Why does the eyelid skin need hydration?

Eye cream is as important as, for example, hand cream. This is not a casual analogy. See for yourself. The skin of the hands has the fewest sebaceous glands, so it is most often dry. And if it is not moisturized and protected properly, early aging is guaranteed.

It's the same story with the skin around the eyes. It is thin, vulnerable, due to a lack of sebaceous glands, it quickly becomes dry, and wrinkles appear here first. There are several other factors that primarily affect this area.

Lack of hydration. Neglecting moisturizer can lead to the appearance of crow's feet.

General dehydration. The skin is supplied with moisture and nutrients according to the residual principle. Therefore, a lack of moisture in the body will immediately affect its quality, and first of all, the condition of the skin around the eyes. In the form of dryness, irritation, superficial wrinkles.

Influence of aggressive environmental factorssuch as wind, frost, sudden temperature changes, dry air.

Strict diet. The stricter the dietary restrictions, the greater the deficiency of nutrients in the body. And the less of them will go to the skin, despite the fact that it is the largest organ of the human body.

Incorrect cosmetic care. Forgetting to take off your makeup at night, not applying moisturizer in the morning, using facial product in the area around the eyes - all this can lead to dryness, dullness, and premature wrinkles.

Proper eyelid skin care

The key word here is regularity. The skin around the eyes requires care twice a day.

After washing and toning, apply a cream to the skin of the eyelids that meets its needs: moisturizing, refreshing (against swelling and dark circles), anti-aging. The application pattern is simple: use the pad of the ring finger with light driving movements along the orbital bone.

Remove eye makeup using a special product (most often they are two-phase), wash your face, treat your face with toner, and then apply eye cream. There is no need to fear that cream applied to the skin of the eyelids at night will cause swelling.

Now the textures have become lighter, the composition is more thoughtful, and the rules of proper care require using eye cream an hour and a half before going to bed. So there will be no swelling.

Moisturizers for eyelid skin

Let's start with the main thing - the composition of cosmetics for caring for the skin around the eyes. The formulas of the most effective products usually contain the following ingredients:

For some reason, most women believe that they should start using eye cream after 35 years. They say that it is during this period that the elasticity and natural hydration of the skin in this area is lost, and it is necessary to nourish it. Cosmetologists assure: the sooner you start taking care, the longer you can maintain youth and avoid facial wrinkles. If you consciously take care of your skin from a young age, you can overcome your genetic predisposition to early aging.

It must be remembered that under the skin of the eyelids there is practically no subcutaneous fat, little muscle, the upper layer of the dermis is thin and sensitive to irritation, so an overly aggressive composition of cosmetic preparations can lead to allergies or inflammation. And you need to be as careful as possible in choosing the right product.

10 best eye creams

How to choose the right eye cream

Creams for the skin around the eyes, more than caring face creams, are saturated with active ingredients and, as a rule, are aimed at solving several problems. Therefore, before making a purchase, you need to understand what exactly we will be fighting with: crow’s feet, dark circles under the eyes, increased dry skin, age-related changes. Moreover, the modern beauty industry is ready to offer a rich selection with a wide range of active substances.

For the area around the eyes, the cream can be selected in the same way as for the face: day and night. Only the daytime one will be lighter and moisturizing, and the nighttime one will be nourishing, caring, with a large number of active ingredients.

1. Always pay attention to the age label on the packaging. Buy only the one that suits your age category. At the age of 25, there is no need to use an anti-aging product intended for those who have already crossed the 45 mark. At a young age, the ideal option is a gel-based cream that moisturizes the skin well.

At 30 - 40 years old, the skin already requires maintaining elasticity, giving firmness, nutrition and hydration, so you can already look towards products containing hyaluronic acid and collagen. Cosmetologists recommend creams containing grape seed and avocado oils.

After 40 years, beauty experts advise placing creams with a lifting effect on your dressing table, which tighten the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and even out the relief. Anti-age creams most often include fruit acids, retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and lipids.

2. The cream must undergo ophthalmological control; this information is always indicated on the label. And, of course, look at the expiration date. Often good creams “live” no more than 6 months after opening due to the content of fewer irritating preservatives and more natural ingredients.

3. It is better not to apply too greasy creams at night - this can lead to swelling. This is because the oily texture forms a film on the skin. A greenhouse effect occurs, which causes the accumulation of excess fluid in the tissues.

How to apply eye cream correctly

First you need to cleanse your skin and thoroughly remove traces of makeup. Important: the eyelid product is used after the serum and concentrate, but strictly before the face cream.

