Eye skin care

Eye skin care – why is it so important?

Eye care becomes increasingly important as we get older. Because with age the skin and eyes become more tired and wrinkled. But even in our youth, they are often dry. This is because the skin around the eyes has less fatty tissue than the skin on the face, which makes it much less elastic.

It dries out more quickly and has a greater tendency to form wrinkles than the skin on the cheeks. What’s more, you can also see lymph vessels and veins shining through the delicate skin around the eyes. Dark circles also always become more clearly visible as we age because the blood and lymph vessels around the eyes than other parts of the skin on the face.

Beauty routine for eye skin care

The eye area requires special care because it is particularly sensitive and tends to dry out, and because the skin around the eye is the first to show signs of ageing. Therefore, a special eye cream that is suitable for the requirements of your skin type is essential.

As a general rule, several products are needed to provide the eye area with the proper care:

• an eye care
• an eye serum
• an eye gel

Which benefits do special eye skin care products have?

With the right eye care products for daily use, wrinkles caused by dryness can be combated and laughter lines reduced. While an eye cream provides the basic moisture required, an eye gel is usually applied as a roll-on to provide instant freshness and a cooling effect to reduce swelling. An eye serum, on the other hand, contains a high concentration of active ingredients that care for the eye area.

These include, for example:

• Hyaluronic acid for long-lasting moisture
• Coenzyme Q10, which increases the skin's elasticity and prevents the signs of ageing
• Retinol to reduce the depth of fine lines
• Grape oil, which makes the skin smooth
• Green tea, which refreshes the sensitive skin around the eyes

When all of these eye care products are used in combination, together with your face care routine, they create a good basis for ensuring the skin on your face looks radiant and well-cared for. When your eyes look awake and refreshed, they contribute towards a youthful, fresh appearance, which increases your own well-being.

Eye care for sensitive skin

If you suffer from particularly sensitive skin around your eyes, you can rely on natural cosmetics. They are free from fragrances or preservatives and are generally well tolerated by all skin types. Natural active ingredients such as chamomile or ginkgo also have a caring and moisturising effect while giving the eye area a brilliant glow.

The important thing is to find an eye cream which is well-tolerated. After all, sweat, tears or rubbing your eyes can cause the particles of cream or serum to get in the eyes. Normally, this shouldn’t cause any problems as they will be flushed out by the tear film, but it can cause irritation for contact lens wearers, for example. That’s why, when it comes to eye care products, not only should the compatibility of the products on the skin be taken into account but also their compatibility with the eyes, just in case one of your products does get into them.
