The skin around your eyes is 10 times thinner than the skin on other parts of your face which is why the skin around your eyes is more prone to premature aging, pigmentations such as dark circles, wrinkles, skin thinning, and skin damage. You need to take extra care of the skin around your eyes which may not be fulfilled by the creams and products in your basic skincare routine. 

 

To recuperate the skin sensitiveness and fragileness, adding an eye cream to your skincare routine would be the best solution. Eye creams are developed considering the delicacy of the skin around the eyes and contain ingredients that moisturize the thinner skin. Some of the major benefits of an eye cream are:

Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles

As you get older, the skin around your eyes gets slow in the process of producing oil and collagen which results in sagginess of skin around the eyes and premature aging. Fine lines and wrinkles appear around your eyes making you look older than your age. Applying an eye cream that suits your skin can provide the necessary oil and moisture to the skin and slow the process of aging. Regular application of eye cream minimizes the fine lines and its risk. 

Protection from the sun

As said earlier, the skin around the eyes is quite thinner and are prone to skin damage more than skin in other parts of your body. The regular sunscreen which you apply on your face may not be sufficient enough to protect your skin under the eyes. Applying an eye cream with SPF 15 or above can protect your eyes from the aging UVA rays and damaging UVB rays. Moreover, it helps to prevent unnecessary pigmentation of the skin under the eyes such as dark circles.

Provides moisture

Every skin requires moisture or else they become all dry and flaky with rough patches in different areas. The skin around your eyes does not have many pores as other parts and cannot produce sufficient oil and moisture to keep your skin fresh and healthy. So, an eye cream with required moisture can help you're under-eye skin stay fresh and healthy making you look younger and active. 

As they say 'Prevention is better than cure', start young to prevent further damage to your eye skin. It's always best to prevent than to treat. Protect the skin under your eyes and take good care of them. Moisturize your under-eye skin often and take herbal treatments often. Don't use harsh chemical creams on your skin (on any part not just under the eyes). Apply moisturizing eye creams with higher SPF before bed and before going out. Wear huge sunglasses to prevent your skin from UVA and UVB rays as the sun can be the enemy of healthy skin.

Among several skin problems, premature aging is one faced by several women. Many factors are causing premature aging- may be hereditary or intrinsic factors or external factors such as your environment and lifestyle. We cannot influence the intrinsic factors ti to slow the process of aging but the external factors can be influenced. 

Protect from sun

Sun is a significant enemy for your skin as one of the major external factors that cause premature aging. So, you must protect yourself from the sun either by covering up or staying in shade. Do not let your bare skin get exposed to the sun as far as possible. While going out, you can wear full-sleeve clothes, sunscreen with broad-spectrum i.e  SPF 30 (or more), wear shades, carry an umbrella, or you may also wear clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) label. 

Don't smoke or drink

Smoking escalates the rate we age making our skin dull and sallow. Alcohol, on the other hand, dehydrates our skin and slowly damages our skin. As a result, we look older at a younger age. So, avoid smoking or drinking as it is bad for your skin as well as your health. 

Have a balanced diet

An unhealthy diet always affects you negatively. You should try to avoid sugar and excessive carbohydrates in your diet to have glowing young skin. Moreover, adding juicy fruits and green veggies to your diet can help your skin to a great extent. 

Avoid same facial expressions

As you make a facial expression, your facial muscles contract. Contracting the same muscles for a longer period of time can cause fine lines and wrinkles in your skin making you look older for your age. So, try to avoid some kind of facial expressions. Also, you can wear shades while traveling on a sunny day to avoid squinting. 

Wash your face often

Wash your face at least twice a day. Like any form of dirt from, your face is washed off, you get a younger looking glowing skin. 

Apply moisturizer

Hydrating your skin is really essential for you to avoid premature aging. As moisturizer traps the water inside the skin, you look younger and beautiful 

Do not use skin products that burn

The kind of skincare products you use can make a huge impact on aging. You must know the kind of skin products that suits your skin. Avoid the use of skin products that burns and irritates your skin. Skin irritation makes you look older.
