Eye contour creams: everything you need to know
The eye contour area ages more easily than the skin of the rest of the face. Very often, this area is forgotten and does not receive the attention needed to keep it looking well and youthful. Why does it age, and how and with which products should we care for the eye contour? In Casmara Secrets, we’ll tell you everything.
The eye contour is an extremely sensitive and delicate area which betrays our age early. This is the first area where tiredness, happiness, stress and/or the passage of time is reflected, resulting in signs such as eye bags, dark circles, small expression lines (crow’s feet), wrinkles, flaccidity or dryness.
It is important to care for it with specific products to keep it looking well for longer.
Why does the eye contour age more quickly?
Eye contour skin is very thin and fragile; it lacks sebaceous glands and collagen and elastin fibers. Furthermore, this small area comprises 22 muscles, and we blink approximatively 10,000 times a day.
The eyelids and eye contour are exposed to tearing, laughing, smiling, crying, and continuous movement due to our facial expressions. Moreover, it is an area where liquids are easily retained, factors which cause swelling in the area to increase and decrease, distorting the skin, and consequently, the first signs of aging appear more quickly.
This constant “exercise” combined with other types of external aggressions that also increase the likelihood of the eye contour aging more quickly, such as pollution, tobacco smoke, stress, sun exposure, mobile devices, and so on, makes it the first area to reflect signs of aging.
For this reason, keeping a youthful look is becoming one of our main goals.
Why should you use an eye contour cream?
It is important to give areas that need special care, such as the eye contour, specific attention in the daily routine.
Eye contour creams are products that are used to care for and treat this very delicate area, which are exclusively formulated for it.
Which active ingredients should an eye contour cream have?
Eye contour creams are formulated with draining, decongestive, anti-wrinkle active ingredients, etc.
The purpose of these active ingredients is to repair signs of aging, reduce expression lines, mitigate the pigments responsible for darkening under-eye circles, and relieve and improve circulation, achieving a more youthful look.
The best eye contour creams are the ones that have anti-wrinkle and anti-aging active ingredients, which intensively treat the eye contour to recover the skin’s firmness and elasticity. The ones formulated with hyaluronic acid or active ingredients that stimulate collagen production are perfect for achieving a visibly more youthful look, eliminating expression lines and getting more hydrated skin.
Also, those which have antioxidant properties are suitable for preventing the appearance of wrinkles.
Eye contour cream textures
There are different eye contour cream textures, all of which are light so that they do not weigh down and are absorbed quickly.
There are lighter textures and gels, which provide cool care to the area to relieve it, to soothe eye bags and dark circles and to illuminate; and cream textures which are intended to deeply hydrate eye contour dryness and provide an ideal anti-aging and anti-wrinkle care.
It is important that the texture of eye contour cream is light so that it can be easily absorbed, since, as we have previously said, this is a very sensitive area with very thin skin.
When should you use an eye contour cream?
Using an eye contour cream from the age of 25 is recommended, before the first signs of aging appear, or beforehand if there is already a concern or a problem, in order to prevent it from getting worse.
It is important to be consistent and to use an eye contour cream regularly, both in the morning and at night.
Apply it first thing in the morning, after the cleansing routine, as it will reduce puffiness. Allow it to be completely absorbed and continue with the products of your daily beauty routine.
Conversely, using an eye contour cream at night will help to hydrate skin tissues, compensating for the damage that they have received during the day.
If you take these steps every day, you will notice a significant change.
How should you apply an eye contour cream?
You should know that the effects of an eye contour cream are also due to the way that it is applied.
Firstly, before applying it, skin must be totally clean, as the active ingredients will penetrate more easily this way. Furthermore, cleansing the skin with warm water will help pores to dilate and the cream to be absorbed better.
After cleansing, take a small drop of the product, proportional to a grain of rice, and apply it with the tip of the ring finger. We recommend using this finger to spread the product, as it is the one which applies the least amount of pressure to the face.
It is important to start applying the product by using gentle massaging motions and without pulling, in order to drain the area. Apply the cream to the eye socket area and the area beneath the eyebrows.
If you have deeper wrinkles in the area, massage a little more firmly; in this way, the product will perfectly penetrate the skin.
If you spread the eye contour cream from the outside to the inside, it has a positive effect on blood circulation and enables the drainage of accumulated fluid though the corner of the eye.
Finish applying it with small tapping motions so that the product finishes absorbing.
