The skin around the eyes is very fine and thin, without a fat membrane, the collagen fibers responsible for its elasticity are present in small amounts. The most common problems are dryness, swelling due to accumulation of lymph and dark circles due to impaired microcirculation.
The first wrinkles appear in this area. Another obvious problem with age-related changes is the drop in the upper eyelid, which visually adds years.
Deterioration of the skin structure is exacerbated by aggressive environmental effects, ultraviolet radiation from the sun, oxidative processes caused by dehydration.
It is impossible to reverse time, but a few simple rules will help rejuvenate the skin around the eyes and slow down its aging.
The dream of beauty
“Sleeping beauty” is not just a term, but truly the key to prolonging youth. A complete night’s rest restores the natural balance of the epidermal layer and increases the effectiveness of the cosmetics used.
The process of cell regeneration takes place at night, so the epidermis automatically regenerates during sleep. In the absence of rest, there are signs of age-related changes - dark circles and bags under the eyes, wrinkles become more pronounced.
Choosing the right cream
Anti-aging eye creams are light, easy to apply and absorb. There are usually no fragrances that can cause hypersensitivity (sensitization) in skin cells.
Retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and herbal extracts are generally key ingredients in anti-aging products that provide long-term hydration to the epidermal layer, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, smooth wrinkles, reduce puffiness, and lighten swelling.
When choosing a cream, you should focus on the needs of your skin. If you are prone to swelling and dark circles, look for ingredients such as vitamin K, caffeine, cornflower or arnica extract in addition to anti-aging ingredients.
