Eyes Care

The fine skin around the eyes is the first to show the signs of ageing, as well as dark circles and puffiness. It needs extra special care because it is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, so it is less able to hold in moisture. There are also ferwer oil glands in this area, which adds to the potential dryness and there is no fattu layer underneath the skin to act as a shock absorber. The result is that this skin quickly loses it elasticity.

Choosing an Eye Treatment

Face creams and oils are too heavy for the eye area. They can block tear ducts, causing puffiness, so you should choose a specific eye treatment that woould not aggravate your skin. Gel based ones are great for young or oily skins and are refreshing to use.
