Okay I have a droopy left eye, and I can't afford surgery right now so I want to know what's the next best thing? |

Hi Lillady, welcome to the forum. I also had a left droopy eye - until I started Ageless facial excercises. NO cream will ever do what the excercises have done. ALL the droopiness is gone in both eyes. There's lots of information on Ageless excercises on the EDS forum. I don't know how to post the link to get you directly to the topic but go to "skincare tools & Do It Yourself Skincare - scroll down a little to "Ageless if you dare". Good luck! |

Hello Determined,
I bought Ageless exercise book as well. I have done both days exercises twice now. I had just done the Day 2 exercises yesterday. Like the first time, I had a hard time grabbing the eyelid skin. Did you have a hard time in the beginning, too?
Can you tell me how many times you have to do the eye exerecises before the droopiness starts to get better? I have hollowness above my left eye as well. Do you think Ageless may help? Thank you. |

Hello, Bira. Yes, I had a hard time gripping the skin on my eyelid and at the sides of the eyes too. It was uncomfortable. Doing the "eye squeeze excercise I noticed an improvement in my droopy eyelid immediately, but several hours later the droop was back. Now the droop stays away all the time. I don't want to stop the excercise to test how long it lasts!
You don't have to do the "eye squeeze" excercises in the shower. You can do them anytime.
1. Close your eyes
2. Press 4 fingers of both hands firmly against your eyelids.
3. Squeeze your eye muscles as hard as you can. You should feel the resistance against your fingers. |

I do not like eye gel, because I always feel like there is no nutrition in eye gel. But I always use eye gel after eye cream, which method would be much more moisture for my eyes. |

Hi Lillady
I totally agree with Determined. Facial exercises are indeed much safer and cost-effective for rejuvenating the droopy eyes than going under the knife.
From my own experience, Ageless program does a wonderful job to firm up my eyelids only within a couple of months. Do check out the Ageless thread as there are many positive feedback from the users.
Good Luck |

On #2, did you mean to press 4 fingers of each hand on top of each eyelid? Or did you mean to press them at the corners of each eye and pull them away toward the ears?
After I do the eye exercises, I get blurry eyes and can't see well for a few minutes. Is this normal? |

I haven't come across any eye gel that works but I'm currently using L'Oreal Revitalift Eye cream (the one in a small white jar, not the one with the red and white pump top), and it really makes my eyes very refreshed and rejunenated looking. What an amazing thing it is when your eyes look good, your whole face seems to brighten as well. I'm not sure if everyone's skin will like Revitalift or not, but my skin loves it. If you want to try, I suggest you buy it from CVS (if one is nearby) or walgreens since you can return it if it doesn't work well for you. I am glad I won't be returning it though. Finally eye cream that delivers! Even my undereye area is firm so when I smile there's no more crepiness and no more wrinkles (I call them wrinkles even if they go away when I stop smiling). |
