The Truth About Eye Creams
There are tons of skincare products for all kinds of concerns we can think of and understanding what they do is important to get the best of them. In this article, we will talk about one of the most controversial, eye creams and their difference from other skincare products.
The first thing you need to know is that the skin around the eyes is the most delicate and thinnest in our body, making it a fragile point where generally the first aging signs are noticed. For this reason, it is best to be careful with the products used around this area.
Many regular skincare products that are suitable for the rest of your face might not be the best option for the eyes since their formula can irritate this delicate area. So, specific eye products are needed and never apply products too close to the eye area. While every skin is different, it is well-known and recommended to use products designed for the skin around the eyes.
Another important factor to consider is the ingredients in eye creams. You might have heard your skin specialist talk about using retinol for cell turnover that reduces fine lines, Vitamin C to brighten the skin, hyaluronic acid to boost elasticity, and other ingredients like caffeine and other antioxidants, the list just keeps getting longer. The components between regular and eye creams can be very similar but the difference relies on a formula that is tolerated in a sensitive area. The richer the ingredients the better results you will have, so it’s worth taking a moment to choose products wisely and of high quality.
*Pro tip: we apply eye/eye&lip creams before other skincare products. First, cleanse and tone, next eye creams, and then serum moisturizer and SPF.
If you are noticing changes in your under-eye area or general eye area, there are a few things that can improve the appearance and boost the results of your eye cream.
- Hydration: water is important for our full body functionality and skin is no different. Make sure you keep hydrating both ways, with skincare products and by your water intake.
- Sunscreen: we love the sun and the energy that it brings us, but always remember that UV rays are one of the main factors for premature aging and wrinkles. Using sunscreen every day will help you avoid these early changes and maintain radiant skin among other benefits.
- Massaging: an easy, effective, and pleasing way to improve your eye area is with gentle massages that will increase circulation and lead to less puffiness.
