Proven rules for caring for the skin of the eyelids and around the eyes and the best homemade masks. Proper skin care around the eyes

Everyone knows that the first signs of aging in a woman appear around the eyes, since this area has the thinnest layer of the epidermis and almost no sebaceous glands and muscles, which is why the skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity. That is why the skin around the eyes needs regular, thorough, and most importantly, proper care.

Caring for the skin around the eyes, namely constant moisturizing, must begin as early as possible. Since the skin of the eyelids is always mobile (facial expressions, blinking), with the exception of sleep, skin stretching and the first wrinkles can appear quite quickly if there is insufficient hydration. From 20-25 years old, the skin needs special care, including cleansing, toning, moisturizing and nourishing. It is necessary to choose eyelid skin care products very carefully. In addition, until the age of 25-30, it is better to refrain from using anti-aging skin care products around the eyes, of course, unless the skin is in a “deplorable” condition. It is best to use light, moisturizing gels and creams in care. In addition, various natural oils which are effective. They can be purchased at any pharmacy at an inexpensive price. When choosing eye care products, be sure to pay attention to their composition. It is very good if the products contain vitamins A and E. In addition, when choosing various means To care for the skin around the eyes, you need to not only forget about your skin type, but also take into account your age. For example, when choosing skin care products for the skin around the eyes after 40 years, it is best to give preference to products that promote cell renewal and restoration, as well as the production of collagen and elastin, thereby helping to restore elasticity and firmness to the skin. For young skin, the most suitable cosmetics will be those containing fruit and plant extracts, as well as vegetable oils. Particular attention should be paid to cosmetic products against the appearance of facial wrinkles. Such products most often provide a temporary effect, but stopping their use may, as a rule, contribute to the deterioration of the skin condition. The reason lies in the fact that the effect of cosmetics against facial wrinkles is mainly aimed at weakening muscle contractions, which contributes to a slower supply of blood to tissues. As a result, we have a lack of nutrition for the skin cells around the eyes, sagging skin, on which even more wrinkles appear.

Now let’s look directly at the main stages of caring for the skin around the eyes.

Cleansing.
Cleansing is an important, regular and mandatory procedure. A special cosmetic milk is usually used to remove eye makeup. Today, the cosmetic industry offers the newest eye makeup removers, which are two liquids that do not mix with each other: the upper liquid contains ultra-light oils that perfectly remove waterproof makeup, the lower liquid contains soothing plant extracts and is used to remove “regular » cosmetics and irritations. You can use fatty creams and oil-based eye make-up removers only if you use waterproof cosmetics. For those who wear contact lenses, it is not advisable to use greasy eye makeup removers. For this purpose, it is better to use a fat-free lotion to remove eye makeup and abandon waterproof mascara in favor of regular one.

Rules for removing eye makeup.
First you need to remove the mascara. To do this, apply eye makeup remover to cotton swabs, apply to the eyes for 2 - 3 minutes, and then carefully remove any remaining makeup. Mascara must be removed along the eyelash growth line - from roots to tips. The rest of the cosmetics is also removed using a cotton swab and a selected special product, and cleansing must be carried out along massage lines. The swab must be swabbed from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, and then in the opposite direction. It is very important not to rub or stretch the skin. In addition, it is not recommended to rub the makeup remover into the skin to prevent it from being absorbed into it. It is better to remove makeup and dirt by lightly patting the skin. It is strictly forbidden to remove makeup from the skin around the eyes with hot or very cold water, or, even worse, with soap. This can cause a lot of damage to your skin that may not be easy to reverse.

Moisturizing and nutrition.
Special lotions, gels and creams are used to moisturize and nourish the skin around the eyes. These products, unlike conventional skin care products, do not contain various oils, which, when used, spread and can get into the eyes, thereby causing irritation. Such products must be approved by ophthalmologists. The use of creams is more suitable for dry skin, since they replenish the fat supply that is so lacking in the area around the eyes, smooth out fine wrinkles that can be caused by a lack of moisture, and also make the skin smooth and elastic. It is better not to apply creams to the upper eyelids and the area directly under the eyes, as various fats and oils contained in them can get into the eye, which is very harmful. It is imperative to read the ingredients of the product you are purchasing. The presence of a substance such as lanolin in creams must be avoided, since this substance can cause redness and irritation of the eyes when used.

