Our reflection... the Eyes!

Perhaps one of the most important parts of our face and the most suffering. Our eyes. They reflect our psychology and our health. The skin around the eye area is more sensitive. It needs more and more careful care. However, many times the skincare routine goes wrong.

The amount of cream we apply. The skin will absorb as much material as it needs. The extra will stay on the surface of the skin creating excess moisture. The appropriate amount for the eye cream is one lens for each eye.

The eye area is sensitive and needs the corresponding attention. We apply the cream with dabbing light movements, preferably with the middle finger, as this is how the appropriate force is exerted.

Eye creams are designed to be applied to the lower lid and around the eye area at the level of the brow bone. We don't need to put material on the mobile eyelid, because it weighs it down and makes our eyes look tired.

If you're avoiding eye cream before makeup so that the concealer sets better, then you're thinking wrong. Eye cream is considered the best moisturizing base before makeup, as it prevents the skin from drying out from heavy makeup. Just let the cream absorb 2 minutes before applying the cosmetic product.

Regular and repeated should be the eye care routine if you want visible results. Use morning and night after cleansing your face and for consecutive weeks consistently.

The look loses its freshness and youth if it is dehydrated. You need to use your eye cream to even prevent signs of aging, wrinkles and dryness.

Pay attention to the choice of eye cream that you will make to meet your own needs. Its components must be suitable to deal with the subject for which you are using it. It's not enough that it's just a good eye cream recommended by someone you know.

The eye cream should be applied at any age. Wrinkles are not the only eye problem. Dark circles and dryness are both genetic and lifestyle issues.

Start using eye care products from your early 20s as the microcirculation under the eyes is very easily broken and betrayed by dark circles. A little insomnia, a little late nights, maybe even heredity have this effect. Try not to expose yourself to the sun without glasses and sunscreen. A vitamin C cream combined with whitening agents or even eye patches would help.

At 30, bags and puffy eyes start to appear. This is due to fluid retention. Irregular schedules, long hours of work in front of the computer, excessive consumption of salt, an allergy are some of the causes that create bags that eventually become permanent wrinkles. To reduce annoying puffiness under the eyes, take an ice cube and massage the eyelid in a circular motion, from the outside to the inside, for 2-3 minutes. Try to avoid foods with sodium and try sleeping with an elevated pillow to keep your eyes from swelling. Non-greasy creams are preferable.

If you are 40 you have to deal with expression lines, the so-called "crow's feet". You can fill in wrinkles with creams that have an anti-aging and firming effect, with ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, glycolic acid and vitamin A. These elements help the skin regenerate and renew itself. Try to reduce your sodium intake and wear dark glasses when you are out in the sun.

During menopause (50+), the skin needs more hydration, due to the drastic loss of lipids that results in intense dryness in the eye area. Invest in rich moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and aloe or firming products that say "lifting" on the packaging for a total lift.

In any situation you are concerned about, changes in lifestyle and diet can only contribute in a positive way. Minimizing alcohol, smoking and sodium, meeting sleep and hydration needs are some of them
