5 ways to improve the skin around your eyes

True or False: the eye area skin is the thinnest skin in the body.

TRUE and because of that, it’s the first area to show signs of aging! ⁠

You may be saying "uh oh," but don't worry I got you. Read below for five tips on how to keep the skin around your eye area looking its finest!⁠

1. Plump up the eyes

Hydrated eyelids help the eyes look and feel younger. Get plumper looking eye area skin with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which attracts and traps moisture.

2. Soothe irritated eyelids

The eyelid skin is the most vulnerable to irritations since it's the thinnest skin. It's important to soothe the eyelids at the very first sign of irritations.

3. Protect the eye area from UV rays

Since UV rays cause breakdown of collagen and elastin it's important to protect the delicate lids. Wearing sunglasses and sunscreen around the eyes is a must!

4. Cleanse the eyelids with an eye-specific cleanser

Allergens and pollutants easily build on the eyelid skin. If you don't cleanse the eye area these irritants can cause inflammation, breaking down collagen and elastin.

Facial cleansers tend to be too harsh for the eye area.

5. Use products with ingredients that build collagen and elastin

The eyelids have very little collagen and elastin, which is why it's the first area in the body to show signs of aging.

Vitamin A is a great ingredient that builds collagen and elastin.
