“The eyes are the windows to the soul” - this is the first feature that attracts the eyes of the other person. The “windows to the soul” cannot be radiant if the skin around them has dark circles, eye bags or wrinkles. Are you having problems with the skin around your eyes? In this article, let’s learn with Dermalogica about things to keep in mind when eye care ok
Why do we need to take care of the eye area?
The eye area is only about 0.5 mm wide on average. However, this is the area where the earliest signs of aging often appear. The main cause of aging in the eye area is that the skin structure in this area is much more fragile than other skin areas on the face. In addition, the eyes are often active: blinking, squinting and other emotional expressions make this area of skin more susceptible to wrinkles.
Besides, harmful external factors, especially UV rays in sunlight, cause negative effects on the eye area. Therefore, as a result, this skin area shows signs of premature aging: sagging, eye bags, dark circles, wrinkles...
4 things to remember when taking care of the eye area
The eye area is especially sensitive and more vulnerable than other skin areas on the face. Therefore, taking care of the eye area also requires special attention. Join Dermalogica to learn about 4 things to remember when taking care of this skin area!
Sun protection for eye area
The harmful effects of UV rays (ultraviolet rays) in sunlight on the skin have been proven in many studies. Direct exposure to sunlight causes the collagen structure in the skin's dermis to break down. This causes the skin to sag and form wrinkles. This effect is especially obvious on thin skin areas such as the eyes - sensitive and vulnerable skin areas.
Therefore, to effectively care for the eye area, using sunscreen daily for this skin area is what you should do. Besides, you should equip yourself with a pair of sunglasses when exposed to sunlight to increase the effectiveness of skin protection!
Healthy diet and lifestyle
Nutrition and daily activities greatly affect skin health. And the skin around the eyes is no exception to this. Lack of sleep, alcohol use, tobacco... cause dark circles and wrinkles to appear on the eye area. Therefore, to take good care of the eye area skin, in addition to taking care of the skin from the outside. Building a suitable lifestyle and nutrition regimen is also very important. Please ensure you adhere to the following regime:
- Avoid bad habits such as: squinting, frowning, rubbing eyes...
- Do not drink too much alcohol, smoke cigarettes and use alcoholic beverages and stimulants.
- Build a nutritional menu with all 5 groups of substances: Starch, fat, protein (protein, vitamins and minerals).
- Get enough sleep, you should make sure to sleep 7-9 hours/day.
Be gentle!
Applying too much force to the eye area is a common mistake. Using strong force will cause facial skin damage and wrinkles to appear. Therefore, this fragile and sensitive skin area needs to be "pampered".
When affecting this skin area, try to be as gentle as possible. When using cream and massaging the eye area, use your pinky finger. Because the strength of the little finger is often the weakest compared to other fingers. And remember to massage the eye area from bottom to top and from the inside out!
Special skin care cream for the eye area
Moisturizing is the key to helping prevent wrinkles and aging of the eye area. Using a moisturizer for the whole face is a mistake for most of us. The skin around the eyes is often thinner and more sensitive than other skin areas on the face. Therefore, we need to choose a separate cream for the eye area.
