This Is Why You Need An Eye Cream!
If you are from that school of thought that assumes that a good moisturizer should be more than enough for you without spending further on an eye cream, then this article is for you.
WHY A DIFFERENT CREAM FOR THE EYE AREA
There is a reason why eye creams are recommended by beauty experts and others in the know. To understand why, it makes sense to analyse the skin around your eyes as compared to the skin on the rest of your face. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror - you will notice that the skin around your eyes is a lot thinner and finer. It is also prone to a lot of stress - think of the number of times you laugh or frown or squint. Invariably the skin and the tiny muscles around your eyes are the ones most affected. This is why that the first signs of ageing make themselves visible around the eyes. Those fine lines appear there way before they make an appearance on the rest of your face. Dark circles and under eye bags or puffiness are the next things to make an appearance adding many unwanted years to your appearance.WHAT DOES AN EYE CREAM DO
A good eye cream will address all these issues provided you start to use it early enough and are diligent about it. It is best to use an eye cream both morning and evening as part of your daily skincare routine. After cleansing and toning is the best time to apply it. Using your ring finger dab just a pea sized amount of cream around your eyes. Be careful not to tug or pull at the delicate skin around your eye area. The cream needs to be applied in gentle tapping motions along the orbital bone. It is best to not apply eye cream too close to the eye area especially if it contains hydrating oils since these can migrate upwards and potentially irritate your eyes. Do not forget the sides of the yes where laughter lines are most prominent as well as along the upper eye area because nobody wants crepey eyelids right?Another tip to make your eye cream more effective is to keep it in the fridge. The cooling effect of the cream when you apply it will make it even more effective in tackling puffiness and under eye bags.
