How to treat eye contour concerns: wrinkles, eye bags, and dark circles
The eye contour is one of the most delicate areas of the face. The skin around the eyes is up to 5 times thinner than the rest of the face and contains fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dehydration, fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles.
Causes:
Wrinkles: Caused by natural aging, repetitive facial movements, sun exposure, and loss of collagen and elastin.
Eye bags (puffiness): Often due to fluid retention, poor circulation, fatigue, genetics, or lifestyle factors (like salt or alcohol consumption).
Dark circles: Can result from lack of sleep, poor blood circulation, hyperpigmentation, or thinning of the skin that makes blood vessels more visible.
How to treat it:
Use targeted eye contour products with light textures and powerful actives.
Ingredients to look for:
Peptides – to firm and smooth fine lines
Caffeine – to reduce puffiness and improve circulation
Hesperidin methyl chalcone – to reduce dark circles
Hyaluronic acid & panthenol – to deeply hydrate and soothe
PHA (low concentration) – to boost collagen and reduce wrinkles
Apply gently using your ring finger with light tapping movements.
Avoid rich, heavy creams that can cause puffiness.
Use sunscreen daily to prevent further pigmentation and aging.
