Precisely because it is a very delicate area of the face, it is necessary to treat it with the right products, which can hydrate the skin and illuminate our gaze.
Here's how to take care of the eye contour area.
Why is the eye contour area more delicate?
Our skin is covered with a hydrolipidic barrier, composed of lipids and water, which protects it from external and internal attacks.
In some areas of the face, however, this barrier is thinner, such as the area around the lips and the area around the eyes.
Precisely for this reason, they are more subject to dehydration and the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and signs of aging. Furthermore, the eye contour area is stimulated daily by facial expressions, with the consequent appearance of expression wrinkles.
The main cause of the appearance of wrinkles is certainly theskin aging, because the skin produces less and less collagen and elastin as the years go by, the two proteins that make the skin elastic.
But there are also other factors which contribute to the formation of the signs of aging:
- An unhealthy lifestyle (for example, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking);
- Air pollution;
- Excessive exposure to UV rays;
- Skincare products that are too aggressive;
- Poor skin hydration.
Another very common blemish, which affects the area around the eyes, is the eye bags, or those gray/blue halos that we often have under our eyes. Dark circles are formed due to excessive dilation of the capillaries or an accumulation of melanin.
Le causes There are various causes: genetic conditions, too little sleep, excessive coffee consumption, and physical and mental stress.
How to take care of your eye contour?
As anticipated, the eye contour area It is very delicate and needs daily attention.
First of all, it is always advisable cleanse your eyes perfectly, in order to eliminate traces of make-up and dust: these two elements can clog pores and make cell renewal more difficult.
Furthermore, it is advisable to have one correct lifestyle, with a healthy diet, eliminating vices such as smoking and alcohol and sleeping the right amount of hours during the night.
To minimize the appearance of wrinkles, we can also opt for a series of exercises facial gymnastics, in order to tone the facial muscles.
What products should I use for the eye contour area?
To have a bright and young look, we must include some specific products in our skincare routine. First of all, we always apply, both in the morning and in the evening, a eye contour serum. Serum is a product rich in active ingredients, which penetrates the skin quickly, nourishing and hydrating it.
If we want to minimize the appearance of dark circles and bags, we use an eye serum with Vitamin C: or with Caffeine, in order to revitalize the gaze and combat the signs of aging.
After the serum, you can't miss the eye contour cream, which serves to deeply hydrate the skin, minimize dark circles, bags and other signs of stress, tiredness and combat the formation of wrinkles.
To hydrate the eye contour area and make the look brighter and younger, we opt for a cream with Hyaluronic acid or enriched with collagen: two ingredients with the power to fill the signs of aging.
To best apply the eye contour cream, just take a small amount and gently tap it into the lower eye area until completely absorbed.
If, however, we notice a particularly tired look and rather marked dark circles, we can use some eye patches, enriched with some active ingredients (such as Vitamin C) to be applied under the eyes for a few minutes. It will be a real boost for our eyes.
Take care of your eye contour with products designed to make your gaze young, bright and intense.
