It is always important to remember that the delicate skin surrounding your eyes is worth that little extra care. Did you know it’s the thinnest layer of skin on your entire body? It is therefore the most sensitive and susceptible to more ageing.
Eye creams are specially formulated for this fragile area of skin; to help banish wrinkles, brighten dark circles and hydrate to give a youthful appearance. They are a crucial addition to your skincare regime – so a big no-no to using your regular face cream around your eyes people!
Here are some new offerings to the eye cream market that we’ve been using and love; and see great results from that we think you should try out for yourselves:
Timebomb
This anti ageing eye cream has a balm-like texture and keeps the delicate skin around the eyes moist and plump, helping combat dark circles. When patted on, it keeps a fresh look to the skin whilst reducing puffiness and fine lines. You only need a small amount and is perfect over or under makeup. This is recently repackaged in a tube for hygienic application too which is a big thumbs up for us!
Aveda
Aveda have used a plant energy complex to treat the skin around our eyes with; the creamy texture smooths out to reveal a soft, hydrated finish. This cream really boosts by increasing energy in the cells to help reduce visible puffiness. Think lots of moisture and hydration – plus it contains emollients that really make this a comforting and comfortable eye treat, and it’s packed full of antioxidants too. Superb.
Liz Earle
Slow the ticking on your eye area with Liz Earle’s super hydrating cream, enriched with their renowned Superskin botanical blend. Combining rosehip, borage and cranberry seed oils with a bunch of powerful naturally active ingredients makes this potent cream so effective at lifting and firming your eye contours. Great for any skin types.
Claudalie
This double-action creamy gel-like formula combines Polyphenol + vitamin C for instant awakening and brightening. It is enriched with powerful ingredients such as fern, horse chestnut and witch hazel extracts to help tighten, smooth and moisturise the skin. Great for both morning and night use for both the eye and lip area.
Estee Lauder
This clever double-cream system is Estee Lauder’s two-step eye treatment to Firm and Fill your eye contours. Firm with the ultra light cushion-y gel formula first, which helps lift and smooth the skin, including a pro-collagen complex for a visibly youthful appearance. Next, Fill with their multi-level Shaping Technology and light-diffusing optics, to immediately reveal smooth, plump hydrated skin.
Epionce
This eye cream is a brand favourite for good reason. The highly-moisturising cream effectively repairs, prevents and reduces the visible signs of skin ageing around the delicate eye area. The key ingredients include date and apple fruit extract, rosehip and avocado complex; which sounds good enough to eat! Perfect for application under makeup, too.
