Eye creams

Why does the skin around the eyes lose moisture quickly?

The skin around the eyes is thinner than other areas of the face, so it tends to lose moisture quickly. Also, as we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen, which further reduces its ability to retain moisture. In addition, dry air, wind, and sun exposure contribute to faster moisture loss in the skin.

To prevent dryness under the eyes, it is recommended to moisturize this area regularly. Before applying a special eye cream, gently wash your face to remove dirt and makeup. When applying the cream, gently pat it around the orbital bone, avoiding the lash line. If you are using other skin care products, apply the eye cream after the serum, but before thicker face creams. Avoid products with fragrances or alcohol in your skin routine, as they can further dry out or irritate the skin. Consistency is key to seeing results. Follow your skin routine every day, both morning and evening.

Why do the first wrinkles appear in the eye area?

The skin around the eyes is thin and the muscles in it are constantly involved in various facial expressions, so it is not surprising that the first wrinkles appear around the eyes. Also, sun exposure, wind, dry air contribute to the loss of moisture in the skin and thus accelerate aging. Moisturizers with the following ingredients can help reduce fine wrinkles and maintain moisture in the eye area:

Retinoids: Retinoids, including retinol, are derivatives of vitamin A that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid: it helps retain moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Vitamin C: This is an antioxidant that brightens the skin and stimulates collagen production, contributing to a more youthful appearance.

A healthy lifestyle and sun protection also contribute to the appearance of your face. To prevent the formation of fine lines, it is recommended to use SPF cream daily. Sleep, a balanced diet and hydration are also important.

What causes dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by hyperpigmentation, which is when the skin produces more melanin due to excessive sun exposure. The skin around the eyes also thins as we age, making the blood vessels under it more visible. Sleep is very important, as lack of sleep can make the skin look paler and blood vessels more prominent. Alcohol and smoking also have a significant impact on the skin around the eyes, as these habits can dehydrate the skin and cause blood vessels to dilate, which can lead to dark circles under the eyes.

To reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, you should pay attention to sleep, drink enough water, and use sunscreen (SPF cream). Moisturizing eye creams can also help.
