Fine lines under eyes

Coconut_2
Posts: 53 Forumite
Hi,
I'm 38 and don't have many lines yet as my skin is very oily, but I've noticed some fine ones under the eyes.
Is there anything I can do to make them less noticeable (makeup or cream)? I know some makeups can make them worse.. I only use tinted moisturizer and the garnier roll-on some days.
Thanks!!

Hi Coconut,
It sounds like it may be a good time for you to start using a quality eye cream. Look for one which will hydrate and plump out the skin, thus reducing the appearance of the lines, without being too heavy or oily. Use it morning and night for best results. I would definitely go for an eye cream rather than a make-up.
Hope that helps.

No 7 do some good quality eye creams, which help prevent that.0

I would highly recommend Boots Essentials eye gel in cucumber, oil free so good for oily skin and I noticed a dramatic difference in the first few days of use and its super :money:too:)

Thanks for your suggestions, I have a £5 voucher for No.7 so I might try one of those, the cucumber gel looks nice too but not sure how effective would be, it's not an anti-wrinkle..? Worth trying anyway for that price!0

Not anti wrinkle but very hydrating so it plumps whats already there, no cream is going to stop wrinkles appearing;)Thank you for this site MartinThe time for change has comeGood luck for the future0 -
I've recently bought the No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Eye Cream, which does seem to make a difference. If you have a No 7 voucher it could be worth a try? Saying that the lines around my eyes are hardly noticeable anyway because I always wear sunglasses - best (and free) way to stop the wrinkles appearing in the first place or getting worse!DFW by end of June 2016...!

I also wear sunglasses and always SPF 30, all year round... but i guess it's normal that lines appear sooner or later. It's the only area on my face with lines, which at my age i guess it's not too bad!0

I find rosehip oil plumps & softens lines, its also natural & alot cheaper than brands. Do a search on the site & read the positive reviews, its what got me started on it & its great! HTHNo one said it was gonna be easy!0
