The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive, so special attention should be paid to this area in daily facial care. It is also very important because this is where the first signs of skin aging and loss of elasticity appear. The most common problem is, for example, drooping eyelids, which are a consequence of loss of elasticity and skin tone. However, this process can be delayed or even reversed – check out how skin care around the eyes should be.
Proper moisturization of the skin
The basis of daily facial care, especially care of the skin around the eyes, should be adequate moisturization. After all, dry skin is the first step to loss of elasticity and suppleness. The relationship between the level of water in the body and the elasticity of the skin can be easily seen by age. Newborns have the highest percentage of body water – older people the lowest. So it stands to reason that hydration and moisturization are very important for the condition of the skin.
Note with makeup
With optimal eye care in mind, it is also important to remember to apply makeup judiciously. It is important not to apply too many heavy cosmetics on the upper eyelid. It is recommended to avoid applying primer in this area. In addition, it is also important to remember to remove makeup, obligatory before going to bed, and preferably to wash off makeup as soon as you get home.
Sleep and skin regeneration
In caring for the skin under the eyes, as well as around them, sleep is of great importance. Its deficiency manifests itself primarily in this area. Sitting up late with inadequate and artificial lighting, as well as lack of rest, leads to swollen skin around the eyes, also results in unsightly bruises and greatly accelerates the aging process. In addition, nighttime sleep (especially between 2 and 4 in the morning) is the best time for skin regeneration, so it is important to give your body a rest.
Eye cream is a must
Of course, skin care under the eyes can not do without the use of appropriate eye creams. They should be selected according to skin type, as well as age. It’s important to use different products on the area around the eyes and to start using cosmetics appropriate to the completed age as early as possible – they are enriched with collagen, which strengthens the skin and prevents loss of firmness.
Firming treatments
Loss of firmness is an inevitable consequence of the skin aging process. When this happens, facial wrinkles deepen in the eye area, and new furrows appear. Then just taking care of the skin around the eyes with creams and serums may not be enough. Then it is worth opting for various firming treatments that will stimulate the skin to produce collagen, thereby improving its tone and elasticity. It is also a good way to shallow those wrinkles that have already appeared on the face. It is a good idea to use firming treatments even before the appearance of more serious furrows and wrinkles – this will significantly delay the process of their formation.
How to turn back time, or eyelid plastics
While slight wrinkles around the eyes can be reversed or reduced with treatments, the problem of drooping eyelids can only be solved with eyelid plastic surgery. The surgical procedure removes excess skin in the eye area, as well as visibly “opening the eye” and tightening the skin around the eyes. Eyelid plastic surgery procedures allow the effect of turning back time – once performed, the difference is very big.
