EYES
The skin around the eye is the thinnest and most fragile skin found on the
body, and wrinkles in this area causes great aging of the face, as the
eyes are the central point of focus when people talk to you.
Bags under the eyes also do great disservice to your looks, creating an
uncared for look. Baggy eyes can be helped with certain facial eye exercises and
effective skincare gels can go to some lengths to effectively remove this
problem.
Droopy eyelids can benefit greatly from ageless anti-aging facial exercises.
