It is said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. But it is near them that the first wrinkles appear – after all, the skin around the eyes is very delicate, and therefore signs of aging appear there earlier than on other parts of the face.
Despite this, special products for the skin around the eyes are still seen by many as a marketing ploy by cosmetics companies looking to make as much money as possible. However, experts do not tire of repeating – this is not so.
“Special eye cream is an important part of a complete skin care routine,” says esthetician Shani Darden. “It’s formulated with ingredients designed to target fine lines, puffiness and dark circles, and its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate the delicate area more effectively.”
How to choose products for the skin around the eyes?
It all depends on the type of skin and the task you are facing. According to Darden, cream formulas hydrate skin better and are more convenient to use under makeup. For those who suffer from edema, the creator of her own skincare brand Sunday Riley recommends gels that cool the skin.
When to apply them?
The time of day you use your eye care products also matters. It is best to apply the eye gel in the morning to deal with water retention in the body overnight. For the evening, a rich cream that stimulates collagen synthesis is preferable.
