The eye contour, how to care for it?

Eye contour: This area has very thin skin, in fact, about ten times thinner than the rest, and its moisturizing management is very small, since it does not contain enough sebaceous and sweat glands.

As it is such a delicate area and many times, we do not take care of it enough, either because we do not know how or because we do not use the appropriate cosmetics, here are some recommendations that you can apply:

Protection:

Protecting the skin of this part of the face is essential, since it is more delicate than normal and we must preserve it by applying special creams and specific sun protection, which will prevent the entry of ultraviolet rays into the cells, which directly cause the disease. premature skin aging.

How to apply creams to the area?

We must apply the specific product for the eye contour by tapping from the inside out only on the fixed eyelids (that is, in the lower area on the bone that is just below the dark circle and on the upper eyelid on the bone that is below the eyebrow). The way you manipulate the skin in this part of the face is essential, we should never be abrupt or stretch it excessively.

It is not advisable to put a facial cream around the eyes, because it has too much of everything (fat, nutrition, hydration, etc.). If this skin absorbs too much product it will swell with water because it cannot synthesize the product and bags will appear.

Nutrients:

It is necessary that we keep the area well nourished. One of the main nutrients in the skin is collagen, which the body generates from vitamin C. Therefore, it is essential to eat foods rich in this vitamin.

The eye makeup remover product should also be specific for that area and different from what is used for the rest of the face. These products are formulated to remove makeup without irritating the skin.

Better to use the fingertips and not cotton, which removes natural hydration in addition to irritating the skin.

Sleep:

Sleep eight hours. Resting correctly will help you have your eyes more relaxed, you will force less blinking typical of tiredness, and you will avoid eye bags caused by exhaustion and fluid accumulation.

Drink water!
