Removing make-up from the eyes and the face in general at the end of the day is essential to maintain a radiant, beautiful and youthful complexion. If we overlook this action, we are contributing to the premature ageing of our skin, since due to the products applied, it cannot perspire normally or regenerate properly. In addition, if we do not remove make-up or clean our skin, the appearance of impurities and wrinkles is guaranteed.

• Choose a special make-up remover for the eye area and make sure it is hypoallergenic. Biphasic formulas (aqueous and oily base) are the best option, as well as micellar waters.
• Pour some makeup remover on a cotton pad and place it on your eye for about 10 seconds.
• Then, slide the cotton pad from the upper eyelid to the lashes, cleaning with upward movements.
• It is important that you clean the eyes gently and without rubbing roughly.

Do not forget to also pay attention to your daily diet, since on many occasions bad eating habits are the main cause of wrinkles under the eyes and skin ageing in general. In addition to following a balanced and healthy diet, you should start increasing your consumption of antioxidant foods. The reason is that these foods can fight free radicals, is the main responsible for cellular ageing, and have many anti-ageing properties. Among the foods richest in antioxidants are: citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, fish with omega-3, oatmeal, tomato, avocado, kiwi, etc.

And apart from the diet, remember that to maintain skin free of toxins and without fine lines or wrinkles, it is essential that you drink plenty of water daily, preferably consuming 1.5 or 2 litres a day.
