Let’s Talk Eye Cream!
Have you ever wondered is an eye cream worth it?
It is another product to invest in and another product to remember to apply! When you already apply serums and moisturizers to the face, it can feel redundant at times to add another product. However, the skin under the eyes is thin and delicate and needs an extra bit of love!
This past year has allowed some extra time at home and some extra time to use all my products and see them work all their magic with those makeup free days. I have noticed a significant difference after adding an eye cream in day and night & I felt the need to share with you!!!
First, why are eye creams important?
As mentioned early, the skin around the eyes is (10 times) thinner and therefore needs to be cared for a little bit different. The thin nature of the under eye makes it more delicate, vulnerable, quicker to age, and prone to allergic reactions. Also, the skin around your eyes is constantly moving. Think about it. Blinking, squinting, smiling, frowning: these movements can all cause strain on the tiny muscles around the eye. We need to protect it!
What are the benefits of incorporating an eye cream?
Eye creams are specifically formulated to add anti-aging benefits while respecting the sensitivity of the eye area. Therefore, adding an eye cream day and night can help to minimize wrinkles/fine lines, help with discoloration, decrease puffiness, reduce dark circles, and even out skin tone.
When is the best time to start using an eye cream?
The sooner the better actually! It is best to start using an eye cream before you feel like you need one. Best results come from prevention!
My personal favorite eye cream is Beautycounter’s Countertime Ultra Renewal eye cream. I have been using consistently and have noticed quite a difference. Beautycounter’s Countertime eye cream does such a great job of treating crow’s feet around the eyes as well as keeping the skin hydrated! This eye cream does not pill under concealer either! If you do have naturally oily skin, it is always a good idea to add a mattifying powder after applying makeup to keep your products in place throughout the day!
How to use Beautycounter’s Countertime Ultra Renewal Eye Cream
