Delicate, extremely thin and prone to irritation and quick dehydration — that is what the skin around the eyes is. It is unique and needs equally unique care. Applying cosmetics on the skin around the eyes that are applied on other parts of the face, and forgetting that this skin is different and differs in structure and needs from cheek, chin or forehead skin, is the most common mistake. Unfortunately, we notice this fact only at the time when the first wrinkles appear there. We will give you a hint how to prevent this problem and what criteria should be taken into consideration when selecting cosmetics designed for care for the skin under the eyes.
The skin around the eyes is only 0.5 mm thick (on other parts of the face it is as many as 4 times thicker!) and is devoid of fat pads. This makes it particularly delicate and exposed to the adverse effects of external factors. This is the area where the signs of fatigue, improper care not adjusted to the skin’s needs and its premature ageing are visible. A smaller number of blood vessels leads to poorer blood circulation, and a large accumulation of cells responsible for allergic reactions often results in irritation.
Furthermore, the skin around the eyes is less moisturized and the hydro-lipid coat does not always efficiently protect the skin against water loss. The most common problems which may be spotted both in young and old age are:
- dark circles under the eyes: the result of sleep deprivation, fatigue, vitamin deficiency and improper diet. Their occurrence also depends on the complexion type. Capillary skin shows a greater tendency for dark circles.
- wrinkles: appear as a result of disturbing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. The skin around the eyes “works” hard and, due to this fact, mimic wrinkles are most visible in this area.
- excessive dryness: conditioned by unusual skin delicacy and low resistance to the influence of external factors. Owing to this fact, UV radiation and frost have a stronger impact on the skin in this part of the face.
Let’s take care of your female glance
The skin around the eyes deserves special treatment. Most of all, you should remember about deep skin cleansing (i.e., everyday makeup removal in the evening and refreshing the skin in the morning before applying other cosmetics). Moreover, moisturization is an indispensable element of care for delicate and very sensitive skin. The hydro-lipid coat reinforcement is the key to beautiful and radiant complexion.
In order to prevent premature ageing of the skin and strengthen its structure, it is worth taking care of it in these terms starting at the age of 25 (i.e., when the first wrinkles appear and the skin starts to become less elastic each year). Acid care works well in the anti-ageing treatment. Acids may be found, e.g. in Lactobionic 4% Eye Cream, which is responsible for moisturization and controlling the exfoliation process. In addition to this, the cosmetic provides the skin with valuable vitamins (i.e., vitamins A and C). The cream is also recommended for dry skin and skin with acne rosacea. Furthermore, Reti Fusion Eye Cream, which shallows wrinkles, smooths the skin and firms the skin, is focused on eliminating the signs of ageing.
Eye Illuminator, a combination of tranexamic acid, lactobionic acid and vitamin C, will help you say goodbye to the problem of dark circles under the eyes. The cosmetic perfectly shimmers and unifies the skin tone. Moreover, the active ingredients found in this cosmetic stimulate the process of collagen production and reinforce blood vessels.
Remember that delicate or sensitive skin, skin prone to irritation or ageing skin needs a special task preparation much faster. Specialized cosmetics recommended for eye area care concentrate on particular problems of this part of the face. Try this type of care support and you will soon see how your skin repays you with beautiful effects!
