APPLY SPF TO YOUR EYE AREA

Experts agree that wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen is the number one way you can help prevent signs of ageing. But the eye area is often missed. “Eyelid and under-eye skin is the thinnest on the body, so sun damage shows up quickly there in the form of dilating and increased blood flow,” says dermatologist Dr David E Bank. “As a result, you can see a dark colour through the transparent skin.” Prevent eye irritation by opting for a sunscreen designed for use around the eyes, such as Mesoestetic Mesoprotech Sun Stick SPF 50+, $49.80, adorebeauty.com.au
