The wrinkles under the eyes show true age. They give us years, appear earlier than other signs of aging.
The skin under the eyes is very delicate, poorly built up with collagen and elastin fibers, almost devoid of sebaceous glands, therefore it ages quickly. For many years, when in cosmetic stores there were no special preparations for the care of this part of the face, Polish women used creams. Some still do. Meanwhile, the active substances and fat contained in face creams get to the conjunctiva, irritate the eyes and cause redness and swelling. Today, the choice of cosmetics is huge, and the decision depends mainly on the size of the wallet.
Only special preparations should be used under the eyes, containing mild, non-irritating relationships, with a lighter consistency than face creams. It does happen though, that the upper eyelid does not tolerate such preparations. Beauticians' opinions on this subject are divided. Some strongly advise against lubricating the upper eyelids (they are thin, the cream penetrates easily into the eyelids and irritates them), other lubrication is recommended.
The anti-wrinkle agents in eye creams moisturize and nourish the skin. Some contain filters to protect against the harmful effects of sunlight. The sooner we start using the creams, the better. You can start in your twenties, and in their thirties – necessarily!
For tired and irritated eyes, there is nothing better and cheaper than Firefly Gel (under the eyes and on the eyelids). Firefly removes the fatigue and pain and tearing caused by fever or hay fever.
We can prepare compresses for tired eyes: two sachets of chamomile or rosehip for three minutes. Cool, apply the compresses soaked in the infusion to the eyes. Rest through 15 minutes with legs held high. Black tea bags can also be used.
Special creams soothe bags and dark circles under the eyes. There are also others with a universal effect: anti-wrinkle, against bruises, swelling and sacs. It is worth supporting the skin under the eyes with special nourishing masks from time to time. And above all, to lubricate, spread, spread, even several times a day. After returning home, wash off make-up and apply cream or gel. If it gets absorbed, repeat the action until it is successful – until the skin is moisturized.
