Just like exercise, you also have to exercise that portion of your face, not only body. Regular routine like massaging that area and lifting these brows will strengthen the muscles. Also mud pack for the face with tightening ingredients will also help... And don't forget a lot of vitamin A and C on those areas will also minimize the "droopiness".
I hope this helps?

Hi Jade,
I have this same issue and very sensitive eyes, I would really be concerned about using things that can be harsh to some on the facial skin, so close to your very delicate eye. Vitamin a and vitamin C can sometimes be very irritating. ???

I have the same issue, and I just noticed today some actual lifting, my brows are sitting a bit higher and I think the skin is a bit firmer too.
Actually I really examined it after Andrea had asked me if anything I mentioned in another thread had helped. I've been really keying in on hyper-pigmentation and peeling lately, so hadn't really evaluated the eyes as much. So many issues, so little time 
All I can tell you that I have changed is that I have been using HA Soy Lift for about a month now as an eye cream (cuz I only had a sample). Along with Amazing Day and Eye cream (also Perfect Complexion stuff). But I also have been doing the Upper Lid stretch from Flex Effect twice a day. The other time I thought I noticed a difference in that area was when I was doing the Facercise eye exercise, where you do the sunglasses hold and squint 30 times, etc.
I really think that some creams can help, but the exercises are going to be key also. I noticed there is some new cream meant specifically for upper eye lids in the magazines, but I am sticking with Perfect Complexion stuff for now until I decide if it works or now. I really like that whole concept of her line and have started doing custom eye compresses with proteins.
Prolly end up getting a brow lift in the end anyway though.  |

lorimcp,
Could you possibly explain how you are doing this exercise and how long you do it each time?
Thanks alot |

| using 3 fingers on each hand, push the upper eyelid skin up to the brow bone and hold. Contract the muscle by closing the eye and hold for a count of 6, do 10 times. |

Everytime I do eye exercises it seems my eye area gets more droopy and i give up.
Would this be a "gets worse before better" kind of thing? If so - how long does that last...
If not - is it possible facial exercises may not work for some people?
THANKS |

I was taking Hyaluronic Acid for 2 days, on the third day I noticed my upper eye lid drooping! It filled with so much fluid it's coming down onto my lower. omg!  I'm so sad |
