Winter skin is prone to dryness, and many people put skin care on their agenda early, but neglect the maintenance of the skin around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is the face of the thinnest, most delicate place, due to dryness, frequent eye movement, sun exposure and other factors, when the lack of water or poor blood circulation, it is easy to form fine lines or dark circles, so in the winter eye skin care can not be lazy. Not the cream as eye cream Because the skin around the eyes is very thin, only 1/3 to 1/5 of the facial skin, and eye skin lacks sebaceous glands and sweat glands, and therefore does not secrete oil. Lacking natural protection, the skin around the eyes is prone to dryness. However, many people are very haphazard in their care of the skin around the eyes. The most common practice is to use creams as eye creams, thinking that applying creams to the skin around the eyes will provide moisturizing care. In fact, the care of the skin around the eyes is far from simple. It is the upper eyelids that lack sebaceous glands and sweat glands, but the skin under the eyes still has sebaceous glands and sweat glands, so the upper eyelids are more in need of moisturizing and protection with eye creams. The skin underneath the eyes is where the micro-vessels of the face converge and the blood flow is not fast, so it is important to promote blood circulation here. Since the skin around the eyes is thin and the sebaceous glands above and below are unevenly distributed, you should choose an eye cream that absorbs quickly, moisturizes properly, and preferably promotes blood circulation. If you use an oily cream instead of an eye cream, it can put an unnecessary burden on the skin around your eyes, and even cause allergies and the formation of oil grains. Massage helps to improve blood circulation In addition to the use of care products, a gentle and soothing massage can improve blood circulation around the eyes and can also help to relieve eye fatigue. In addition to natural aging, poor metabolism of lymphatic circulation, smoking, and staying up late can all affect blood circulation around the eyes, which in turn increases melanin deposition. With age and frequent eye movements such as blinking, the subcutaneous elastic fibers of the eye skin will also be deformed, so that the originally tight elastic fibers aging, contraction force is weakened, and then the formation of wrinkles. Thus, improving blood circulation through massage is good for the metabolic synthesis of tissues. Remove eye makeup need to be thorough Eye cleaning is also an important part of eye skin care. Eye makeup is one of the most detailed and complicated steps in a woman’s makeup routine. At the same time, makeup products on the skin around the eyes is very harmful, so unloading eye makeup must be unloaded cleanly, otherwise long-lasting cosmetic residues caused by pigmentation, it is easy to form dark circles. In addition, it is best to use a soft, non-irritating makeup remover to avoid irritating the skin around the eyes. Women who wear contact lenses, it is best to remove contact lenses before removing makeup. It is important to clean and sterilize your hands well before fitting contact lenses to reduce the risk of causing allergies and inflammation of the eyes and eye skin. Protect your eyes from the sun Winter sun protection? That’s right! Ultraviolet rays are present all year round and their intensity is a major cause of skin aging, while the skin under the eyes is vulnerable due to its weak natural protection. Therefore, sun protection for the eye area is a must throughout the year. In winter, choose a barrier cream or sunscreen HPF value need not be too high, SPF value of about 15-25 is enough.
