Do you know what causes all the signs of aging in the eye contour? Understanding how and why skin ages, gives you the power to take proper care of yourself. Discover the root causes of the signs of aging that are specific to one of the most delicate areas on your face: the eye contour. Learning how to identify an issue is the first step to fighting it.

CROW'S FEET Do you know that the wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes are called Crow’s Feet? But, do you know how they’re formed? The answer is: repetitive facial movements, like squinting or smiling. And these wrinkles worsen with the loss of elasticity caused by age and sun damage. To prevent Crow’s Feet, you need to relax your eye muscles, get plenty of rest and protect your eyes from the sun. We recommend adding the eye contour Micro Channel Patches with ingredients like Acetyl Octapeptide-3 to your beauty ritual, as this active ingredient helps relax the appearance of facial lines and promotes the synthesis of structural components.

UNDER-EYE EXPRESSION LINES

We get expression lines beneath our eyes even before the dreaded Crow’s Feet. This area is home to very fine skin that’s low in collagen and has a weak moisture barrier, which allows facial expressions to leave a permanent mark from a relatively young age. The best beauty ally to prevent them is skincare that energises and provides in-depth moisture, including ingredients like Adenosine and Hyaluronic Acid. These provide a more flexible, supple and firmer-looking gaze.

DARK CIRCLES Do you often start the day with dark circles? Shadows or changes in the colour of the skin below the eyes are primarily caused by poor circulation and blood vessel permeability. This can be hereditary, or caused by fatigue, stress and smoking. So, get plenty of rest and avoid bad habits, then choose eye contour skincare with ingredients that fight fatigue or help stimulate this area, like extract of marine Undaria pinnatifida. You’ll refresh your entire eye area.

UNDER-EYE BAGS

Under-eye bags are unquestionably one of the most frustrating signs of eye contour ageing. Puffiness is caused by an accumulation of liquids and fats and appears gradually, as things become visible after a certain point. Under-eye bags are hereditary, but your lifestyle, stress levels and smoking also play their part. We recommend choosing eye contour Micro Channel Patches with ingredients that help decongest the area to combat this issue.

SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION Lines and wrinkles appear due to a lack of moisture, which also results in less supple, less flexible, and more haggard-looking skin. This area’s lack of structural components and sebaceous glands makes it harder to retain water and reduces natural cutaneous hydration. And this gets worse over time. The key? Moisturise, moisturise and then moisturise some more. So don’t forget to use one of the eye contour Micro Channel Patches that include Hyaluronic Acid biopolymer in them, which in fact occurs naturally in the skin and attracts 1,000 times its weight in water – this makes it super hydrating.

DULLNESS

Dryness and signs of fatigue equal an opaque and lifeless eye contour. To avoid a dull, lacklustre gaze, we recommend choosing dedicated eye contour skincare that reinforces radiance. Apply overnight to promote absorption and multiply the benefits by giving yourself a little massage in the morning. You’ll definitely see the difference.
