Hi, if you use eye creams that put alot of moisture into your skin the lines will be less noticeable. You need to plumb the skin up. Also you show be wearing a sunscreen everyday and wear sunglasses when you go out in the sun. If you don't you will squint and that will cause wrinkles
When I was 27 I worked for a Plastic Surgeon and I saw what these women looked like who had spent years worshiping the sun. I decided right then and there I was done with that stuff and started using sunblock everyday. I am glad to report I am 51 and no one ever guesses me over 40. I hardly have any wrinkles. Good luck to you

As well as using sun screen and wearing sunglasses (so you don't squint), do NOT smoke. Smoking cigarettes (or anything else for that matter!) causes you to squint which eventually causes wrinkles.

DO use an eye creme, morning and night. I often apply mine at lunchtime too!

If you wear eye makeup - esp. mascara - remove it gently every night with a soft pad and creamy cleanser. Do not pull the skin around your eyes as it is very delicate so try to avoid rubbing your eyes or wiping them.

The most important advice is to limit the amount of time your skin is exposed to the sun!

Good luck,
