So it turns out quite a few of you are on the hunt for a decent eye cream. Too many late nights, beauty readers? Whether or not you’ve been hitting the tiles, the books or the office desk a little too hard, getting into the habit of using an eye cream in your skin care regime isn’t a bad idea.
The skin beneath our eyes is extremely delicate and highly susceptible to the everyday wear and tear of stress, eye rubbing, dehydration, partying and a poor diet. It manifests its unhappiness in dark smudges, bags and puffiness which aren’t, let’s all agree, ideal.
Whilst we’re young, our skin still has its natural bounce-back ability, thanks to the fact it is still producing its own elastin and collagen. So steer clear of anti ageing products which will simply make your skin lazy and reliant on expensive creams doing its job. Choose a product designed for younger skin that concentrates on hydrating and protecting, rather than plumping skin and erasing wrinkles.
Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Cream is a great one to start with. Chock full of cooling cucumber, invigorating ginseng and magnesium, it is a refreshing cream that provides long lasting nourishment. Vitamin E and UVA/UVB do the defense work, helping the delicate skin fortify itself against daily damage. The best part is you can feel it working as it gently tingles, the ginseng and cucumber putting themselves to work.
This is a cool balm that will soothe tired, dry and scratchy Friday morning eyes. It instantly calms puffiness and, if used regularly, will work on reducing those pesky bags.
