The delicate skin around the eyes has slightly different needs than the skin in the rest of the face, making it even more important to choose skin care products specially formulated for this area. You can find out more about the main benefits of using eye cream here.
Did you know that the skin around the eyes is not only the thinnest on the face, but on the entire body? There is little protective subcutaneous fat here, and the skin is constantly moving – and especially exposed to the sun’s harmful rays.
This makes the skin around the eyes more prone to rapidly developing wrinkles and visible signs of aging and fatigue – including dryness, puffiness, dark circles, dull skin and fine lines. And that’s where eye cream comes in. What does it do and why is it important?
FACTS ABOUT THE EYE CREAM
- Eye cream is a moisturizer specially formulated for use on the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Face moisturizer and eye cream should not be used indiscriminately. Always read the product description carefully and choose formulations suitable for use around the eyes.
- The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your entire body. According to research, this skin is more prone to become dry, dull and show visible signs of aging.
- Regular use of an eye cream such as Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment,can help minimize signs of aging in this area, including dryness, wrinkles, lines, puffiness and dark circles.
What does an eye cream do?
Eye creams are moisturizing skin care products developed specifically for the area around the eyes. Adding an eye cream to your daily skin care routine can make a big difference. It moisturizes and prevents dryness while helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier and making your skin smoother, fuller, and firmer. When you regularly use an eye cream as part of your skin care routine, it can also help reduce the visibility of various signs of aging around the eyes in the long term.
Can I use my face cream as an eye cream?
Although it might not seem so, eye creams and facial moisturizers are often formulated very differently, including ingredients, textures, and concentrations. As a result, facial moisturizers are rarely intended-or suitable-for use around the eyes. Always read the product description carefully to find out if your moisturizer is formulated for use on the entire face, including the eye area.
Do eye creams work?
The short and simple answer is – yes! Everyone can benefit from including an eye moisturizer in their daily skin care routine. However, it is important to choose a carefully formulated eye cream that is suitable for your skin.
Is eye cream necessary?
We recommend adding an eye cream to your skin care routine, especially if you notice visible changes in the skin around your eyes.
When should I start using the eye cream?
Eye cream is suitable for everyone, but it becomes increasingly important as we age-since we are more prone to develop dark circles, puffy eyes, fine lines and wrinkles. If in doubt, it’s never a bad idea to try an eye moisturizer.
What are the benefits of using Vessi eye cream?
There are several reasons why you should consider adding an eye moisturizer to your skin care routine. Whether you want to reduce under-eye puffiness or minimize wrinkles or visible lines, Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment helps make a difference to your skin:
1. Reduces the visibility of dark circles and puffiness
If you have puffy, tired eyes and dark circles, using an eye cream, such as Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment. can help. This non-greasy, fragrance-free eye cream absorbs quickly into the skin and can be used twice a day to minimize visible dark circles and puffiness. Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment contains caffeine, which has a constricting effect on blood vessels and can therefore reduce puffiness. It also contains a vitamin C extract from Nordic sea buckthorn berries. According to some studies, vitamin C helps lighten dark spots on the skin.
2. Provides plenty of hydration
Because research shows that the delicate skin around the eyes is more prone to dryness, it is important to moisturize it with a lightweight eye cream that works all day long. Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment does just that thanks to hyaluronic acid, the moisture bomb that absorbs water into the skin. It is also enriched with nourishing shea butter that helps maintain the skin’s protective barrier.
3. Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Several studies show that eye creams can be an effective way to smooth the skin. Because dryness in this area can make signs of aging more visible, hydration is key, along with peptides. Peptides are the skin’s Wi-Fi signal: chains of amino acids that, among other things, signal the skin to produce more collagen. When used regularly as part of your skin care routine, peptides can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in firmer, tighter skin.
Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment is a lightweight, moisturizing eye cream suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This eye cream moisturizes all day long with shea butter, hyaluronic acid, caffeine, peptides and is enriched with vitamin-rich sea buckthorn berry extract. A great eye cream that makes the eyes look more awake.
4. Safe to use
Some common moisturizers may contain ingredients in concentrations that may be a bit too strong for use around the eyes. Eye creams take this into account. For example, eye creams generally have a slightly thicker consistency than facial moisturizers for even deeper hydration. Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment is allergy-tested and contains 98 percent natural ingredients gentle to the skin around the eyes.
To take full advantage of the benefits of an eye cream requires patience and regular use. Although everyone has their own skin care routine, as a general rule, an eye cream should always be applied immediately after cleansing, in this order: cleanser, eye cream, serum and face cream.
When using Vessi Nordic Under Eye Treatment, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin, preferably in small spots around the eye area. Do not smear the cream on the skin, but use gentle upward motions to apply it until it is absorbed. Perform this every morning and evening as part of your regular skin care routine.
