The most sensitive and sensitive area of the skin is the area around the eyes. In addition, the very first wrinkles appear in this zone, since muscles and subcutaneous fatty tissues are practically absent in the region of the eyelids. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper care of the skin around the eyes, starting at the age of 25, even if the visible problems have not yet been revealed.
Basic care of the eye area
As for skin of the face and body, in this case, cosmetologists recommend paying attention to 3 main points:
- purification;
- moisturizing;
- food.
For starters, you need to buy a high-quality makeup remover, designed specifically for the skin around the eyes. It is better if it is as natural as possible and does not contain fat, for example, micellar water. Do not stretch, rub out and squeeze the thin skin intensively, it is important to carefully remove the dirt and debris of cosmetics through a cotton pad and soft earwax.
Here's how to moisturize the skin around the eyes:
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Avoid excessively salty foods.
- Get enough sleep.
- Use moisturizers according to the age category, preferably on the basis of organic constituents (aloe extract, rose water ). It is worth giving up cosmetics with Vaseline, glycerin and lanolin, talc.
- Do homemade or professional masks 1-3 times a week.
Nutrition is another important component of beauty, health and youthful skin. Up to 30 years it is enough to carry out procedures that intensively saturate cells with nutrients. After this age, you need to give the eyelids much more attention, choose eye care products with unsaturated fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E. Such cosmetics should produce a lifting effect, accelerate the regeneration of tissues, remove puffiness and saturate the cells with nutrients .
It is important to note that the excessive application of various creams or masks is just as unhelpful as a complete lack of care. Surplus products must necessarily be removed with a cotton disc or cellulose napkin, allowing the skin to self-saturate with oxygen.
