Don't panic!

The main care is protection. The skin around the eyes is low in collagen and elastin and produces little natural fat. In addition, it is in a mobile state all day, which means that it loses its firmness and elasticity faster. Hence the first wrinkles, crow's feet and sagging eyelids. So, definitely, we need some moisturizing and care products!
Is a regular face cream suitable for the skin around the eyes? This is not entirely correct. As we wrote above, the skin here is thinner and more fragile, a cream is needed here with a different texture and with a different formula - for more active hydration and maintaining elasticity.
At what age should I start caring? From youth! We start with proper cleansing and continue with nutritional support.

We select the cream around the eyes by age:

Up to 25 years old the skin will be content with gentle cleansing and moisturizing in the form of milk, almond / peach oil or two-phase products.
After 25 we add moisturizing creams with vitamins A and E to our daily care.
After 30 we are gradually switching to creams and serums with hyaluronic acid, as well as angeoprotective agents for vascular care. At this age, swelling and circles under the eyes are more manifested.
After 40-45 years products with elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid are recommended. The skin needs active nourishment, you cannot do without masks and serums.

It is not for nothing that the eyes are called the mirror of the soul - they can convey the true mood and feelings experienced. By the condition of the skin of the eyelids, you can also determine a lot: a woman's age, lifestyle, well-being.

Creams for the skin of the eyelids differ in composition and method of application from other face products, and an incorrectly selected cream immediately manifests itself in the appearance of crow's feet, redness and swelling.

The face cannot be hidden under clothing, it is more exposed to external factors. The skin of the eyelids is especially vulnerable - it is much thinner than on the face, there are no sebaceous glands that protect against drying out, cold wind, and there is no supporting muscle frame.

That is why the skin around the eyes begins to fade earlier, in this area the following signs are formed:

wrinkles;
dark circles;
bags;
increased dryness.

There are several reasons for such unpleasant changes:

age;
genetic characteristics;
the use of low-quality decorative cosmetics;
mistakes in daily care;
diseases.

It is impossible to stop time, you can try to reduce or neutralize the impact of negative factors with the help of correctly selected means.

The composition and types of eye creams

Many women mistakenly believe that regular face cream can be used to care for the skin of the eyelids, which they do. Cosmetologists have proven that due to the nature of this area, a separate product is needed.

An eye cream, unlike a face cream, should be light and not difficult to apply; dense formulations are difficult to distribute evenly, so you have to apply more effort, and this can lead to stretching of the skin.

Products with high fat content are absorbed slowly and can cause swelling.

The following components should be present in the composition of the eye cream:

vitamins;
purified or thermal water;
hyaluronic acid;
plant extracts;
light essential and cosmetic oils;
beekeeping products;
extracts of algae and other seafood (pearls, caviar);
collagen;
auxiliary synthetic substances, the formulas of which are developed in laboratories.

According to the main action of the eye cream, there are several types:

Nutritious

The product can be used from 20 years old only to maintain the skin in normal condition during the cold season. It usually contains retinol, cosmetic oils, herbal extracts.

Moisturizing

This cream can be used from 20 years old in the warm season. The product normalizes the water balance and maintains the required level of moisture in the cells, prevents the appearance of dryness and early wrinkles, they usually contain hyaluronic acid, vitamin E.

Bleaching

Can be used at any age with the appearance of freckles or age spots under the eyes. The active ingredients brighten the upper layer of the epidermis and reduce the production of melanin in cells.

Anti-aging (anti-aging)

Depending on the concentration of active substances, the funds are divided into age groups. Anti-aging creams accelerate cell regeneration, due to which the skin is deeply moisturized, wrinkles are smoothed out. The composition of the regenerating creams includes extracts of snails, algae, pearl and placenta extract.

For puffiness under the eyes

Recommended for use in case of a tendency to puffiness in the morning at any age. The tool redistributes fluid and has a lymphatic drainage lifting effect. This effect is achieved thanks to caffeine, vitamin K and other components.

Firming anti-wrinkle with lifting effect

They are used after 35-40 years, when ptosis (drooping eyelids) begins to appear. They contain vitamin E, algae extracts and essential oils that restore elasticity to the skin.

If a woman has very sensitive eyelid skin, any of the selected creams should be hypoallergenic.

Cream application rules

The effect of the cream depends not only on its composition, but also on how it is applied. The skin of the eyelids is thin, there is no supporting skeleton of muscles under it, so the cream must be applied in a special way:

the amount of the product should be small - a piece the size of a match head is enough;
the cream is warmed up on the pad of the finger and several points are applied along the line of the lower border and above the movable eyelid at the top;
distribute the cream by lightly patting the ring finger from the outer corner to the inner corner on the lower eyelid and then close the circle from above;
in no case should you rub the cream using force - this will lead to stretching, wrinkles and sagging of the eyelid;
after 15-25 minutes, it is recommended to blot the eyelids with a napkin or soft towel to remove excess and avoid puffiness.

The eye cream is applied in the morning and in the evening, using day or night means, respectively. They differ in the concentration of active substances and texture. Nighttime is denser and contains more active substances than daytime.

In the morning, the eye cream is used 15-30 minutes before applying makeup, in the evening 1.5-2 hours before bedtime (otherwise, there is a high probability of edema in the morning).

It is desirable that all face care products are from the same series, this greatly increases the effectiveness.

Following these simple guidelines can make even a simple, inexpensive cream very effective.

Features of selection and review of the best tools

Skin care products are in steady demand, on store shelves, in pharmacies and on the Internet, there is such a huge range of skin care products that the choice is difficult. They differ in design, composition, declared action and, of course, cost.

