An eye cream that works!

 

The skin around your eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your face, which is why you will notice the signs of ageing here first. Fine lines, crow’s feet or eye bags … None of us want to see these staring back at us in the mirror because they can quickly give you a more tired appearance. But the perfect eye care can make your eyes look radiant again!

What causes fine lines and eye bags?

There are several possible causes. As mentioned above, your skin is thinner around your eyes, so more sensitive than the rest of your face. When collagen production starts to decline (from the age of 25), your skin becomes less firm and crow’s feet are more easily noticeable.

Is your skin dehydrated? If so, it will be thinner. As a result, your blood vessels under your eyes are more visible, which leads to dark circles and eye bags. Not getting enough sleep? This can give you puffy under-eye bags, because of fluid retention. And finally: smoking, alcohol consumption and an unhealthy diet all have a negative impact on your skin!

A good eye cream to the rescue 

A good eye cream provides intense hydration to your skin, contains antioxidants that protect your skin and help repair the first signs of skin ageing. And, if it also has a collagen-boosting ingredient, you are onto a winner!

Here are some of our other tips:

• Always wear sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
• Wear sunglasses to protect your skin and squint less in the sun.
• Drink enough water.
• Make time to relax regularly because stress also has a negative effect on your skin.

How to use an eye cream?

So, you have found a good eye cream, but how much product should you use and what is the best way to apply this eye cream? About the size of a grain of rice will do. Also, make sure to apply your eye cream by dabbing it on with one fingertip, working your way from the inner eye corner to the outer one. Use gentle, massaging movements, which helps stimulate blood flow.
