Why You Should Invest in an Eye Cream

eye cream
They say that our eyes are the windows to our soul, so why not treat them! Eye creams are an essential part of skincare that commonly get overlooked. Unlike the rest of your skin, the skin around your eyes is more delicate and thinner than anywhere else, which is why it can be the first area to show signs of aging!  Omitting eye cream from your skincare routine can result in dark circles under the eyes, puffiness and ultimately you looking more tired and stressed.

Benefits of Using an Eye Cream

While smiling is good for the soul, for many people smiling and laughing causes the facial muscles to contract in such a way that can cause fine lines and wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes, resulting in wrinkles commonly called Crow’s Feet. Eye creams are typically thicker in consistency and provide ingredients that are key in ensuring your skin remains hydrated in that area, making it harder for wrinkles and fine lines to form.

Fluid can also build up around the eyes due to lack of sleep, stress or allergies.  Active ingredients, antioxidants and hydrators are chosen in specific potencies in eye creams to address these concerns, leaving you with brighter, more refreshed eyes!

Since the eye area is so delicate, it needs additional protection from the elements. An eye cream creates an additional barrier between the skin and external elements like pollutants and makeup. Additionally, eye creams can act as a primer, helping your foundation and concealer apply more easily and last longer.

When to Start Using Eye Cream

Most people only start using eye creams when they begin to notice fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles or puffiness. However, dermatologists recommend you start using eye creams as a staple in your skincare routine as early as your 20s! Preventative measures can help to reduce signs of aging, and prevent damage caused by dehydration, constant movement and discoloration. But regardless of if you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s, it’s never too late to start! At Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery, our Medical Aesthetician has carefully selected some standout eye creams that cater to your unique skin care needs.
