Despite it being an essential part of any successful skincare regime, eye cream is so often neglected. I, too, used to be one of those people that thought my regular moisturizer would be sufficient. I thought eye creams are “extra” and too expensive. But the truth is, the skin around our eyes is far more delicate than the rest of our face and is much more prone to damage thanks to lack of sleep, dehydration and sun exposure.
You’ve probably read labels on facial moisturizers that advise users to avoid the eye area when applying. This is because they can contain chemicals that may be damaging to the eye area and many are made up of fragrances and preservatives which can irritate the eyes. Eye creams, therefore, are a much safer option seeing as they’re specially formulated to use on the eye area.
Bur, when it comes to finding the right eye cream, the one-fits-all adage definitely does not work. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, banish dark circles, or reduce puffiness, there is a solution for you and you don’t have to spend a fortune. In fact, you can find a great selection of eye creams for under $40 on Amazon. I recenly discovered the TirTir Collagen Lifting Eye Cream. This luxurious eye cream has a rolling ball applicator and is charged with plant collagen that provides vital nutrients, resilience, and elasticity to the eye area. Bonus: the rolling ball applicator is great to around your lips too.