It is very important to correctly apply skin care products around the eyes, since incorrect application of even the most effective and expensive product can have the opposite effect: wrinkles, swelling and bags under the eyes will not take long to appear. It is strictly forbidden to smear the cream on the skin of the eyelids. It is recommended to apply cream for the skin around the eyes ring finger, since he is the most “non-working”. Drops of cream should be applied with light, circular, barely noticeable movements along the massage lines around the eyes. In addition, you can do light tapping with your fingertips, but this is only if you have circles under your eyes. This method of application promotes effective penetration of the cream, prevents skin stretching, and stimulates blood circulation. Eye cream should be applied from the outer corner to the inner corner, and not vice versa, as many of us do.

Lotions are lighter in composition than creams, so they are absorbed faster. They also help smooth out wrinkles and make the skin smooth and shiny. Gels for the skin around the eyes are the most effective and useful, especially in cases of increased eye sensitivity, tendency to swelling, and wearing contact lenses. Products such as gels for the skin around the eyes can also be applied to the eyelids. To avoid any allergic reactions, as well as conjunctivitis, it is necessary to change skin care products around the eyes periodically, namely once every four months.

Toning.
The use of lotions, gels and tonics based on plant extracts soothes and refreshes the skin. To do this you need to moisten cotton pad in one of the mentioned products, apply cotton wool and apply to the eyes for 5-10 minutes. The skin around the eyes requires a different treatment, especially if any problems have arisen. Frozen ice cubes made from a decoction of calendula, chamomile, mint, parsley or linden blossom, or plain drinking water, have a good tonic effect. It’s very good to rub an ice cube over the skin around your eyes every morning after washing your face for a few minutes, and then let the skin dry on its own. Cosmetologists recommend using skin toning and moisturizing cosmetics based on plant extracts twice a day, morning and evening after cleansing the skin. It is very useful for the skin of the eyelids, especially after 30 years, to make various nourishing, refreshing and toning masks that help smooth out wrinkles and eliminate age spots and swelling.

Toning cucumber mask. For this you can use 1 tsp cucumber juice. and 1 tsp. powdered milk. The resulting mixture is applied to the skin of the eyelids for 10 minutes, then removed with a damp swab. In addition, it is useful to apply cucumber slices to the skin of the eyelids for 5-10 minutes.

It is very useful to use various oils to moisturize the skin, such as jojoba oil, castor or olive oil. Apply the oil to the skin around the eyes clockwise.

Refreshing mask: 2 teaspoons of dry dill, pour 0.5 cups of boiling water and leave for 15-20 minutes. Wet cotton swabs generously and, after squeezing them lightly, apply them to the eyes for 20 minutes.

Nourishing mask: mix 1.5 tbsp. spoons of tomato juice with 1 yolk. Then dissolve 2 tbsp. baby formula in a small amount of water and combine with the tomato-yolk mixture. Apply to the skin around the eyes.

Mask for tired eyes: it is useful to nourish your eyes with grape juice, for which you just need to cut a grape and rub half over the skin around the eyes.

Natural mask for dry skin around the eyes: mix 1 yolk and 1 teaspoon of honey, apply the resulting mixture to the eyelids for 10 minutes.

Everyone knows the saying that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. Poor sleep, worries and many other factors are reflected in our eyes. Here are some tips on what to do when dark circles appear under the eyes or puffiness after sleep. For the morning cleansing procedure, you can use a special cooling eye gel based on plant extracts. Apply this gel in a small amount to the upper and lower eyelids for a few minutes, and then you can start applying makeup. The most common remedy for puffy eyes is the use of cold black tea bags. To do this, you need to brew the bags with hot water, cool and place on your eyelids for a few minutes. After this, you need to apply a thin layer of cream to the area around the eyes and be sure to do physical exercise, you can even run, since tea lotions in combination with sweating and physical activity help eliminate swelling quite quickly. In addition, in pharmacies you can buy special eye masks that are made of plastic and filled with gel. They must be stored in the refrigerator. If necessary, such masks are applied to closed eyes for a few minutes. You can also prepare a herbal mask at home. To do this, you need to mince the parsley roots, apply the resulting mixture to your eyes and leave for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. In any case, you need to consult an ophthalmologist to make sure that your kidneys are in good order.

