Going easy on eyes when it comes to skin care seems like common sense, but how much special attention do you have to pay to this area? Using a separate eye cream and facial moisturizer may be necessary, especially if you have sensitive skin. The skin around the eyes is very thin, and most of us are more sensitive in the eye area than the rest of the face.
Thin eyelid skin is the first area to show signs of aging and environmental damage. The structure of the skin in the eye area is different from facial or body skin, and doesn’t respond in the same ways to active ingredients and is more likely to be irritated when a product isn’t a good match.
To avoid a bad reaction, look for products that are labeled “hypoallergenic” and less likely to cause irritation. Facial creams can cause stinging, inflammation, or other issues. Also, the fragrances or preservatives in some of those products can cause dermatitis or irritation, on delicate skin. Another school of thought says what’s good for your face is also good for the eyes.
I recommend to use Exquis Beautiful Eyes cream, containing topical alpha hydroxy acid, Ammonium Lactate, with vitamin C, and a simple moisturizer in the eye area. Just make sure the products don’t get into the eye. This product is available online at http://www.ExquisSkincare.com
The eye area may need some special care. Eyelid dermatitis is common, and while it’s not always related to an allergy or irritant reaction, that’s a common cause. It is better to stop using any products that cause an itchy rash around the eyelids right away. If you want to buy an eye cream, look for those made for sensitive skin.
Age-Proof Your Eyes An eye cream isn’t the only option to fight the signs of aging. These tips can also help you prevent wrinkles sagging, and dark circles.
Use a gentle makeup remover. Daily rubbing and tugging can cause damage, use a makeup remover that “melts” off mascara and shadow like a cleansing oil. Keep your hands off. Avoid rubbing (especially if you have allergies that cause itching), tugging, pulling, and otherwise handling the skin in your eye area.
