Natural skincare solutions to care for the eye area
How to choose the right natural skincare product for the eye area
The skin around the eyes is particularly fine and sensitive, which is why the eye area is the first to show the signs of aging.
Over time, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles appear, and these can make the face look sad and tired. Because the skin here is more fragile, it needs to be given extra-special attention. So it’s essential that you use a skincare product that’s designed specifically for the eye area, to protect against environmental aggressors and fight the effects of aging.
Follow our tips and advice to find the skincare product that will best meet the needs of your eye area.
Why should you use an eye cream?
As we already mentioned, the skin around the eyes is very fine, which makes this area particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors. The cold, UV rays, fatigue and pollution are all factors that can lead to wrinkles, puffiness or dark circles.
An eye care product is a must-have in your beauty routine. It should be formulated specifically for the eye area, but should also suit your skin type. Before applying an eye cream, make sure the eye area is perfectly clean. We often apply makeup around the eyes – probably more than any other part of the face!
But this can lead to a buildup of makeup residue and impurities, which is why it’s so important to remove makeup gently and thoroughly.
What else can you do to look after the eye area?
Crow’s-feet wrinkles or dark circles are often the trigger to make us start taking better care of eye-area skin. But while eye creams may help to diminish fine lines and puffiness, they can’t get rid of them completely. There are many factors that cause the skin here to age. If you want to protect this delicate part of the face, start with good lifestyle habits. Fatigue, smoking and a poor diet, for example, can weaken your skin. Even before the first wrinkles appear, start using a natural eye care product that will work with your skin type.
While skincare certainly plays an important role in caring for the eye area, massage can also help keep the skin supple and elastic. Our Le Roll-On Drainant lymphatic drainage roller and Le Gua Sha are both accessories that you can use to visibly and rapidly enhance the action of your skincare products.
How to choose the right eye cream
Because the skin around the eyes is so fine, you should always use techniques and products that are specially designed to care for the eye area.
La Crème Réparatrice Regard contains Hyaluronic Acid and Roman Chamomile, which work to soothe the skin, smooth expression lines, and reduce fine lines. Le Soin Regard, meanwhile, contains Argan oil and Caffeine to help brighten the eyes and diminish puffiness and dark circles. Good hydration will also help to improve the texture of your skin and prevent the first signs of aging. All you have to do is find the eye care product that best meets your needs.
During the day, if you want to brighten the under-eye area and reduce the appearance of dark circles, look no further than a good concealer such as our Le Multicorrecteur. Created in collaboration with celebrity makeup artist Christophe Danchaud, Le Multicorrecteur cares and conceals at the same time. This formula contains soothing Cornflower Hydrosol, as well as Jojoba oil, which protects and regenerates.
In the evening, after removing all makeup and applying your eye cream, take a few minutes for a lymphatic drainage face massage. This will decongest tissues and help to prevent the first signs of aging. At Absolution, we even have the perfect tool for this: Le Roll-On Drainant! We recommend keeping it in the fridge between uses to make it even more effective!