To hide dark circles under the eyes, there are special concealers called concealers. These products have a fairly light and delicate texture, although their ability to hide imperfections is much higher than any foundation. Before applying concealers, it is recommended to use a lifting cream, which will smooth out fine wrinkles and improve skin tone. It is imperative to allow the cream to absorb so that the skin looks smoother. A product that masks dark circles under the eyes should be applied only to the “bruised” area. The finishing touch will be powdering the area of the lower and upper eyelids.

Bags under the eyes.
Bags under the eyes are also a common problem in the eye area. What you need to do to prevent their occurrence:

it is necessary to sleep so that the head is slightly higher than the level of the body;
don't use it too much fatty creams for the skin around the eyes, as they only contribute to increased puffiness;
do not abuse beer and other alcoholic drinks, salty and spicy foods, as all this leads to the accumulation of fluid, and, consequently, swelling.

Contrasting compresses made from sage decoction help in the fight against bags under the eyes: this requires 1 hour. l. pour sage herbs with half a glass of boiling water, leave for 10 minutes, strain and divide into two portions - hot and cold. Make two gauze pads and alternately apply cold and hot compresses to your eyes for 10 minutes. This procedure must be done for a month before going to bed. In addition to sage, chamomile or dill are suitable for this compress. You can use a mask of raw grated potatoes: the mixture is spread on gauze and applied to the eyelids for 10-15 minutes, 1-2 times a week. In addition, a special massage (lymphatic drainage), which is best done by a specialist cosmetologist, provides a significant improvement. Bags under the eyes can be disguised foundation, which must be applied in a very thin layer, which should be slightly darker than your natural skin tone.

Irritation and inflammation.
Eye baths are very helpful for eye inflammation. A convenient small container (cuvette) must be filled with soft liquid eye cream, which can be purchased at a pharmacy, and carefully applied to open eye and rotate the eyeball until it becomes moist. In addition, you can use eye drops, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. However, some drops contain substances that constrict blood vessels, so they are not recommended for long-term use. Redness of the eyes can be relieved with infusion of chamomile or linden. For this you need 1 tsp. dry flowers, pour a glass of boiling water, leave for 15 minutes and strain.

Small wrinkles around the eyes.
To prevent the appearance of fine wrinkles around the eyes, it is necessary to use special cosmetics that affect collagen production; in bright sunlight, especially in summer periods, must be worn Sunglasses to avoid frequent blinking and squinting. In addition, it is very important to regularly massage the area around the eyes with oils (olive, almond), which prevents the premature appearance of wrinkles: apply a few drops of oil with your fingertips to the area around the eyes and light circular and massaging movements in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer . After this, close your eyes, place your bent fingers on your eyelids and try to open your eyes. Under tension, raise your eyebrows at the same time.

Masks from the “mesh” around the eyes.
Infusion from fresh leaves birch: pour 1 glass of birch leaves with 1 glass of cold water and leave for 8 hours, strain. Use as a compress. Melt 1 tbsp. l. honey and mix with 1 tbsp. wheat flour and whipped egg white. When the mask dries, wash it off with warm water.

Wrinkles can be camouflaged using products containing ultra-fine powder particles that reflect light, thereby making wrinkles less noticeable. Biohyaluronic acid and malt oil strengthen the skin and make it more elastic. This type of product should be applied in the morning with light patting movements before applying makeup.

Organizing proper care for the skin around the eyes, as well as eliminating the causes (smoking, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue) that can lead to the above problems will contribute to beautiful, elastic skin without any wrinkles or unpleasant defects.

