What Do You Need for a Restful Gaze at Any Age?

Dimitra Karagiannidi

Fine lines and expression wrinkles around the eyes may lend a touch of beauty, but the passage of time brings surprises, many of which are not so lovely. It's beautiful to mature, but it's much better to mature gracefully, with "signs" that strengthen our confidence rather than our fears. We shall learn how to do it correctly here.

Scientists believe they first see their eyes. When we view someone in the eyes, their shape is instantaneously engraved in our brains. They provide an early indicator of our personality and mood. They represent minor, everyday things that exhaust us and bear witness to our age without fear or emotion.

The sensitive eye area is likely the most needed care and therapy in our cosmetic regimen. Knowing all the specifics regarding the wear and tear caused by external and endogenous causes will allow us to make the best product choices and get beautiful, youthful skin at any age.

The Sensitive Eye Area

The skin around the eyes is fragile and sensitive (10 times thinner than the rest of the face). Dehydration of the eye region contributes to a loss of elasticity and the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Wrinkles work underground, growing inside the skin long before they become apparent.

Essentially, the first indications of aging are detected at age 35 in the form of dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles beneath the eyes, but also radially, on the outer side, producing the well-known "crow's feet." At 50, wrinkles have become pretty deep, and sagging has begun to appear. The skin thins, the bags grow more noticeable, and the eyes appear drooping and tired.

What's Wrong?

One of the primary reasons why the skin "cracks," appears weary and dull, and is left defenseless against damaging solar radiation is a lack of water/moisture. Endogenous variables such as thyroid illness, liver disease, heart disease, iron deficiency, and use of cortisone and antidepressants all have a part in the heavy and worn aspect of the eyes. Of course, lack of sleep, alcohol, smoking, stress, poor food, and extreme weariness play a role, but it is up to us to reduce or even remove our share of the blame.

And Now, What Do We Do for a Rested Look?

Every night, regardless of age, we wipe the sensitive eye region of makeup and air toxins. We use the appropriate cream in the morning and evening and supplement with the correct serum and serum to achieve the best results. We must constantly go gently and upward.

At 20: We're talking about prevention here. Every night, we properly cleanse our skin. Throughout the year, we apply hydrating eye lotions containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins C and E, and UV protection.

At 30: Moisturizers and eye serums with antioxidant capabilities and broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection are essential. We seek products that include soy, coffee berry, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid, which is suitable for most skin types and helps diminish fine wrinkles.

At 40: The skin around the eyes (and the entire face) becomes dry and less elastic due to the progressive reduction of estrogen and hormonal problems linked with the coming menopause. For even greater results, we use fortified eye moisturizers with a rich texture and SPF and a vitamin C, retinol, and collagen serum before our moisturizer.

At 50: We concentrate on firming and constant hydration. We utilize richly textured eye moisturizers containing SPF, hyaluronic acid, retinol, shea butter, squalene, and antioxidants.

Apart from the beforementioned advice, there are also some general tips you should always consider when taking care of the eye area. 

Be gentle, always!

It's critical to be delicate when removing your eye makeup and applying cosmetics to the area surrounding your eyes. As previously said, the skin around your eyes is relatively thin. As a result, the additional stress from our regular activities can lead to extra fine lines.

Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize some more!

Moisturizing your skin is one of those overlooked measures that should be considered. Consider our skin to be a grape. When it loses water, it begins to shrink, and wrinkles form.

However, putting that water back in can help plump the skin and minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The same is true for our eyes. They are more prone to dryness because they lack oil glands (our skin's natural moisturizer).

Sun protection is a must!

Sun exposure may contribute significantly to skin aging and cause the skin beneath your eyes to darken. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to any skin care regimen and should be used daily. Even if the sky is overcast, UVA rays still cause harm.

Remember your upper eyelid. When applying sunscreen, this is one of the most commonly ignored places.
