It's important to treat the eye area as it's usually the first to wrinkle and show the signs of aging. It is also very sensitive to lack of sleep, stress and poor diet. Extensive sun exposure and air pollution can be damaging to the delicate skin around your eyes, applying eye cream in the evening and regular use of eye masks can help strengthen and protect from premature aging of the skin.

To get rid of the most common problems - puffy eyes and dark circles - try Wish Formula Panda Eye Essence Mask. The product should be used 2-3 times per week. It includes whitening, anti-aging and firming ingredients to take care of the delicate eye area.

Eating a balanced diet is the best way to get your share of good food for healthy skin. Orange juice is rich in vitamin C, essential for the manufacture of collagen, which helps to keep the skin smooth and youthful. Other foods rich in vitamin C include guava, kiwi fruit and red peppers.

Tomatoes help to protect your skin from UV rays and improve antioxidant level in the skin. Green tea, berries, brown rice, fish and seafood, dark green leafy vegetables - they all contain necessary ingredients for a natural glowing skin.
