How to treat loose skin of the upper lids.

A photo or a professional evaluation is necessary to answer your question, but in general if you have loose skin the proper treatment is to remove some of the redundant skin and muscle.

May consider Botox to shape eyebrows

Eyelid exercises

There is no exercise that will either tighten or reduce the loose skin on your upper lids. In fact, any type of exercise will likely only stretch the skin more. You really need eyelid surgery to get the improvement you seek.
