Aging and Longevity

As we get older, our skin produces less collagen. That means we lose elasticity in our skin, so the area around the eyes begins to droop. Fine lines, wrinkles and droopy eyes are a sure way to tell the world you’re aging.

If, however, you’re considering a surgical eye lift, or Botox, to fix your problems, think instead of finding a good quality eye cream. It can be a far superior choice to surgery. Let’s look at a few reasons why.

1 – Eye creams are non invasive and don’t require injections.

An eye lift is more complicated than it might sound. It’s a fully invasive, surgical procedure. After the lift, you have to be aware of several possible side effects like bruising and swelling, and there’s also the time you have to wait until your surgical area heals. When you use an eye cream, all you have to do is apply the eye cream and wait for results to appear. Within minutes, a good eye cream can reduce crow’s feet, circles under the eyes, and bags.

(Best Syndication) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting 24 million people worldwide. It is most prevalent in American’s over the age of 65, but can begin years earlier. The cause of the disease is not certain, but it is believed to be associated with plaques and tangles in the brain.

Causes

There may be a genetic predisposition to AD, but only 5 to 10 percent of AD cases can be shown to have a clear familial pattern. These cases usually have a link to early onset of the disease (before the age of 60).

No matter how young you are, it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin. If you have children, you should start guarding their skin from the sun during infancy and teaching them good skin care habits while they are learning hygiene.

Twenties

Depending on how well you took care of your skin during childhood and your teenage years, you may start seeing fine lines around your eyes and frown lines in your forehead as early as your mid-twenties.
