What is the eye contour area? The ultimate guide to reducing wrinkles and crow’s feet
Let's start at the beginning: what is the eye contour? It’s the delicate, thin skin around our eyes. And why's it so important to take care of it and treat it with specific products? The skin around the eyes, four times thinner than the rest of the face, is vulnerable to everyday stresses such as makeup removal, lack of sleep, pollution and UV exposure, which cause it to become weak and fragile.
Why do wrinkles appear in this area?
Over time, this area becomes more fragile, thinner and prone to dark circles as a result of poor blood circulation and bags due to poor lymphatic drainage. Also, if we do not treat the first dehydration lines around the eyes, this area of the face will be the first to show visible signs of aging because we communicate and express ourselves most with this part of the face. The eyelids open and close more than 20 times per minute and have fewer sebaceous glands than the rest of the face. Keeping this area hydrated helps prevent and reverse premature aging and the appearance of crow’s feet.
In this article, we help you find the best anti-aging eye contour products and how to apply it both to prevent and treat the first signs of aging.
Steps to take care of the eye contour
We have already clarified what the eye contour is and the special characteristics this area has to differentiate it and make it so special compared to the skin of the rest of the face.
The first step seems obvious, when it comes to caring for this delicate area, it deserves special attention and respectful and efficient cleansing.
Biotherm presents BIOCILS WATERPROOF a gentle biphasic fluid formula that quickly dissolves waterproof makeup while leaving the eye contour free of an oily layer. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Hydration is key in preventing expression lines, AQUASOURCE TOTAL EYE REVITALIZER offers a refreshing and illuminating gel option for those looking to focus on improving the appearance of dry undereyes and dark circles.
Apply anti-aging eye products as needed or for specific concerns, such as crow’s feet, wrinkles, puffiness or dark circles.
What is the eye contour? What to avoid to prevent wrinkles in this area
While we already know what the eye contour is and why it’s so delicate, here are some more recommendations for this area: before applying a moisturizing eye contour or the best anti-aging eye contour, cleanse this area with BIOCILS WATERPROOF by removing makeup gently and effectively, preventing the tiny particles of pollution from attaching to our skin.
Preventing dehydration lines in this area is key to preventing the appearance of fine lines that later become wrinkles.
Avoid applying too much product that could end up irritating the inside of the eye and try not to handle this delicate area vigorously or apply too much pressure.
We already know what the eye contour is and what makes this area of the face so special. The best way to prevent wrinkles in this area is to avoid the appearance of fine lines that turn into wrinkles.
What are eye contours? Serum or cream?
The eye contour should be treated differently from the rest of the face; just as we do with specific products for hands, body or hair, we must also understand that not all products can be used to treat all areas of our skin in the same way.
The main difference between an eye serum and eye cream is the texture. Serums have high concentrations of active ingredients in a lightweight and fluid texture – they can be used alone or applied before creams. Anti-aging eye skincare formulas can have nourishing gel or cream textures, depending on the hydration needs of the eye contour area.
Choosing the right anti-aging eye contour formula will ensure longer-lasting results and greater prevention against the visible signs of aging.