In order for the eye cream to have an effect, you need to adhere to some rules when buying:

When buying a product, pay attention to the age category indicated on the package. The intensively rejuvenating cream for women after 45 cannot be used at 30, it contains too many active substances and is addictive to external support for the skin.
Identify the underlying problem: wrinkles, swelling, signs of fatigue, or simply maintaining the skin.
Choose a product marked "hypoallergenic". This cream does not contain substances that can irritate the eyes.
Before applying to the eyelids, try the cream on a different area of the body, such as the wrist, to avoid unexpected reactions.
Buy eye cream only from pharmacies or specialty stores that have a good reputation and can provide product certifications.

All firms position their eyelid care products as the best. Many people think that a good cream is expensive, but this is not entirely true.

In fact, the effectiveness depends more on the individual characteristics of the skin. Valuable snail mucus, precious essential oils, seafood and even plant extracts cause allergic reactions in some women. As practice shows, choosing the right tool can only be done by trial and error.

Homemade eye cream

A good skin care product near the eyes is not necessarily expensive, you can prepare a cream at home, such products have a number of advantages over purchased ones:

affordable cost;
natural ingredients;
confidence in the quality of the product.

There are many recipes for such creams, here are the simplest and most effective ones:

Moisturizing.

The cream can be prepared from honey (5 ml) glycerin (5 ml), still mineral water (25 ml) and edible gelatin (8 grams). Soak animal collagen in mineral water, melt in a water bath, after cooling, add the rest of the ingredients (honey must be liquid).

Nutritious.

For a nutritious cream you will need: 10 ml of cosmetic oil (flax, olive, castor or rosemary), 5 grams of melted pork fat and 5 ml of linden and chamomile decoction. Combine all components in a water bath and mix well. The product is suitable for women with normal to dry skin, it is applied at night every other day. Store the product in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

With a lifting effect.

Composition for a cream with a lifting effect: rose petals (small handful), butter (3 tsp) and one chicken yolk. Chop the flower petals, combine with the yolk and melted butter and beat well.

Anti-wrinkle cream.

If wrinkles or crow's feet appear, you can use a peach oil product (about one tablespoon), enriched with geranium, verbena and rosemary ethers (1-2 drops each).

Emollient cream.

It is prepared from almond oil (one tablespoon), lanolin (2 teaspoons), lecithin (one teaspoon) and a tablespoon of mineral water. Lanolin is melted in a water bath and the remaining components are added to the mass (pre-mix lecithin with mineral water). Heat the mixture a little and beat with a plastic whisk.

Homemade eye creams are prepared in ceramic containers in a water bath, without boiling, so that the components do not lose activity. Store the product on a refrigerator shelf in a closed container, usually for 1 week (sometimes longer).

A product made from natural ingredients can cause allergic reactions, so it should be tested before using it for the first time.

Despite the fact that information on the rules for using eyelids can be found on the Internet, many women still have questions that only a beautician can explain:

When to start using?

Experts advise to actively use them from the age of 20. These should be lightweight, nourishing gels. As they grow older, the cream is replaced with another, picking it up taking into account the main one.

After 30 years, the skin begins to lose moisture, so moisturizers can be used. At the age of 35, wrinkles appear - at this age you can start using anti-aging agents. 40-45 years - the time when the skin sags, at this age they switch to actively moisturizing and nourishing creams with a lifting effect.

Why shouldn't the product be applied to the movable upper eyelid?

This can be explained by the following arguments: firstly, the cream can get on the mucous membrane and cause irritation or tearing, and secondly, the necessary part of the cream gets on the eyelid when you blink, there is no need to additionally stretch the delicate skin, moreover, excess cream may lead to puffiness, eyelids may droop.

Review of Yves Rocher Eye Cream "Clear Look"

Yves Rocher Eye Cream "Clear Look" is intended for women over 35 years old. I'm 32, but I decided to try it because the wrinkles are already visible and there are bruises under the eyes.

A pink, odorless cream in a fine-tipped package allows you to squeeze out a small portion. The product contains small reflective particles to mask dark circles.

It is easy to apply the cream from Yves Rocher, it is absorbed very quickly and visibly moisturizes the skin. I have been using it in the evening for a month and I can say that the result has already appeared:

the wrinkles have practically disappeared;

there are circles, but much less (you need to get enough sleep);

the skin has become a little more elastic.

I really like the cream from Yves Rocher "Clear Look" at the moment, it is an excellent product for the money.

Karina Osipova, 32 years old

The eye cream will help maintain youthfulness and improve skin condition. However, along with competent care, lifestyle and health are important. If you do not get enough sleep, have bad habits or some kind of disease, even a very expensive cream may be ineffective.

To prolong youthfulness, reduce wrinkles and give the skin a glow, it is not at all necessary to resort to cosmetic tightening or lifting procedures. The eye cream is able, in a short time, without any additional products, to improve turgor and normalize collagen synthesis in tissues. As a result, mimic folds are smoothed out, the color of the epidermis is leveled and its density improves.

How to Pick a Good Eye Cream

When choosing cosmetic products, you need to take into account many factors: skin type, tendency to allergic reactions, properties of active ingredients. Based on this information, product pricing, reviews and personal preferences, you can find the perfect anti-wrinkle product.

It is believed that the best eye cream must contain hyaluronic acid. It is a natural derivative of the body, hypoallergenic, has a deep moisturizing and tightening effect. But on the hyaluron, the list of useful active substances that are used in cosmetics does not end there.

Active ingredients that are included in most effective creams for wrinkles on the eyelids:

Naturally, these are not all possible components of eye creams, but most of these cosmetics are enriched with at least one of the listed ingredients.

Types of eye creams
