How to Find the Best Eye Cream that Works

It seems like there is always something new that we need to add to our daily and weekly skincare regimes. Primers, setting sprays, serums and toners, are all recent additions to our cosmetic arsenal, but eye cream has always been a vital component. After all, the fine lines and crow’s feet around our eyes are often the first visible signs of aging.

 

There are thousands of eye creams on the market, but some people still question if they are necessary. Can’t you just smear your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes – won’t that have the same effect?

 

This couldn’t be further from the truth. The moisturizers and creams that we use on the rest of our facial skin is simply too rich and heavy for the delicate, crepe-like skin around our eyes. Different eye creams are designed to address different needs – but which one is best for your skin?

 

We have compiled a list of factors that you should consider when you are selecting an eye cream for your skin. No matter which one you choose, make sure that you always protect the skin around your eye area with an SPF. The sun’s harmful rays will do much more damage than anything else when it comes to prematurely aging your skin.

 

Here are the most important things you need to think about when choosing an eye cream for your specific concerns.

 

Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

One of the commonly cited skincare concerns amongst women is dark circles under their eyes. Not only can dark circles make you look tired and stressed, they can be a sign of a poor diet. But for some women, no matter how well-balanced their diet and how many vitamins they consume, their dark circles will not relent.

In these cases, look for an eye cream that contains caffeine. Yes, the same ingredient that perks you up in the morning can brighten the dark circles under your eyes! When you apply caffeine topically to your skin it encourages blood flow to the area and banishes the dark and shadowy patches beneath your eyes.

Fine Lines and Crow’s Feet

Fine lines around the eyes, also known as crow’s feet, are one of the most common signs of aging. These wrinkles are caused by squinting, sun damage, smoking, and even just making common facial expressions. Even though many women experience these fine lines, that doesn’t mean that you are excited to see them pop up on your own face!

If you want to banish crow’s feet, you need to use an eye cream that contains retinol (a form of vitamin A that promotes skin renewal), hyaluronic acid, glycerine, and vitamin E. These ingredients will help smooth the lines, plump your skin, and prevent moisture loss.

Puffy, Swollen Eyes

A lack of sleep, stress, and physical exhaustion in general can all lead to swollen, puffy eyes. If you want to reduce puffiness and swelling around your eyes, look for an eye cream that includes retinol and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients will reduce the contours around your eye area, firm your skin, and make your eyes look more awake and open.

Dry Skin Around Your Eyes

Dry, itchy skin can plague anyone, and it can wreak havoc on your face. Whether it is caused by the arid effects of the winter weather, indoor heating systems, food sensitivities, or other allergies, a lack of hydration can damage the sensitive skin around your eyes. If you suffer from dry skin around your eyes, look for an eye cream that includes nourishing oils and butters.

The Prevention of Aging – Before it Starts

You might not yet be experiencing the visible signs of aging around your eyes, but it is never too early to start preventing them. If you are not yet in need of a reparative cream but you want to prevent them for as long as possible, look for an eye cream that targets the early signs of aging. It should include antioxidants, peptides, plant extracts, vitamins E and C, and hyaluronic acid.

Wrap Up

 Whether you are looking to prevent the signs of aging, get rid of dark circles, or smooth out wrinkles and crow’s feet, there are thousands of eye creams on the market. Follow the guidance above the choose the best options for your specific needs.
