Eye cream: The skin around the eyes needs a different kind of care

The skin around the eyes is much more delicate and sensitive than the rest of the skin on your face. It tends to dry out more easily and the first signs of ageing on the face, such as mimic lines or wrinkles, frequently appear first around the eyes. A good eye cream provides the skin around the eyes with the necessary moisture.

It is not just signs of ageing that can be seen around the eyes. A lack of sleep or stress can also be seen in the form of rings around the eyes, dark areas around the eyes and bags under the eyes. Since face cream is often not intensive enough to meet the specific needs of the sensitive skin around the eyes, a good eye cream is an absolute must-have for your cosmetics collection.

Eye cream: How often should it be used?

The skin around the eyes is put under a great deal of strain each day. This is especially true for women. When make-up is applied, the skin is frequently rubbed and handled, which can cause it to dry out. In order to avoid dry wrinkles, an eye cream should be rubbed into the skin around the eyes each morning to create a moisture depot for the day and protect the skin. Eye cream can be applied again in the evening before getting into bed. This will be absorbed into the skin overnight and provide it with sufficient nutrients, helping you to look refreshed when you wake up in the morning.

To choose the right anti-wrinkle eye cream, you need to know which active ingredients actually help to uplift and firm up the skin. For example, ceramides make up the natural skin barrier, which helps the skin to retain moisture for longer. It is ultimately the dryness of the skin that is mainly responsible for wrinkles. Other active ingredients should be tailored to your individual needs.

What makes a good eye cream?

A good eye cream isn’t just one that is right for your age, but also one that gives the skin around the eyes what it really needs. While all that is really required in your early 20s is to ensure that the skin around your eyes is sufficiently hydrated, with more mature skin, more ingredients that reduce the signs of ageing are required.

Typical ingredients in eye creams include:

• Q10, which neutralises free radicals and helps to create visibly firmer skin
• Hyaluronic acid, which creates a long-lasting moisture reserve in the skin
• Collagen, which retains moisture in the skin, giving it a firmer appearance
• Vitamin E, which protects the collagen scaffold in the skin
• Retinol, which promotes the regeneration of skin cells and reduces the size of pores

The ultimate tip for eye cream

For the ultimate refreshing kick, you can keep your eye cream in the fridge. This makes the eye cream feel amazing when you put it on and makes you feel refreshed and alert in the morning with an instant energy boost. Especially after nights with little sleep, when you are dealing with lots of stress and in summer, the chilled cream is an absolute highlight and the skin around your eyes is sure to thank you for this beauty booster.
