Wrinkles, Dark Circles, and Puffiness: At Every Age, Your Eye Contour Care

Fine lines at the corner of the eyes, puffiness, dark circles, drooping eyelids. The eye area is the one that most cruelly betrays fatigue and the passing years. However, there are effective care routines, whatever our age. A fresh and bright appearance is enough to make us look almost 10 years younger. From 25 to over 60, we provide an overview of the best plans to care for this delicate area at any age.

From 25 years: Targeting fine lines and draining puffiness

The skin around the eyes is excessively fragile, three times thinner than the rest of the face. Without hypodermis (the deepest area below the dermis), it doesn't receive the nutrients that the rest of the facial skin does. It also lacks sebaceous glands and tends to dry faster than other areas. To make matters worse, the eye muscles are constantly used, with over 10,000 blinks per day. All of this explains why fine lines appear under the lower eyelid or at the corner of the eye, even before we hit thirty. These initial marks are, above all, a sign that our skin is dehydrated; therefore, we must provide moisturizing active ingredients, but above all, non-oily. This is done by gently massaging the fine lines in small circular motions, morning and night, creating a V between the index and middle finger at the corner of the eye towards the temple. Then apply the usual face cream when the product has penetrated enough.

From 30 to 40 years: Fighting against wrinkles and dark circles

Erase wrinkles. Signs of aging appear more or less quickly, depending on our genetics and lifestyle. The phenomenon is progressive: the skin around the eyes is much more fragile than that of the face, and epidermal renewal is slower. It is exacerbated, for example, if we squint too often in front of the computer, in the sun, or while concentrating. Furrows are carved around the temples, under the eyes, and on the forehead (crow's feet). It is necessary to favor care that protects or restores our elastic fibers that relax. Every day, we apply the equivalent of a grain of rice of our favorite product in very light touches in the eye area, practice a twist of the pyramid (located at the top of the nose, between the two eyes) with the index finger and draw an 8 around the eyes, ending with a spiral towards the temples.

Conceal dark circles. We must fight against blood stagnation that oxidizes and reveals blue or brown pigments under the skin, which becomes thinner with age. Be careful, concealers camouflage pigmentation but often accentuate the contour lines. It's better to increase microcirculation for an overall beautiful effect.

50 years or more: Fat pouches and drooping eyebrows

After 50 years, the bone structure of the entire face becomes thinner. Cheekbones lose volume, temples widen, and the forehead bone flattens, causing the upper eyelid to sag. Hormonal deficiencies set in and weaken all tissues. This is the perfect time to invest in a comprehensive anti-aging treatment that can redensify the skin, regenerate subcutaneous cells, and increase blood flow to oxygenate them. The cream is applied in small touches all around the eye area using a massage accessory (available in most products) or, in its absence, with the index finger. Light touches should be made on the lower and upper eyelid to activate microcirculation. To perfect our appearance, we smooth the space between the eyebrows, the upper eyelid towards crow's feet with a toning gesture to firm the eye area. Finally, the lower eyelid is lightly stretched at the level of dark circles, from the inside out, to promote drainage and reduce signs of fatigue.

Some targeted care on the market is relatively expensive. They contain powerful and rare active ingredients, included in high-tech textures that penetrate quickly without the risk of irritating the eyes. Therefore, a small amount is sufficient, and their packaging allows for a treatment of two to three months.

At any age, after a short night: Soothe the eyes

During the night, lymphatic circulation decreases, leading to an accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the eyelids. This phenomenon is even more pronounced if we drink alcohol or eat a lot of salty foods. It is essential to stimulate microcirculation with draining and astringent active ingredients, practicing decongestant maneuvers.

Regardless of our age, it is advisable to put a drop of product on our two little fingers, make several gentle pressures under the eyes at the level of the pouches (but without smoothing) from the inner corner to the outer corner. Ideally, if you have one, use a small massage tool with a metal tip. And for even more efficiency, you can leave products and tools in the refrigerator for a few moments to decongest more quickly.
