The skin around the eyes is particularly soft and thin, and has many folds, so the skin around the eyes evaporates faster; at the same time, the skin around the eyes has fewer sweat and sebaceous glands, so it is especially prone to dryness and dehydration. These factors determine that the eyes are the most prone to aging and problems. Generally since the age of 25 the skin around the eyes starts to go downhill, with dark circles, crow’s feet, bags, buds, puffiness and other problems. Therefore, prevention and care are very important. The most effective way to take care of the eye skin is to use eye care products, but for eye cream, you really know how to use it and really know how to choose it? Can facial creams replace eye creams? Although both are facial skin, but because the skin around the eyes is inherently disadvantaged, so cream products are not suitable for use around the eyes. The eye care products designed according to the physiological characteristics of the skin around the eyes are usually more delicate in texture, with a small molecular weight, a mild feeling of use and a higher degree of nourishment, and more targeted to solve various eye skin problems. Can I use whitening eye cream to lighten my dark circles? If it is due to pigmentation, sunlight and other reasons caused by the eye skin dullness, spots, or because of poor blood circulation caused by the dark circles, can be lightened by using eye creams containing whitening ingredients. But if the dark circles are congenital, or are caused by a long period of irregular work and rest, lack of kidney energy, or a cold spleen and stomach, you should adjust your lifestyle and body functions, eat lightly, go to bed early and wake up early, avoid excessive smoking and drinking, and insist on daily foot baths with hot water. How to smooth out fine lines? The most common feature of mature skin is sagging eyes with fine lines and wrinkles, which can generally be improved by using eye creams containing anti-aging ingredients such as vitamin A, vitamin E and collagen. This is why it is especially important to take good care of your eyes in general to prevent fine lines under the eyes. What kind of technique can best enhance the effect of eye creams? When applying eye creams, the technique must be gentle to avoid over-stretching the delicate skin around the eyes. The ring finger is the most suitable finger for massaging the eye area. When applying eye cream, gently dab the cream around the eye area and choose to apply it evenly by either dabbing or massaging in a circular motion, depending on the texture of the product. After applying the eye cream, thoroughly wrap the skin area around the eyes with the palms of your rubbed hot hands to promote subcutaneous microcirculation of the skin around the eyes, while accelerating the penetration and absorption of the active ingredients. How do I choose the best eye cream for me? In essence, eye creams are designed to keep the skin around the eyes moisturized, improve and prevent eye problems, so it is important to thoroughly observe and understand the current condition of the skin around the eyes before choosing an eye cream. Because the skin around the eyes has a special structure, is delicate and weak, and is adjacent to the eyes, it is best to choose an eye cream with a gentle formula to avoid irritation of the skin around the eyes. If the cream you are using stings or itches during application, stop using it immediately and rinse it off with plenty of water.
