can be transparent or colored in a color characteristic of shadows, poured into jars or tubes, with or without glitter. It is distinguished from ordinary shadows with glitter by its glossy finish and low durability - sooner or later, even the best glitter will accumulate in the crease of the upper eyelid. But the result is worth it.
What to do with eye gloss
There are many use cases. The most obvious is to simply apply the product to your eyelids and blend with your finger or a flat synthetic brush (don't use a fluffy one - it will clump). It will roll, yes. This is part of the format. The shine can be easily corrected with the same finger. Or accept it - grunge makeup has its own charm.
The next level of difficulty is to apply glitter over cream eyeshadow. For this look, first let the shadow set completely, then take a drop of gloss and apply it to the middle of the eyelid. Blend to the outer and inner corners and you're done. The product does not work very well with powdery textures (they mix with glitter and begin to wander across the eyelids).
The most unpredictable makeup starts with a pencil. Apply kajal along the lash line and blend with gloss. Apply eyelashes. The result is a casual smokey eye that looks different on everyone (the texture of the face is unique).
This image requires the most self-confidence, looks amazing in the photo and, unfortunately, is absolutely not suitable for stormy parties - it will blur. Another nuance - you will have to spend the time freed from eye makeup on working on the skin.
How to do it
For special eye glosses, it is best to go to professional makeup brands - MAC, Bobbi Brown, NYX - or those who specialize in bold solutions. The brand 3ina, which recently arrived in Moscow, has a whole series of glosses (our favorite is the cherry-colored eye gloss). As a last resort, use regular thick lip gloss. Makeup artists traditionally recommend MAC Clear Lip Glass - it is thick enough to last on the eyelids for at least a couple of hours.
What else is worth remembering
• Eye gloss is self-sufficient and does not require other makeup accents, but no one can stop you from adding them. Shining foundations and blushes in delicate spring shades look especially beautiful with it.
• Stock up on self-confidence—or makeup remover wipes. This way you can always erase it if you realize things are starting to get out of control.
• Eye gloss is a fun innovation, not a one-size-fits-all solution. It won't replace your favorite neutral eyeshadow palette, but it will slightly enliven your boring makeup routine.
Sunglasses
A few words about sunglasses. Some people perceive them as a stylish accessory, and this is wrong. To protect our eyes and preserve vision, it is necessary to use protection from direct bright rays. Direct exposure to sunlight, especially scorching sun, damages the skin, dries it out, and causes the eyes to squint. As a result, fine wrinkles form around the eyes, and the eyes themselves become inflamed.
Sunglasses will help protect and protect your skin and eyes from premature aging.
Moisturizing drops
This is the largest and most popular category of eye drops, often used by soft lens users. Such preparations are designed to provide the cornea with sufficient moisture and increase the comfort of wearing contact optics. Thanks to the use of moisturizing ophthalmic products, the eyelids slide freely over the lenses, there is no feeling of itching or dryness, adaptation to optical products is as quick and easy as possible.
Also, moisturizing drops can additionally lubricate the surface of the polymer and simplify the process of putting on and removing contact optics. As a rule, you do not need to remove your lenses to moisturize your eyes with these drops.
Moisturizing drops are produced by almost all well-known manufacturers of contact optics care products. For example, the Alcon company produces the well-known drug for moisturizing the cornea “Opti-Free”, which well moisturizes the surface of the eyes and removes dust and microparticles from it. The same brand produces a series of ophthalmic solutions “Systane”, which perfectly eliminate the manifestations of “dry eye” syndrome, do not allow the mucous membrane to dry out, and protect the organs of vision from adverse external influences.
The Bausch + Lomb company produces the popular drug ReNu MultiPlus, as well as Artelak Balance and Artelak Splash based on hyaluronic acid.
The manufacturer Optimed offers solutions Optimed Drops and Optimed ProActive for moisturizing the eyes. The latter contains succinic acid, which is responsible for high-quality moistening of optical products. Optimed Proactive is perfect for people with sensitive eyes.
OKVision AQUA moisturizing drops prevent rapid evaporation of tear fluid, providing a high level of eye hydration. They contain taurine, which has antioxidant properties, stabilizes the tear film and promotes rapid tissue restoration in case of microdamage.
Enthusiasm for sparkling eyes and light gait
To see a healthy sparkle in the eyes means to see a cheerful, cheerful person in front of you. It is the inner mood that gives the eyes a special expression. It’s not for nothing that people say: “there was a twinkle in his eyes!” This means that a person is passionate about the idea, he likes life, he has a goal.
Change your attitude towards the world, do something interesting, come up with a new activity. New impressions and emotions will change your appearance for the better. You will not notice how you will gain new strength, your well-being will improve, and even your gait will change.
Only positive emotions can change a person. If you have desire and enthusiasm, you can achieve anything. This is the sparkle of the eyes, the ease of gait, the surge of energy. All in your hands!
