Tips to prevent eye wrinkles.

I know I'm only 20, but I want to start taking better care of the skin around my eyes. I use SPF everyday and try to be gentle when doing makeup around my eyes. What are some other tips you all have? Any good eye creams I should try? I also have really bad under eye circle, any suggestions for that?

Sunglasses and, if you have glasses/contacts, making sure the prescription is up to date to avoid squinting. I don't use any any-aging creams, but I'm sure someone else can advise on those. I just try to keep the area super moisturized.

For dark circles, you can try sleeping with multiple pillows to minimize fluid retention, but if the dark circles are genetic the only way to get rid of them entirely is with fillers (injections that full the hollow and last about 6 mos, I think?). For at home solutions, use a good moisturizer (I like Clinique all about eyes and coconut oil), avoid rubbing your eyes as much as possible, and cover them using a peach toned color corrector (high end: Bobbi brown, drugstore: maybelline instant age rewind dark circle eraser) under your concealer. Then, you can minimize the appearance of bags by using a highlighter on just the shadowy line where the dark circle and bags end. Wayne goss has a good video that shows how to do it.

CeraVe AM and PM, use only cotton on your face, never tug, rub, or scrub your eyes, sunglasses that cover your entire eye area, no tanning, a healthy diet, exercise, green tea, Vitamin C, combed cotton pillowcases, don't smoke and watch the booze as you turn 21. I'd avoid prolonged sun exposure in general.
