A BEAUTY guru has revealed how she banishes crow\u2019s feet and undereye circles without splurging on expensive eye creams.<\/p>\n
She spoke candidly about her skincare regimen after a 25-year-old asked her for advice on getting rid of their unwanted fine lines.<\/p>\n

Nike Ojekunle (@nikeoje) boasts over 467,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty and fashion tips.<\/p>\n
She took to the social media platform to explain how she looks after the skin around her eyes to maintain a youthful appearance.<\/p>\n
She made the video in response to a follower claiming they are getting crow\u2019s feet in their mid-20s.<\/p>\n
Nike said: \u201cSo you\u2019re starting to get crow\u2019s feet or you have dark under-eye circles, but you don\u2019t want to purchase expensive eye cream?<\/p>\n
\u201cI have the solution for you. Let\u2019s do it!<\/p>\n \u201cTake your retinol (dime size) and pour it out on your hand. Then take your moisturizer (mine is from Symbiome) and mix it together.<\/p>\n \u201cRetinol is very strong so you don\u2019t want to put it directly under your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n Symbiome The One cream costs $125 from Look Fantastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The anti-aging cream contains a mix of antioxidants that claim to \u201chelp protect against premature aging and oxidative damage caused by environmental pollutants or stressors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Nike didn\u2019t reveal which brand of retinol she combined the cream with before applying the products under her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, she reassured a commenter that the retinol available from skincare brand The Ordinary, which costs $6.85, is just as effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n Nike said: \u201cI simply tap with my ring finger under my eyes and that\u2019s it! It gets rid of the wrinkles and your dark circles.\u201d<\/p>\n The video racked up thousands of views and people took to the comment section thanking her for sharing her beauty tip.<\/p>\n One person wrote: \u201cI was going to research how to smooth out my smile lines around my eyes because I can\u2019t stop smiling so hard [laughing]. Thank you for this.\u201d<\/p>\n Another said: \u201cThanks, I\u2019ve never used retinol because I was told it\u2019s something you can never stop using or you\u2019ll look older, but these lines and bags have to go!\u201d<\/p>\n Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob told Web MD that \u201cit\u2019s never too early to start using a retinoid product.\u201d<\/p>\n It can take three to six months of daily use to notice an improvement in skin when using over-the-counter retinol.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, prescription retinoids can make skin appear smoother and more even-toned as soon as six weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Researchers have been studying using retinoids to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and slow the breakdown of collagen since the 1970s.<\/p>\n<\/picture>BREAK POINT <\/span><\/p>\n
