Why an Eye Cream is essential to Anti-Aging

While many men and women want an "easy map" to looking younger and think a regular moisturizer is fine for the entire face, the eyes require special care. The area around your eyes is 30% thinner than the rest of your skin, and between that and the movement around the eye it is the first area to show age and to dehydrate on the face. Why You Need an Eye Cream: As the skin is thinner around your eyes and because of the extreme amount of movement from squinting etc, the skin is more sensitive and prone to a many issues, such as puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, there are minimal oil glands around your eyes to help keep the skin naturally hydrated, so finding the right eye cream can help to prevent many issues. It's best to find one that fights several issues at once. Look for pharmaceutical grade eye creams as they will have the strongest ingredients to penetrate. You want to tap the eye cream with your ring finger (it's the weakest). Try to find an eye cream without fragrance. Ingredients to look for: For Puffiness: Under-eye puffiness comes from fluid buildup that swells in the tissues around your eyes. This can come from allergies and sinuses, but it can also be a result of sleep deprivation, hereditary issues diet, alcohol, and aging. Look for ingredients like caffeine which can help reduce swelling. For Dark Circles: Dark circles form around the eyes as a result of factors, such as heredity, stress, smoking, sun exposure, pigmentation, and shadows from the hollowing out of your eyes. Things like vitamin C and K, kojic acid, and licorice can help combat skin discoloration. Dermal fillers such as Belotero are the best solution for hollow eyes causing dark shadows. You should also look for light-reflecting ingredients to give you an instant brightening effect. For Fine Lines: Look for collagen boosting ingredients such as Retinol and tissue nutrient supplements.