1. You shouldn’t squeeze a lot of cream out of the tube; one pea-sized drop is enough.

Any cream or gel on the skin spreads within a radius of about 1 cm. When we apply the cream close to the eyelashes, it reaches the eyelash contour and into the eye itself. Because of this, irritation or swelling occurs, so the product must be applied to the orbital bones, and in no case to the mobile upper eyelid or to the bags under the eyes. The cream is applied around the protruding bone in a circular motion, starting from the temple to the bridge of the nose.

It is better to apply the cream with your ring finger; cosmetologists say that only it performs movements of minimal force. You need to act carefully so as not to stretch the thin skin. Do not rub in under any circumstances!

What composition should be in an eye cream?

1. Vitamins of group K. They are an excellent antioxidant that retain moisture in the cells of the dermis and help make bruises under the eyes less noticeable, and strengthens capillaries well.

1. Tea extracts. Another effective antioxidant with long-lasting anti-inflammatory effects.

Coenzyme Q10 controls the energy production of cells and protects the skin from sunburn.

Hyaluronic acid. Restores the skin well and strengthens the protective function of the skin.

Cornflower hydrolate. Reduces dark circles, relieves puffiness and inflammation, affects small wrinkles.

Ceramides. Fights skin dehydration. Softens and improves skin elasticity.

Peptides are essential fighters against fine wrinkles and promote the production of collagen and elastin.

Herbal extracts: chamomile, tea, cucumber, calendula. These components have a soothing effect on the surface of the skin.

Hydroxic acids remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and speed up the process of the appearance of a new layer of skin. But in combination with this substance, the composition must include a sunscreen.

I’m 33, I have dry skin under my eyes, I just can’t find a cream that would really moisturize throughout the day. In the morning, I think I apply it, but in the afternoon, when I smile, there are a lot of wrinkles, because the skin dries out again, and it feels dry.. Give me some good advice. If not a cream, then what can moisturize the skin around the eye well, and if a cream, then what? Thank you!

Oils in this area only harm. for dry skin

Coconut and shea butter

peach or apricot oil for dry skin under the eyes has become a salvation for me. but they need to be applied ONLY TO DAMP or wet skin. because the oils themselves do not moisturize. and keep in mind that apricot kernel oil is often counterfeited, because... it's quite expensive. As a rule, pharmacies sell counterfeits

H2O in a red jar helped me a lot. Perfectly moisturizes.

I really like the lundenilona serum and mask for the skin around the eyes, they moisturize the skin perfectly

salcura cream is very nourishing, you can, it is absorbed quickly and the skin does not dry out for a long time.

No oil allowed. In general, it is not suitable for daily use! This is the effect that the oil moisturizes; in fact, when the skin becomes saturated, it stops being absorbed and, on the contrary, draws moisture from the skin!
Add oils to wet discs and place on your eyes when making masks once a week. This is quite enough to nourish the skin of the eyelids with oils.

On cotton pads, girls

You really can’t use oils every day. Buy videstim ointment at the pharmacy - it contains vitamin A, it copes well with dryness and prevents skin aging

I suffered for a long time until a friend gave me this cream. It’s convenient to apply, and it’s not expensive, I begged her from the place where I buy it, now I take it when I have such a problem.

Regular Vaseline under the eyes helps a lot. It is not absorbed and creates a film under the eyes that retains moisture. Vaseline oil has the same effect. And liquid silicone has the same effect. It helps very quickly in a matter of days.

oil - apricot, cream - videstim. The question here is what is more convenient to smear. I don't like butter.

Author, good day! My mother had such a problem, we managed to solve it with eye oil from Kleona. It is completely natural, has not only a moisturizing effect, but also anti-aging. It costs about 250 rubles. We take it for libretim.
By the way, do you use concealer/corrector/toner on the area under your eyes?

Alina, hello! Your skin is dry, which means it lacks its lipids, not moisture. What you are advised to use moisturizing creams is wrong, since they are needed for dehydrated skin, not dry skin! For you, competent care is Vichy Nutrilozh 1 Dry Skin Cream to protect dry skin. It contains the necessary nourishing oils to restore the barrier properties of the epidermis, plus a special technology for delivering them to the deep layers of the skin. You feel the result immediately from the first use - all day long without a feeling of tightness, the skin is soft and elastic. The texture is non-greasy, quickly absorbed, a good base for makeup. Apply in the morning to well-cleansed facial skin, under the eyes - no need, it will also get there through the natural bloodstream anyway . This medicinal cosmetic product is sold only in pharmacies. Good luck!