As they say, eyes are the reflection of the soul. Very often, the eyes reflect not only happiness and fun, but also stress and sleepless nights. That is why behind the eyes you also need a special care, especially for the skin around our eye.

The skin around the eyes is very delicate and sensitive. Of course, its structure is no different from the structure of our skin in principle, but muscles and subcutaneous fat are virtually absent, which is why the skin of the eyelids is less elastic and very prone to stretching.

The skin of the eyelids is poorly saturated with collagen and elastin, and our eyelids are also subject to severe tension (we blink about 24,000 times a day), so small facial wrinkles And appear at a young age.

We all understand perfectly well that you need to start taking care of your eye skin not when you already see wrinkles in the mirror, but earlier, while still young...
But we are here and now, and therefore we will talk about what right now, at our elegant age, will help keep the skin of the eyelids in good acceptable condition.

Caring for the skin of your eyelids does not require much time, you just need to get into the habit of caring for it . Take into account the following rules, thanks to which you can preserve the beauty of your eyes:

Decorative cosmetics and

makeup remover

1. First of all, learn apply correctly decorative cosmetics . By itself, it does not lead to the appearance of wrinkles. But many of us have habits such as stretching the skin of our eyelids or wincing. These are similar bad habits and contribute to the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.

Even if you don't succeed the first time, try again. After practicing several times, you can easily draw a clear line with a pencil or carefully paint over your eyelashes, without stretching your eyes “for convenience.”

If you have the opportunity, purchase professional products for applying makeup: they will greatly simplify your task.

2. Yours eye makeup remover must be chosen correctly.

If you use waterproof cosmetics, use a special eye makeup remover.

To remove makeup, it is best to use cotton sponges (discs):

Never rub your eyes!

Take 1 cotton pad and separate it. Fold each piece in half, moisten it with your lotion or milk and place it under your eyes, under your lower eyelashes.
Now we will treat one eye, since you will look at your manipulations in the mirror with the other. Take 1 disc and moisten it with your product (how much depends on your makeup).
Close your other eye and apply this disc tightly for a few seconds, this will make it easier to remove makeup. Remove the disc.
Moisten a cotton swab with makeup remover and gently remove mascara from the eyelashes onto the placed half-disk (from the roots of the eyelashes to the ends).
Then, with this half-disk, slightly curling it, collect the remaining mascara from the eyelashes.
Now treat the other eye in the same way.
And after removing your makeup, be sure to wash your face to remove any remnants of the product you used.

Eye cream

Never use it on your eyelids – your face cream! Because all face creams will be quite “heavy” for the delicate and thin skin around the eyes.

We won’t go into cosmetic details, just remember that you can’t apply face cream to the skin around your eyes! On the contrary, it is possible. That is, eye cream can be applied to the face, neck, and décolleté.

Using the “wrong” cream can lead to wrinkles.

When buying an eye cream, look at the composition: it will be better if it includes collagen, vitamins A or E, elastin, and such a cream should have a neutral pH.
Also pay attention to the texture: it should not be too greasy.
The eye cream should be appropriate for your age.
The cream should not cause an allergic reaction. Even an eye cream declared by the manufacturer as hypoallergenic can cause an allergic reaction due to literally one ingredient that is not suitable for your skin!

Apply eye cream correctly

on the skin around the eyes

If special conditions of use are not attached to the cream, then it should be applied as follows:

Squeeze out a cream from a tube or take from a jar, about the size of half a piece of rice - onto your ring finger.
Divide the cream into both ring fingers and spread the cream under the eyes (along the bone!) in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the bridge of the nose, then go up under the eyebrow and finish at the outer corners of the eyes (right on the “crow’s feet”).
Walk in a circle 3-4 times, carefully patting the cream.

It is advisable to apply eye cream 1-2 before bedtime, that is, in accordance with schedule for skin.

Salon treatments for the skin around the eyes

Often, one eyelid cream may not be enough. In any case, 2-3 times a month, or a course, if you have the time and opportunity, pamper yourself salon treatments. Today there are many of them. But be careful when choosing a salon so as not to get a negative effect.

