Eye Creams: Antiaging Eye Cream, Cream or Gel for Eye

As we all learn sooner or later there is no more vulnerable to aging then the area around our eyes. Because the area around our eyes is so thin that is where we begin to notice any signs of aging such as puffy eyes or dark circles around the eyes. There are many different eye creams that say they help with this but which is the best one out there? Many eye creams go through a lot of tests before they are put out on the market so the yare safe for use near your eyes, but which is the right one for you?

There are two different types of aging one is genetic, which is one that we cannot really control and the other is environmental which can cause 80 % of aging in people. Some people say facial moisturizers will work as well as most eye cream but this is not true. Facial moisturizers will not work in place of any eye creams because they are not safe for use around the eyes because they contain active ingredients that are too fragile to use around your eyes and can cause serious effects.  It may cause stinging or burning around the eyes, no eye cream should do these but if you use an eye cream that dose stop using it right away.

There are 2 different kinds of eye creams one that fights bag, puffiness, and dark circles around the eyes and the other is anti- aging. Most experts say that eye creams are the first step in reducing aging around the eyes. Most people think that the more eye cream they use the better it works but this is not true at all, only use the recommended amount a thin layer applied to the lower part of the eye will work better then putting a lot. Eye tightening creams should be the last thing you put on your face over your foundation because putting anything over it can break down its foundation.
           
Eye creams, gels, and serums have pros and cons for use. Gels are better used for acne prone skin providing that they do not have alcohol that can dry out the skin. Creams and serums are for normal to dry skin work best when the yare used under make up. In this day and age the choices of eye cream on the market can be so overwhelming especially since the cream really only treat three main problems. So what happens if you have crow’s feet and dark circles what do you do then?

Puffy eyes and bags

Puffy eyes and bags are caused when fluid gets trapped under the eye this most happens when you get up in the morning. Also allergy and sinus problems can lead to this as well and in this case you do not need eye cream only allergy or sinus medication can cure this. So if you thin your puffy eyes are caused by allergies or sinus do not waste your money on eye creams but go to your local pharmacy and buy some allergy medication instead. If the problem isn’t due to this medical condition some other quick fixes for this can be and of the following:

  • Cucumber slices or tea bags applied to the eyes can also help to reduce the swelling of puffy eyes.
  • Also less use of salt and alcohol can help with this problem as well.
  • Exercising can also help reduce access water, which may also be causing your puffy eyes.
  • At night when you sleep raising the pillow so that it is higher then the rest of your body can also help to reduce the fluid from entering the eyes.

Crows Feet

Crows feet usually appear near the corner of your eyes this is because there are fewer oil glands around the eye area. We cannot do much about genetic aging but we can prevent and treat aging caused by environmental reasons such as sunlight and smoke. Which tend to dry out the sing and cause wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes. Using creams that contain vitamins such as A, C and E, which keeps skin from breaking down and smoothes, fine lines and wrinkles it helps to strengthen the skin and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles from appearing.
