Look Young With These Top Eye Creams

From cosmetics, to hairsprays, nail lacquers, beauty masks, wrinkle creams and eye creams, beauty and personal care manufacturers have surprised consumers in many ways. Just when the buying public thinks every possible product category has probably been invented, a new one pops up. With superb marketing strategies, sooner or later, these new categories become a need rather than a want. That’s why you should not be surprised how you’ve ended up with a bathroom full of half-empty product packaging.

Why do you need an Eye Cream?

If you’re still not quite convinced why you might need a La Mer Eye Cream or a similar product for your skincare regimen, below are five more reasons that establish what could be a pressing need for your skin right now:

1. Skin around your eyes can be up to 10 times thinner than skin on your face, which makes it very delicate and therefore more prone to damage and signs of skin aging.

2. This area consists of very few oil glands compared to the rest of your face, leaving it dry.

3. The human anatomy situates the eye area on practically two holes in your skull. That means, absence of structural support for this area which makes it more prone to sagging.

4. Thin skin, coupled with a network of fragile blood vessels can give your eye area a purplish tone as the veins show through thin skin. Other than that, the thin, prone to breakage capilliaries can easily get stuck with fluid which, in turn, can leak around the eyes.

5. Every human expression probably involves the eyes.

The best eye creams help you address all the unique characteristics of skin around your eyes listed from 1 through 5.
