Whether we use mascara,eyeliner, or eyeshadow, the eyes tend to be the area of the face that we like to highlight. They are the focal point of the face and they show our expressions and emotions. Looking into anothers eyes shows interest and focus. Proper care of the eye area is essential to maintaining a healthy and radiant glow.
The skin around the eyes is ten times thinner than the rest of the face. As we age this skin becomes even thinner due to the breakdown of collagen. The elasticity of the skin decreases and produces fine lines in the area. This can be further aggravated by sun exposure, smoking, and other environmental exposures. The skin of the eye contour is constantly moving and blinking alone produces 10,000 movements per day!
With proper care, many common symptoms can be avoided. Caring for the skin around the eyes is a delicate process. Because it is thinner, it not only tends to be the first place to show signs of aging, but also is more sensitive than the rest of the skin. It is important to use a cream that is specific to the eye area so that elasticity and moisture can be addressed.
