BODY PART THAT GIVES AWAY YOUR AGE

BODY PART THAT GIVES AWAY YOUR AGE

Which body part would you say gives away someone’s age first (hands, neck, chest, etc)?

The eyelids

What about this body part shows age?

Kids have good-looking and tight eyelids. But as an individual grows older, the skin around eyelids begin to loosen and appear saggy. It may worsen by forming extra fat below and above the eyelids developing bag-like shapes under the eyes.

How can someone prevent this body part from showing age? (ie: preventative measures)

I advise my clients to get an exercise regime, especially with strength training to tighten their skin. Also, some specific workouts can help focus on enhancing eyelid droop, such as, raising the eyebrows and holding them with fingers for a few seconds before releasing. Do that 10-15 reps of 3 sets everyday.

How can someone treat this body part once it already shows age?

Surgery can reduce the fat around your eyelids and tighten the area for better looks. Some over-the-counter face creams are also effective in reducing puffiness.
