Reach up and touch your eye area – it feels more delicate than the bouncier skin on my cheeks, right? The skin in this area IS more fragile and needs special attention.
Why do eyes need different skincare?
This extra sensitive area is home to the thinnest skin on your body with zero oil glands meaning it can get dry very easily. The delicate skin is more prone to the signs of ageing and is the first place to show fine lines. It’s also a terrible secret keeper, revealing signs of stress, lack of sleep and dehydration, it’s a unique area of skin that requires specialist attention and care.
Common eye area complaints
- Fine lines: Dehydration plays a big part.
- Wrinkles: Collagen production naturally declines as we age.
- Dark circles: Darker skin which can come from discolouration.
- Puffiness: Usually a sign of dehydration and lack of sleep.
What makes it worse?
- Sun exposure: UV rays attack the lower layers of the skin damaging collagen and causing discolouration, textural changes and dryness – a problem for the area that has no oil glands.
- Oxidative stress from the environment including pollution and extreme temperature changes leads to DNA damage which will show up on the skin as visible premature ageing.
- A lack of personalised skincare – leaving your eye area to fend for itself against environmental aggressors will lead to damage. Skipping hydration will also lead to deeper fine lines and long-term skin issues.