One of the simplest, most accessible and really good procedures is eyelid massage.

First of all, massaging the eyelids will help relieve eye fatigue and make the skin of the eyelids more elastic.
Also, eyelid massage effectively removes bags under the eyes.

Be sure to make sure that your massage therapist is truly professional and competent. If you are not sure about this, it is better to change the master and/or learn how to do it yourself massage century at home.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that it is by the skin of the eyelids that you can find out about the true age of a woman (and also by the neck, by the hands - how many more such traitors will appear?).

Therefore, never forget to pay attention to your “second passport”. After all, it doesn’t take a lot of time, all you need is your desire. Just 10 minutes in the morning, 10-20 minutes in the evening and 30 minutes for steep care 2-3 times a week. Just!

And how much beauty and youth you will have! And how much joy!

Monitor status skin around the eyes simply necessary, because a woman’s eyes are a real weapon! But something bad can happen, and the skin around the eyes will no longer be as elastic as before, and expression lines will appear. The skin around the eyes is very thin and fragile.

It does not have sebaceous and sweat glands and a fat layer, it has practically no elastin and collagen, so it quickly loses its elasticity and moisture, bruises under the eyes and swelling appear.

Poor environment, lack of sleep, no healthy image life and especially bad habits also cause great harm.

You can also make masks from potatoes with cream, honey and wheat flour.

The most important thing is to remember to wash off the mask. If you have absolutely no time to prepare masks, you can apply tea bags to your eyes, which will also bring benefits.

The biggest damage to the skin can be caused by makeup not washed off at night. Therefore, cleansing your makeup is a mandatory procedure at night. Under no circumstances should the skin around the eyes be stretched, so everything should be done gently and smoothly. You need to use special products - milk and foam.

There is also a two-phase product that contains oils for the lungs and safe removal makeup and liquid based on plant extracts to relieve fatigue.

To keep your skin moisturized, you need to use nourishing creams, gels and lotions. It is from a lack of moisture that wrinkles appear in the skin. But you need to look at the composition of the products, because if they contain animal wax (lanolin), it can cause redness and swelling. The cream should be applied with point movements.

Skin around the eyes- requires special care, because our eyes are one of the greatest treasures given to us by nature. It is with the help of these senses that we receive basic information about the world around us. In addition, for every woman this is the most important decoration, bright, radiant and sparkling. But over time, the clean cut of this jewel loses its appeal. Wrinkles appear around the eyes. And due to regular exercise, they also suffer from bags and circles under the eyes.

With the modern pace of life, quite a lot of problems arise:

The skin near the eyes is very thin, there are no fatty layers, which means it is more prone to dryness and dehydration than the rest of the body. That is why, no matter what exactly your problem is related to this area of the face, it should be solved through proper care, which we will talk about later.

Rules for caring for the skin around the eyes

Very often, all our knowledge in the field of rules for caring for the skin around the eyes lies in one picture, which depicts a girl with cucumber circles on her eyes. But it is not at all necessary to turn to expensive plastic surgeons in order to get rid of an ugly and aesthetically unpleasant phenomenon. First of all, you must remember that it is much easier to prevent this attack than to treat it for a long time and painfully. This means you should learn in advance the basic rules for caring for the delicate skin around the eyes:

Train yourself to never, under any circumstances, rub your eyes or stretch delicate skin. Under no circumstances should you pull your eyelids back or rub various products and creams with intense movements. Only possible way application of cosmetic and medicinal preparations can be done by light tapping, driving in with finger pads. This way you do not injure the epithelium and activate blood circulation in this area.
Apply all cosmetic and caring creams, oils and other products only to the area under the eyes and under the eyebrow. The upper, mobile eyelid should become an untouchable zone for you.
Vary your eye care routine depending on the season. Summer and winter methods should be different from each other. So in the summer cosmetical tools should be lighter, more moisturizing, but in winter, place more emphasis on protection and nutrition.
Be sure to remove your makeup before going to bed. It’s better if you remove decorative cosmetics from your face as soon as you return home.
