Experts always advise that the surest way to preserve youthful skin and stay looking your best is to drink enough water and get plenty of sleep. However, we all know that the reality of our busy lives doesn’t always allow us to get as much sleep as we probably should. In fact, sleep deprivation is so widespread that the Centers for Disease Control has declared it a public health problem.
While people with sleep deprivation should take steps to practice better sleep hygiene and improve their habits, the simple fact is that there are days when we are simply going to be fatigued. Late hours at work, anxiety and stress, child care, even fun nights out, can all leave us without enough rest. But even on those days, nobody wants to look tired and fatigued. Furthermore, puffy, baggy eyes and premature aging in the eye area are skin issues that affect many people even when they aren’t tired.
Fortunately, there are a number of eye creams and gels available that will soothe and smooth tired eyes, and reduce the visible signs of aging and fatigue. Here are some of the best of them:
