When to start using eye contour? What is the eye contour for?

Do I need an eye contour? When should I start using one? It is too early? How do I reduce these small wrinkles? There are many questions that revolve around the question of what is the best time to incorporate an eye contour into your facial routine . Today we help you with this post.

When to start using eye contour? Expectations vs reality

The skin surrounding the eye area (eye area) is extremely fine and thin skin and does not contain sebaceous (oil) glands. This basically means that it is an area that is much more prone to dehydration and wrinkles .

Therefore, there is no specific age to incorporate an eye contour into your routine; Keep in mind that this area will ALWAYS become dehydrated more frequently and will always need extra care in terms of hydration and nutrition.

The correct question would be: what should my eye contour be like?

The first key is to choose one free of irritating ingredients like alcohol and artificial fragrances.

• If you need water, choose a gel type with a lot of water and if the area is very tight and/or very dry, choose an oily, balm type, so that it is much more nutritious. Then look at the active ingredients and order one that fits the needs of your skin. That is, if you don't have expression lines and if you have dark circles or bags, choose a decongestant or illuminating one and not a very nutritious one for dry areas.

• If you want to reduce bags, the best option will always be one, for example, that is based on aloe vera. This plant has magnificent properties to reduce bags and fluid retention. The secret? Know what that area needs and believe us, it is not that easy; Many times the problem when choosing a treatment is that we do not know what our skin is like and what it really needs. So listen to your skin and ask yourself questions; No one better than you can understand what she tells you and asks for.

• If you have a very delicate eye area and you easily experience itching, redness and almost everything you have tried makes you uncomfortable, first ask for a sample. You may not get it right the first time, so it doesn't hurt to try and ask us for samples and if you have an identified ingredient that doesn't suit your skin, always tell the person who is helping you choose an eye contour.

How should I use my eye cream?

Ideally, your eye contour should be rich in nourishing and anti-inflammatory ingredients and contain some essential fatty acids to prevent premature aging. Always select an eye contour that helps you hydrate that area and is truly natural.

If you have extremely sensitive skin, these are our two recommendations:

1. Very, very dry eye contour:an oily and dense one, slowly absorbed and very nutritious like the Matarrania eye contour .
2. Dehydrated eye area with fine expression lines: choose one that is very moisturizing, soothing and anti-inflammatory. It will also help you reduce bags. Pai Skincare's eye contour is ideal for this case, it helps calm, hydrate and soften expression lines. They contain stearidonic and gamma linoleic acids. This eye contour, in addition to being light, is nutritious and absorbs quickly and you can use it morning and night and it does not leave the area greasy.
3. Dehydrated eye area with a little bags: Firming Eye Gel from John Masters Organics .
4. Dull, dehydrated, malnourished and very tired eye contour: Ila Spa Intensive Eye Contour Serum (to be applied only at night) .
5. Dehydrated eye contour and dark circles: Antipodes silk and manuka honey illuminating eye contour .
6. Dull, dehydrated, dark circles, bags and wrinkles around the eyes: Eye Cream from Dafna's Skincare.
7. Dull, blemished, dehydrated and wrinkled eye contour: Regenerating eye contour, Dr.Hauschka .

How do you apply an eye contour?

To enhance its results, the ideal is that you always apply it in the morning and at night and then continue with your day/night routine.

You should apply a very small amount, one grain of rice is enough for both eyes and it is applied from the top of the cheekbones and with small touches with the tip of the ring finger. As an additional treatment you can gently massage (without stretching) the eye contour cream onto the orbital bone (bony area that surrounds the eye).

If you have an outbreak of dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis, let the eye contour act on that area ; That is, apply a more generous amount of cream there and leave it until it is absorbed. Of course, in this case the eye contour recommendations are greatly reduced and make sure you choose one for extremely delicate skin.

Our recommendation here is clear: Pai Skincare eye contour.

theCosmethics tips to care for the eye contour area

• Use sun protection , that area is more delicate than the rest of the face and therefore burns and ages more easily.

• In summer wear sunglasses . If you do sports outdoors, it protects that area more.

• If you put on eye makeup, use an ultra-gentle makeup remover cleanser for that area that removes everything without rubbing too much; The more you touch that area and the more you stretch it, the more likely you are to get wrinkles.

• Don't rub your eyes or touch that area constantly.

And last but not least, remember to smile. Expression lines caused by happiness are a good sign of health.
