So people try to get the bigger eyes. Even our bodies have evolved to look younger, like the smaller ears, the smaller feet, that's actually not - natural selection doesn't do that, but sexual selection does, which I thought was very interesting,\" Chang-Babaian notes.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The other thing is that beauty is a signal to show that everything is OK inside, that you are healthy. So if there is one eye that is off, that means there is not symmetry going on in your body. Symmetry is hard for the body to produce. So if you are symmetrical, it means you are healthy and fit.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Nowadays there are many ways of achieving the illusion of symmetry, beauty and youthfulness.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"There are so many advancements in technology that you really don't know what is happening with people's skin anymore,\" explains Chang-Babaian. \"You know they are doing the Fraxel, they are doing the Botox. So they are staying lifted – so you can't really tell what's naturally happening. Because naturally you lose elasticity in your eyes and of course Botox helps to bring that back up. You get sunspots, Fraxel helps to dissipate that. One of the big things when you get older is that you actually lose lashes and brows. So one of the really big signs of youthfulness is brows, so you want to add that back in especially as you age.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Chang-Babaian has authored three top selling books: \"Asian Faces,\" \"Style Eyes\" and \"Beauty Rewind,\" in which she discusses creating beautiful eyes, maintaining glowing skin and looking your best at all ages. \u003cbr/\u003e              Her advice is to look after your skin.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The sun is a big factor. I don't do Botox, I don't do any of that stuff, but what I do do is sunscreen and I do that religiously because it actually makes a huge impact on the way that my skin develops,\" she explains. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"Also, as you age the melanin in your skin dissipates so it doesn't matter how light you are or how dark you are, you lose your melanin as you age so you want to put that back in and focus on adding that. Also the pink in your skin goes away. So you want to add back a little bit more pink.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              The order in which you use face products in the morning matters too, Chang-Babaian adds. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"You put a toner. You can exfoliate, you don't have to exfoliate that often. But you want to exfoliate, then you do the hydrating toner, then you do the serum, then you do the moisturizer, and then you do the sunscreen, and then you do the foundation,\" she suggests.\u003cbr/\u003e              Aside from creams and serums, she is also a big believer in certain supplements that help keep skin healthy - and has her own favorites.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The B complex of course, the B12, B6 complex and fish oil,\" she lists. \"I'm a huge fish oil person.\"\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Los Angeles, 7 July 2017\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
