Eye Care Beauty Tips for Your Tired Eyes

THEeye area is the most delicate area of your face and proper eye care is definitely a must for women regardless of the age.Areas around your eyes are the part in which the skin is the thinnest, making them more prone to damage and will start showing signs of aging much sooner compared to the skin of the rest of your face.

The skin around the eye area is more sensitive and has fewer oil and water which makes it very prone to dryness, fine lines, crow’s feet or wrinkles and aging. Thus, it is very important to start focusing on under eye care, from eye care products, application techniques to eye care tips to tackle your tired eyes and reduce signs of aging.

Generally, dermatologist recommends women to start incorporating eye care products into their daily skincare routine in early 20s. It would be late if you were to start by 30s especially if you have dry skin as when the fine lines get dry, they look deeper and worse which gradually turning into crow feet and wrinkles. Eye care beauty products keep the skin at eye areas moist so fine lines don’t show up as much. A good and gentle eye care product also helps to brighten the under eye area and plump up your eyes’ hollowness.

Let’s be honest that we are all dreaded when it comes to removing makeup at the end of the day. Most of us are using a general face cleansing oil or more commonly known as ‘all-in-one’ makeup removal to remove all the makeup on our face to quickly get all makeup off. Bear in mind that eyes areas are extremely delicate and eye makeup like waterproof mascara is more stubborn to remove. Remember, leftover mascara residues can lead you to eye infections, skin discoloration and puffy eyes the next morning. For eyes, it’s very important to take all of your eye makeup off with a separate formula of remover targeted for eye area. Hence, it is essential to remove your eye makeup with eye makeup remover and not just a face makeup remover!

And don’t just swipe or drag your cotton pads with eye makeup removers on the skin around your eyes. Instead, place the cotton pad wet with remover over your lids, hold it for a minute to dissolve the product, then wipe away. Do not ever rub the delicate under eye area. Once the eye makeup like mascara and eyeliner comes off, face makeup remover can be used in the next step. We highly recommend oil and gel formula for eye makeup remover as they are particularly good for removing long-wearing eye makeup. If you are in a hurry, cleansing wipes with eye makeup remover formula are recommended too.

2: Use Eye Care Products on Daily Basis

So why do beauty experts promote eye care product usage? This is because most of the time your daily moisturizer is not suitable for the eye area. This is why there is eye care products designed specifically for the eyes. Eye care beauty products can be in the form of eye cream, eye serum or eye gel. Eye care products usually contain emollients, or moisturizers, that can help hydrate the drier eye skin and improve it to look smoother. Eye care products are formulated with more emollients which help to lessen the appearance of wrinkles. They tend to be thicker than face moisturizer and the thicker consistency will stay on the thin and mobile skin around the eyes better.

In your early 20s, it is recommended to use eye care products for hydration and brightening the eye areas to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles. At your early 30s, you can start incorporating anti-aging eye care products that contains formula to boost collagen production to combat with fine lines and wrinkles for more lifted eyes. Be sure to apply the eye cream or gel before you put on your face moisturizer so that your skin absorbs the active ingredients. Apply the eye cream onto a cotton swab or an eye makeup applicator. We also highly recommend using your ring finger instead, as it is the smoothest and least-used finger. It exerts the least amount of force on the delicate skin around the eye area and the body temperature of your finger is able to warm up the cream for better absorption.

3: Pamper Your Eyes with Eye Treatment Mask

Do you pamper your face with facial mask once a week? Do the same for your both eyes too! Pamper your eyes with eye treatment mask once to twice a week as your tired eyes deserves much more than any other areas of your face. Eye treatment mask can works amazingly to brighten your eyes and is a definitely must-have SOS for tired eyes. Apply eye treatment mask pads for at least 15 minutes and massage away any excess to your eye areas. And voila, your eyes look smoother and refreshed every time you pamper them with eye treatment mask. For more budget conscious, try home remedies such as cucumber eye mask. Who say beauty needs to be wallet challenging?

4: Massage Your Eyes Areas

Many eye care product in the market comes in a cooling metal rollerball which helps to massage away the formula in the eye areas while delivery its microcirculation boosting ingredients. Take advantages of the applicator to massage your eyes areas to promote blood circulation which helps to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles. These eye rollers rolled on easily onto eyes areas and your eyes feel fresh and awake. For further eye beauty woe, we suggest using an eye massager device that offers soothing vibration massage to your eyes. Besides, these eye massager devices also help in relieving daily eye fatigue and tension, stress, insomnia and headaches.

5: Wear Sunglasses

The sun is the number one cause of wrinkles with many of researches and studies acknowledged the impact of harmful sun rays. In one study that looked at identical twins, New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, MD, found sun exposure was even more important than heredity. Siblings who limited sun time had fewer wrinkles and looked younger overall than their sun-worshiping twins. Thus, always apply SPF and wear sunglasses when you are exposed to the sun. The right kind of sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
