How do I take care of my eye area?

The eye area is one of the most vulnerable areas of our face. It is also this which generally reveals the first signs of aging. Our advice for taking the greatest care of it.

Did you know that we blink an average of 15,000 times a day ? An impressive figure, making the eye contour one of the most used areas of our face .

Very poor in collagen, the eye area is also devoid of sebaceous glands. Result: this area tends to dry out much faster than our cheeks, our nose or even our forehead. It is also a particularly fragile area, the skin around the eyes being on average 4 to 5 times thinner than the rest of our face. Features that make the eye area one of the most sensitive areas of our body.

So sensitive that this is usually where the first signs of aging appear. Dry skin, sagging skin, dark circles, bags, fine lines then crow's feet... The eye contour, tired by the repeated movements of the orbicularis muscle, is generally the first area affected by skin aging.

As you can see, the eye area is a particularly vulnerable area that must be treated with the greatest care. It is therefore important to use products adapted to its fragility.

To do this, we first avoid applying our day or night cream to the eye contour, the composition of which is unsuitable for this specific area. On the contrary, we opt for a product designed specifically for the eye area, nourishing enough to compensate for its great need for hydration . Also turn to a treatment with targeted action: opt for a nourishing cream or gel which will also fight against puffiness, dark circles and the appearance of wrinkles. Finally, we favor products without perfume ), which are gentler for this fragile area.

In short :

It is generally recommended to start applying specific eye contour care around the age of 25. It is in fact at this age that cell renewal begins to slow down, favoring the drying out of this area, then its skin aging. Used for prevention, a well-chosen eye contour will help you keep your pretty doe eyes for many years to come.
