They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. But, if you want to prevent those windows from becoming wide open, sagging doors, you might want to look into how to tighten skin under eyes!<\/p>\n

Having firm, youthful skin is the key to looking younger than your years. Having this lovely skin is also down to a lot of lifestyle factors however, so there is plenty that you can do to firm up the skin under your eyes, to keep your face looking as young as you feel.<\/p>\n

As we age, our skin loses Collagen and Elastin<\/a> – two things that encourage our skin to be tight and youthful looking. You can stimulate the production of these two compounds – and also kid your skin into thinking it is younger than it actually is – by applying a few things, inside and outside your skin.<\/p>\n

There are many things that you can do to tighten your skin in terms of procedures that you pay for, but surely it\u2019s better to do something that you can do at home to improve your skin and your self confidence? Let\u2019s look into what you can do to tighten your skin at home before you feel you have to go under the surgeon\u2019s knife!<\/p>\n

What Causes Saggy Skin Under Eyes?<\/h2>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

The sad truth is that it is getting older than contributes to our skin looking older, and becoming more thin and saggy as time goes on. As we age, the tissues around our eyes tends to weaken, and the fat that helps support the eyes can move into the lower lids, which makes the eyelids start to puff up and appear swollen and aged.<\/p>\n

Lack of sleep<\/strong>, food that is excessively salty<\/strong> and not enough sleep<\/strong> can affect the sleep under you eyes.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, genetics<\/strong> can also play a part – if a close family member has saggy under-eye skin, you may find that you yourself have the same issues.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/strong> also plays a big part in skin; if you are a smoker, or you have frequent late nights, or drink a lot, your skin will suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n

Home Remedies For Tightening Skin Under Eyes<\/h2>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

There are a number of products that you probably have lying around in your cupboards that you can use to help tighten the skin under your eyes (yes, really!)<\/p>\n

Baking Soda<\/h3>\n

This useful powder is used for so many things, from cooking to cleaning – and did you know you can also use it in your beauty regime? Simply make a paste with equal parts baking soda and water, and apply the mixture to either just the place below your eyes, or your whole face. Let it dry hard, then rinse it off and pat the face dry.<\/p>\n

Cucumbers<\/h3>\n

There is a reason, believe it or not, why people wearing face packs are always pictured with cucumbers on their eyes! Cucumber will naturally tighten your pores and refresh the skin. Remove the skin from half a cucumber, then either blend it into a paste or just squeeze out the juice. Apply the cucumber mixture to your face, focussing on the eye area. Allow it to dry before rinsing and patting dry.<\/p>\n

Egg White<\/h3>\n

Perfect for puffy skin, egg white can also help to shrink your pores, so this idea is perfect for your whole face as well as the eye area. Simply separate the white from the yolk, and beat it till frothy (you can add a drop or two of lemon juice too, for the astringent properties). Apply the egg to your puffiest areas, leave it to work for 15 minutes then rinse well with warm water.<\/p>\n
