The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the rest of the face which is why using an eye cream is important. If a cream is too thick, it can cause the area to become puffy. We all have different concerns when it comes to the eyes so here’s a few tips on how to treat the three most common ones.

We all have different concerns when
it comes to the eyes so here’s a few
tips on how to treat the three most
common ones.

3. Lines and wrinkles
The Cause
The eye area is usually the first area to show lines and wrinkles.
The two main reasons for this are that the epidermis is around 5
times thinner around the eyes than the face, meaning it is much
more delicate and subject to damage. Secondly the eyes are subject
to continuous muscle contractions (we blink around 20,000 times a
day on average) causing expression lines.

4. What to look for in an Eye Cream
When choosing your eye product for lines and wrinkles, look
for ingredients that work to boost collagen and elastin
production within the skin. Note this is different to
ingredients that contain collagen. It’s very difficult to create
collagen in a molecule small enough to penetrate the skin.
It’s the production of collagen and elastin that will help to
reinforce the fibrous tissue and in turn plump out lines and
wrinkles.
Tip
Lines and wrinkles can also be caused by dehydration (inside
and out) so make sure you’re drinking enough water as well
as using an eye cream that hydrates the skin.

5. Bags, puffiness and dark circles
The Cause
Bags, puffiness and dark circles are most commonly caused by poor
circulation around the eye area. When we’re tired or stressed,
sympathetic nerves are activated which constrict the blood vessels.
This slows down blood circulation causing it to build up underneath
the eyes and make the skin appear dark.

6. What to look for in an Eye Cream
Ingredients that stimulate micro-circulation are
essential for helping to improve the problem long
term.
Tip
Keep a spoon in the freezer with cling film
wrapped around it. When your eye area flares up,
take it out, unwrap the cling film and place the
spoon on the eye area. This is great for when you
wake up with puffy eyes.

Serum Or Hydrating Vitamin C Eye Cream

7. Loose and Sagging Skin
Unfortunately our skin is constantly in a battle with gravity and as
we age features start to sag. When the skin’s support structure
becomes weak the eyelids start to sag causing hooded eye lids and
loss of definition of the features.

8. What to look for in an Eye Cream
Look for an eye cream that works to rebuild the skin’s support
structure in order to help lift and volumise the skin. Products
that target the whole eye area including the eye lids (rather
than just underneath) will also give you much more noticeable
results.
Tip
When applying eye cream, avoid dragging the skin or rubbing in
the product as this damaging the skin and causes further
sagging. Apply with your ring finger by gently tapping the
cream around the eye socket.
