Adopting an eye contour routine expert helps to revive a look
A short night's sleep, excessive stress, a long time scrolling through the phone... And your eyes betray you. Ultra-sensitive, the eye contour area tends to be much more marked than the rest of the face. Changing your habits and adopting a routine expert on this area is necessary to revive your look.
The skin around the eyes is a fragile yet highly challenged ecosystem that needs extreme respect & support. Skin is much thinner than the rest of the body, counting around 3 to 5 layers instead of 7 to 10 for the rest of the face. It has no sebaceous glands, so the hydrolipidic film is reduced and the skin is more vulnerable to various aggressions such as pollution, impurities or make-up. Furthermore, this zone is under constant mechanical stress, undergoing 10,000 blinks each day. It is then more delicate that other parts of the skin.
Lifestyle-related factors including lack of sleep, hormonal change, stress, smoking and poor diet are responsible for visible signs of fatigue or ageing. Dark circles, puffiness, fine lines… Thinner skin under the eye undoubtedly contributes to the visual appearance of all these signs. And as the skin is thinner, the impact is all the greater: skin barrier is altered, skin is inflamed.
Dark circles, puffiness, fine lines... The thinness of the skin around the eyes is responsible for the particularly visible appearance of all the problems that can be encountered in the eye area.
You've probably noticed that you have dark circles under your eyes when you have slept badly or too little... Dark circles form halos of colour around the eyes and give a tired or sad appearance:
Puffiness may be transitory or permanent, depending on the age.
Good news is that even if you have marked puffy eyes when you wake up in the morning, it can be solved and fade throughout the day with a suitable caffeine eye cream.
The skin around the eyes is less elastic than the rest of the face, and with age the loss of elasticity is even more noticeable. And as skin becomes thinner and drier, fine lines under eyes are even more marked on this area. Expression lines are linked to repeated facial expressions such as smiling, laughing or frowning. These include the crow’s feet wrinkles. What is more, as the skin around the eyes is thinner, it is particularly prone to oxidative stress., accelerating the skin ageing process.
It may be logical, but the first thing to do to look less tired is to adopt a good sleep routine. A night of 7 to 8 hours is necessary to allow the body and skin to regenerate.
The skin around the eyes is particularly dry, so drinking at least 1.5 litres of water a day is recommended to keep the area well hydrated.
It is essential to take care of this fragile area by using expert products that respect sensitive eye contour, from the hygiene stage right through to skincare.
The first essential step is cleansing. Pollution particles tend to lodge in the eye creases and the skin around the eyes needs to be systematically cleansed every evening. But when removing make-up from the eyes, it is necessary to be gentle, and to use products specifically adapted to this fragile area, so as to stop the vicious circle responsible for inflammation, to avoid irritation and reactions.
The second step is to apply a high-tolerance skin care product, specially designed for the eye contour area. An eye cream must be used morning and night. Do not hesitate to put your cream in the fridge if you have puffiness, as the cold optimises the decongesting effect, and to practice a gentle gesture to boost the efficacy of the product.
NAOS’s research developed a highly efficient expert duo that leaves a positive footprint on sensitive skin ecosystem.
When it comes to make-up removal, we all want to combine speed, efficacy and, above all, gentleness.
This is the reason why Bioderma designed Sensibio H2O eye, the 1st* patented biphasic micellar hygiene that goes beyond simple cleansing. Its exclusive formula combines 70% micellar water and 30% lipophilic solution, both effective and gentle for the fragile eyelids area. In a few swipes it removes pollution and waterproof make-up. Enriched with dermatological active ingredients such as provitamin B5 and natural sugars, it soothes, moisturises and repairs the skin barrier of the sensitive eyes. Skin is reinforced, eyelashes are protected and strengthened. After 28 days, they become denser and more voluminous.
