When it comes to skin care, most of us fall into one of 2 categories. There are those of us, who never change our routine, using the same ill-suited eye cream from our old days. Then there’s the other group, who embrace treatments like chemical peels and Botox before there’s a wrinkle in sight.
The skin on our eye contour zone is 3x thinner than the rest of our face and produces very little collagen, meaning it tends to dry out. It is extremely thin, fragile and quick to show signs of aging. It needs tender, loving care — done of course, in the right way!
Mario Badescu once said: “Every man or woman over the age of 21 should apply an eye cream in the morning and in the evening, as part of the daily routine. There are no exceptions.”
As we age, our skin changes. What worked in our 20s won’t do us any favors in our 30s — or 40s. With hundreds of variations around, it can be hard to find a correct one for your needs. If you get the wrong formula, you may be disappointed by the results! If the goal is to maintain youthful eyes well into our golden years, and look just as flawless every decade in between, we need to tailor our products to the number of candles on our birthday cake.
