Total Eye Care is Dermatologist’s answer for an eye cream that addresses more than just hydrating the skin. The skin around the eye area is very delicate; it is no wonder that the eyes are one of the first places to show the signs of aging and damage. The skin around the eyes is thinner and does not contain any oil glands.
Eye Care Makeup
As we age fine lines appear due to the lack of moisture around the eye area, and the elasticity and collagen breaks down causing our skin to fold around the eye area from all of those years of sun damage. Some people suffer with puffiness and dark circles around the eyes and flakiness and dryness can become more apparent from the lack of oils in the eye area.
Most eye creams are only capable of hydrating the tissues around the eyes and in fact some eye creams can be overly-hydrating they actually clog the delicate eye area causing milia (little white hard lumps under the skin’s surface). Milia can be caused from rich ingredients such as mineral oil or lanolin; I have even found these ingredients in eye makeup removers.
Milia can be hard to remove and normally involves a treatment with a skin care therapist who is skilled at removing milia with a needle! I have seen this on many individuals and can also be caused from using your normal moisturiser around your eye area.
Moisturisers in general are made for your face and not your eyes. Eye creams are formulated with a smaller molecular structure, so they can penetrate the delicate eye tissue and not clog the pores.
