Eye, Eye!

Posted: 2013-02-20 10:00:00
If you’ve ever wondered how to care for skin around your eyes, then look no further for healthier & happier skin. The skin around our eye area is not only the thinnest skin on your face, but it’s also the most sensitive and driest. It’s the first place that shows signs of aging.

Cleanse Gently........
We’re often reminded to use our ring fingers when applying eye cream to be gentle and the same logic applies to cleansing. If you’re using an eye makeup remover, don’t tug or rub back and forth. Apply the eye makeup remover on a cotton pad and lightly set it on the eyelid. Do this so that it has a chance to work its way through the products and then gently swipe off.

Moisturise with an EYE Cream.......
Even though it might seem like a good idea to use your facial moisturiser on your eye area, it really isn’t. Your eye area has a totally different makeup than the rest of your face making a separate and dedicated moisturiser for the area necessary. The skin around your eyes has no oil glands so moisturising it with a high-quality eye cream is crucial. Look for eye creams that are not only hydrating but also address other eye skin care concerns you might have like lines or dark circles.
 
Vitamins......
How to care for skin around eyes also involves applying and taking in the right supplements. Vitamins like A, B-complex, C, D, E and beta carotone are all important to keeping the skin around eyes looking youthful and smooth. Look for eye creams that contain these essential vitamins, pop a multi-vitamin to supplement your healthy meals and strive to always eat a balanced diet!
 
Sleep......
Sleep is important for facial skin care but is even more significant for eye skin care. Insufficient sleep can cause bloodshot eyes, dark circles, under eye bags and make us look worn-out. The eye area is the first to tattle on us for not getting enough sleep, being too rough on our skin and not properly caring for our eye skin area. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep each night to not only look vivacious and full of life but to feel good too!

Hydrate......
Another tip on how to care for skin around eyes is to stay hydrated. As you may have heard, water plays a major role in how our skin looks and feels. Hydrated skin looks supple and smooth whereas dehydrated skin can look dried out, scaly and look aged. Also, avoid salty foods, caffeinated beverages and alcohol to avoid accidental dehydration of the skin!
