How to care for the skin around the eyes and eyelids
Eye cream – marketing or necessity? Many people ask this question.
When the skin is young and does not have problems with expression wrinkles or dark circles, there is no need for special care.
Elena Masalitina, founder of the botanical cosmetics brand Masaliti, told how to care for the skin around the eyes and eyelids.
As we age, we experience stress, hyper-fatigue, lack of sleep, and sometimes have bad habits – as a result, we notice wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles under our eyes in the mirror. And at this point, we decide to resort to cosmetics or cosmetic injections of vitamins or hyaluronic acid.
If you have an active, mobile eyelid, a tendency to expression wrinkles, it is better to use care as a preventative measure with the 30+ mark.
For women aged 35-40, eyelid skin care is already a necessity and is used as a routine. It helps smooth out wrinkles, correct puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
For delicate eyelid skin, choose light textures of care in the form of emulsions or gels. Pay attention to the following components in these creams:
- Vitamin C: evens out tone, improves texture;
- Hyaluronic acid: provides deep hydration;
- Peptides: reduce wrinkles, increase elasticity.
It is also important to apply eye cream in a special way - not on the upper or lower eyelid itself, which is the main common mistake, but along the eyelid bone at the bottom and top.
The product is applied with light patting movements.
In addition to basic cosmetic care, it is recommended to do special exercises to strengthen the muscles around the eyes.
Daily exercises coupled with the use of eye cream will help to maintain youth and freshness of the look for many years.
