If you want bright eyes… Get some sleep!

This next tip on our list of “How to Get Rid of Crows Feet and Brighten Eyes” may seem like a no-brainer. Nonetheless, we need to remind you that getting those z’s every single night has a serious impact on you. And no, we don't mean an impact on the amount of java you need in the A.M. to get going. We're talking about the effect it has on the look of those beautiful eyes of yours.

We know that the first thing that comes to most people’s minds about lack of sleep and their faces, is the presence of those dark, annoying under eye bags. However, the truth is that staying up too late to finish that last episode also has an impact on the brightness of your eyes, and how young they look.

If you don’t believe that beauty sleep is a real thing, we’re about to change your mind on that real quick. Here’s the thing, your skin produces collagen while you sleep. This is a major key in keeping your face looking bouncy, and your eyes looking rested. Therefore by not getting that recommended 7-8 hours every night, you’re totally hindering that process girlfriend!

Secondly, blood flow to your face increases as you sleep. This is partly due to the position you’re in, and your body’s regeneration process. And that increased blood flow? Well, it keeps that face of yours (under eyes included), glowing.

Protect your eyes from the sun to avoid crow’s feet

We always hear skin experts telling us how vital it is to protect our skin from harmful UV rays. For real, when have you ever seen a dermatologist miss an opportunity to mention layering up on sunscreen? And for good reason!

And while we know how important it is to apply SPF every day, we didn’t always know that this should include the delicate skin on your eyelids. Here’s the deal. The skin on your eyelids is super fragile. This means it is at an even greater risk of burns and sun damage than the rest of your precious face.

So the next time you put on that SPF in the morning, tap yourself on the back. More importantly though, don’t forget your eyelids and surrounding eye area. Trust us, you’ll be beyond grateful you did in a few years when those crow’s feet are nowhere to be found.

Brighten your eyes naturally with green tea bags

In case you didn’t know, we’re a little obsessed with tea around here. But aside from the benefits it gives our bodies internally, we can’t get enough of just how beneficial it is to our skin.

If you struggle with dark circles under your eyes, don't stress. This next hack on our list of “How to Get Rid of Crows Feet and Brighten Eyes” is going to save you from having to pile on makeup. Not to mention, it’s a ridiculously soothing trick you can use whenever you’re feeling tired or just need a quick pick-me-up.

Instead of throwing away your green tea bags after you’ve finished your cup, throw them in the fridge to let cool. After 15-20 minutes, take them out and simply apply them to clean eyes. The benefits of green tea in particular are numerous. The tannins from this powerful leaf will help lighten and smooth puffy under eyes. What’s more, you can use this trick multiple times a week given how natural and gentle it is on your skin.

Get your daily dose of antioxidants for brighter, whiter eyes

You know what they say, you are what you eat. Or in this case, your eyes showcase what you eat!

Ever notice how your skin and body look and feel better when you’re on a healthy eating track? Well, your eyes are no exception. Consuming foods that are rich in antioxidants will help your eyes fight off harmful UV rays, and keep the skin around them looking youthful.

Incorporate super foods or teas high in antioxidants into your diet on a daily basis. Believe us: your sparkling peepers will thank you!

Keep your allergies in check

However, allergies can also take a toll on your eye brightness, especially if they are not treated properly. Think about it: dry, itchy, watery eyes? Not a good look. Not treating them in time? Even worse. If you suffer from this type of irritation any time of the year, check in with your doctor. He or she can totally help with treating your peepers. Because ultimately, this will help you preserve your eye brightness, and health.
