Caring For Skin Around The Eye
The Area Around The Eye Requires Different Care
The sensitive skin around the eye itself is much different than the rest of the face.
So what's the secret to caring for under the eye?
There’s plenty of myths and treatments out there… and just as many ways to mask or hide them… but let’s shed some light on things.
Even though it’s often linked to stress, burnout and lack of sleep, Dermatologists say those aren't always a factor.
Some other common factors are:
- Aging - As part of the aging process, we naturally lose some of the fat around the eye which contributes to the area becoming sunken and darker.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation - Put simply, this is darkness left behind after inflammation. It’s made worse when you rub your eyes after they’re itchy from allergies or eczema.
- Lifestyle - Lots of sun exposure can breakdown collagen and elastin which leads to an increase in damaged blood vessels. The same is true of stress, sleep, alcohol, smoking or too much caffeine.
- Genetics - Your genetic background impacts how your skin type and tone shows age, and while anyone can develop dark circles, some ethnic backgrounds with olive-toned or darker skin tend to experience it more.
Sure, there are plenty of makeup tips and cosmetic treatments that can hide dark circles around the eye, but why not treat the source with great skincare?
