OK. I'm still 49 for just a tiny bit longer. When I do turn 50, I will wear the number proudly. However, I'm taking notice of my face's reflection in the mirror each morning looking a bit differently. Is it possible that's what caused me to notice a recent internet article concerning the 4 most common lifestyle mistakes people make that CAUSE EYE WRINKLES!!! I couldn't read it fast enough. The number one reason for eye wrinkles....
NOT WEARING SUNGLASSES!
I wear glasses and for the longest time, (way back when I was in my 20's) I thought I couldn't wear cute sunglasses like my contact lens-wearing friends. In my early 30's I purchased my first pair of prescription sunglasses. They were in style then and the size of small saucers...would I wear that style now? NO. Do I wish I would have done it sooner? Absolutely. Because of a decade of constant squinting, I now have the beginnings of crow's feet and those dreadful forehead wrinkles. I'm certainly glad that I made the decision all those years ago to get those sunglasses (And numerous pairs since. A girl must keep up with the trends.) and stop squinting.
If you don't wear sunglasses for whatever reason, you're encouraging wrinkles. Try this...look in the mirror and squint like the sun is in your eyes. See those lines? Oh dear, back-up! After years of squinting, they can become permanent. Are you dialing our phone number yet? (217-345-6600)
When you have your next exam with Dr. Esarey or Dr. Duzan, ORDER SUNGLASSES! Wear them outdoors and in the car all year long. You'll be glad you did.
Thanks for reading. Stop by again soon.
