The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face—making it especially vulnerable to dryness, irritation, and signs of aging. That’s why it deserves a little extra care:
Use the Right Products: Choose eye creams or serums that are fragrance-free and formulated for sensitive skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration and peptides to support skin elasticity.
Be Gentle: Avoid rubbing or tugging at the skin around your eyes. Use your ring finger to gently pat products into the skin—it applies the least pressure.
Protect Your Eyes Daily: Sun exposure is a major contributor to premature aging. Wear sunglasses with UltraViolet (UV) protection and consider a broad-spectrum SPF eye cream to shield this delicate area.
Check for Irritation: Sometimes, redness or puffiness isn’t just cosmetic. If over-the-counter products cause discomfort or if you notice persistent swelling or dark circles, consult an eye care specialist.
