Expert advice for ageless eyes
Whether you’re 25 and just noticing your first fine line or 65 and struggling with deep furrows and dark circles, it’s never too soon or too late to address the signs of aging around the eyes. With the right combination of lifestyle habits and age-fighting formulas, you can prevent, minimize and reverse the signs of aging.
1. Defend against UV damage
Hands down, the sun is the biggest culprit when it comes to age-related damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and discoloration. Since the skin around the eyes is especially thin and sensitive, it’s especially vulnerable to UV damage. In fact, nearly 10 percent of skin cancer occurs in this area – making it an essential place to protect.
Thankfully, you’re never too young or too old to add a daily SPF lotion to your beauty regimen. This essential daily habit is the single most important step in staving off the signs of aging. But, keeping in mind that the skin around the eyes is especially sensitive, always use an SPF lotion that’s specifically formulated for the face. Look for a lightweight formula with ingredients that physically block UV rays, including zinc and titanium dioxide, which are less likely to irritate mature skin.

2. Arm your skin with fight free-radical fighters
Arming your skin with the resources it needs to fight off the signs of aging is an essential – an often overlooked – step in an effective age-fighting regimen. Specifically, the body requires extra help to fight off free radicals, which are powerful little molecules that damage cells and cause the signs of aging. The most effective free-radical fighters are antioxidant compounds, which can be found in fruits and vegetables.
In addition to a healthy diet, look for anti-aging formulas with antioxidants to optimize the skin’s ability to repair environmental damage for a more youthful look. Antioxidants to look for include vitamins C and E, selenium, coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, retinol, flavonoids (green tea and chocolate), B vitamins, and a bevy of other botanical extracts including lycopene, pomegranate, rosemary, grapeseed and soy.

It’s also hypoallergenic, making it ideal for mature or sensitive complexions.
3. Restore and repair with a serum
From creams and lotions to serums and gels, the skincare shelves are teeming with treatments that promise to tackle the signs of aging. But which is best? For performance, experts agree that serums are the go-to formula type for fighting the toughest signs of aging. Serums typically contain the highest concentrations of active ingredients, with fewer of the cheap fillers that do little in the way of helping the skin. Serums also contain ultra tiny molecules – which are more easily absorbed to the deepest layers of skin for faster action and more visible anti-aging results.
For these reasons, serums tend to be the most expensive of the anti-aging products. But don’t let sticker shock prevent you from adding a serum to your age-fighting arsenal. When applied in the proper amount (remember, serums are ultra concentrated, so a little goes a long way), a one-ounce bottle should last for months. Look for bottles with a pump dispenser or drop applicator, which are ideal for dispensing tiny amounts.
- Top age-fighting essential: Boots No7 Youthful Eye Serum is a go-to serum for reversing the signs of aging around the eyes. Along with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, peptides and fruit extracts, this strengthening serum visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, hydrates to improve texture, and brightens the look of dark circles and puffy skin.
4. Keep skin supple
With age, oil glands naturally produce less of the sebum that naturally lubricates the skin, leading to a parched complexion – especially around the eyes where the skin is especially thin and delicate. And, since dry skin tends to showcase the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and other signs of damage, maintaining supple skin is one of the easiest ways to mask the look of aging.
A lubricating eye cream is an essential in every age-fighting routine. Always avoid using fragranced body lotions on the delicate skin around the eyes. Instead, look for multi-tasking eye lotions that, along with providing much-needed moisture, blanket the skin with ingredients that nourish, strengthen, and repair the skin. Although applying a day cream in the morning is enough to quench most mature complexions, those with especially parched skin may find relief with an intense night cream.

5. Be ready to brighten
As you age, you may find that losing even an hour of beauty sleep can result in dark circles and puffiness when morning arrives. This is partly to blame on the skin becoming thinner and more translucent over time, revealing the bluish cast of blood vessels from beneath the skin.
To mask the look of fatigue, keep an eye brightener on hand for those mornings when your eyes are looking less than radiant. Many treatments work instantly to calm redness, reduce puffiness and brighten the look of dark circles.
- Top age-fighting essential: Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Vitality Eye Roll-On cools, hydrates, and massages the skin beneath the eyes to instantly relieve the signs of fatigue.

Along with dryness, the area around the eye is the first area to show the signs of aging. But with the right combination of age-fighting formulas from Boots No7, you can restore a healthy, youthful look to your eyes, for a radiant, attractive appearance.
