Hello! Remember, in the last review I was disappointed cream for eye area Cliniquepep-start? It cost dearly, and nearly the entire amount of a gift certificate went to him (1700 rubles in gold map Rive Gauche).
After this unsuccessful purchase I thought: and that the so special ingredients in creams for the eyes alone? whether it is necessary at all, or you can do a face cream? In answering these questions, I have helped friends beauticians.
Especially the skin around the eyes
Cream around the eyes - the most expensive of all the creams for the rest of the body. What is the logic of such a high price? Sales consultants explain that the skin in this area almost crystal, and features in the structure.
Yes, everyone already knows that the skin around the eyes is not fat. But! The top layer of skin, the epidermis, is no different from the epidermis to the arms, shoulders or back. Cosmetics, which quietly sold in stores, it works only with the epidermis. Deeper operate special medicines that are used beauticians, and the law prohibited their sale.
So there is fatty tissue or not it - it does not matter! The epidermis around the eyes is the same as in other parts of the body. Lack of fat - not a reason to say that the skin around the eyes need some special care.
However, the absence of the layer of fat suggests that the skin in this area is very thin and easily deformed. It is impossible to once again pull or rub the skin around the eyes, or the appearance of new wrinkles is inevitable. This moment is just justifies the fact that the skin in this area needs special care, namely - the fluidity of cream: it has to be absorbed instantly and good slide on the skin, that once again it does not rub your finger (additional friction we do not need, as well as the formation of wrinkles due this).
So, for the skin around the eyes Cream should not have a thick and sticky consistency (but not too liquid, so as not to hit the eye), as well as quickly as possible should be absorbed.
And there are creams and face full of a whole! Here is that information shared with me the familiar beautician.
That's not all:-)
Once the skin around the eyes is thin, the material is easier to penetrate inside: as useful in the composition of cosmetics, as well as negative (dirt, dust, and of about ultraviolet do not forget). And since it is easy to penetrate through harmful substances, then over time it becomes irritable and very sensitive.
The active ingredients in cosmetics for a permeable skin is also harmful, they also make the skin sensitive. Therefore, the concentration of such substances to the skin around the eye should be less than for the other parts of the face.
And it is true: manufacturers agents for the skin around the eyes lay less active substances. And it turns out this picture: we buy means for the area around the eyes, which are more expensive, and useful active ingredients in them is smaller than in traditional face creams! And the means for the skin around the eyes because of this well can never be more efficient than conventional creams.
What cream can be used for the eye area
Any moisturizer or nourishing. The main thing that was not a part of fragrances and essential oils. Perfumes besides irritation even increase the photosensitivity of the skin (get old too soon), and essential oils have good penetrating properties that eyes behold it is not necessary, or because of the increased sensitivity will irritation.
Is the eye care of facial skin care in general?
In fact, no. The only feature of the area around the eyes - dark circles and bags under the eyes. There is no such thing in other parts of the face. And the reason for bags or dark circles under the eyes lies deeper than the epidermis. And as I said before - it is impossible to manufacturers of cosmetics to produce for the free sale of products with powerful components that work deeper into the epidermis (to the dermis).
Cosmetics that promises to get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes, greatly exaggerated. But the effect is easy. It's better than nothing, but the pay is not worth the price of 2-3.
From the swelling we know how to get rid of - patches. Blood circulation problem is solved by using cosmetics with herbal extracts. Other causes of edema have identified and solved together with the doctor.
So, to sum up all of the above.
For the eye area suitable conventional moisturizing and nourishing cream for the face. The main thing - not thick, absorbs quickly and without fragrances and essential oils. If the skin in these places you have sensitive, then a beautician selected professional products. Of course, you can believe in themselves and save on cosmetology, picking up their own funds themselves, but then for any severe irritation - cosmetics manufacturer is to blame.
