Since turning 40 a couple of years ago my eyes have developed a tendency to look like piss holes in the snow (apols for bad language) puffy underneath with drooping Maggie Thatcher overhang on the upper lids.

Apart from surgery, what the Jeff can I do? It makes me look tired, even when I'm not!

I've read that usibg tea bags help. Dip a tea bag in water ( green tea or regular English) and let sit on eyes....or try cucumbers.

pile cream is meant to work wonders on the puffiness. No idea about the over hang though sorry.

There's a life-changing eye cream you can buy from Space NK, by By Terry. It's called hyaluronic acid eye primer and it's amazing - tightens everything back up and makes you look about 12. Bad news is it's £32 for a small tube. :-/

I brought a cheap hyaluronic and caffeine roll on today and used it this evening. Early results are promising, on the under eye at least. My eyes used to be beautiful

My next question will be about facial hair. I am so blessed.

Ooh which roll-on did you get? I'm all out of my By £££££££ Terry one and am in the market for a bargain!

I have the droopy eyes too. I haven't tried these creams so may have a go, but just came on to say if you don't already do it, have your eyebrows threaded. A nicely shaped brow does me the world of good.

Have a look at make up tips for hooded eyes. You can sometimes improve the appearance with carefully applied eyeshadow. Facial massage may help to lift the area - again have a look on the internet.

place marking here too!

It was in home bargains and called 10 years younger. Thanks for the threading tip, I will google make up tips.
