Looking after your eyes, what really works
Lets have a look at Looking after your eyes
In today’s blog we are going to be seeing whats good when Looking after your eyes.
If you have dark circles around them or crows feet or even bags under them what is the best way to look after your eyes.
Dark circles
There are three causes of dark circles, Some people have very thin skin, so you see the circulation of the blood vessels underneath. Others actually have hyperpigmentation under the eyes, which means they have more melanin concentrated there than in other areas of the face. A third type is the “shadow effect” which occurs when a person has a natural hollow under the eye causing light to reflect in a way that creates a dusky look there. A lot of people have two or three of these issues at the same time.
Topical creams are really only effective for hyperpigmentation, as its the only one that is on the skin’s surface out of the 3 different causes of dark circles. Products that include Vitamin C, the lightening agent hydroquinone, and non-hydroquinone lightening ingredients such as kojic acid and arbutin are best to look out for.
If you have one of the other two types, circulatory or shadows then hyaluronic acid gel fillers, such as Juvéderm, are your best bet. Fillers do a wonderful job of improving the way the light bounces off the skin under the eye to take away that shadowing effect.
Crows feet & crepey lids
As we age, the skin around our eyes gets thinner, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Dermatologists distinguish between crow’s feet, the “squint lines” around the eyes’ outer corners, and the crepey fine lines on the upper and lower eyelids.
Because the skin around our eyes is the thinnest on our faces it loses moisture very quickly so you will need to use creams and lotions that are very hydrating, look out for creams with hyaluronic acid it will help to bring a plumpness back to the skin to minimise wrinkles.
Bags under our eyes
We all have pads under our eyes that contain fat, genetic factors and aging cause those pads to increase in fat over time. Allergies, salty foods and crying can also cause temporary puffiness around the eyes.
Topical creams will only relieve the area temporarily, massaging around yours eyes can help. Sunscreen is just as important as eye cream as it does help with dark under eyes. Protect your eye area like you do your face, with SPF every day and you’ll see fewer fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles over time.
So don’t forget that Looking after your eyes is as important if not more important than looking after the rest of your face.
