Caring for sensitive under-eye skin

Your eyes can be your biggest beauty asset. However, the delicate skin under your eyes can be one of the first places to show signs of ageing as well as stress and fatigue. A few simple techniques can help you glow with youth.

Why does under-eye skin require special care?

Skin under the eyes is much thinner than skin on the rest of the face and more sensitive to harsh chemicals, UV rays, and the environment. It also thins faster than other skin. Because thin skin loses its elasticity more quickly, the skin under the eyes is one of the first places to show signs of ageing. As a result, under-eye contour requires particular care and attention.

Reduce eye puffiness and swelling

Apply a  cool compress. You want something that is cool to the touch but not overly cold. Lie down on your back and cover your eyes with cool wet tea bags or cucumber slices, which contain antioxidants that reduce irritation.
Calm tired, puffy eyes with a Chamomile tea remedy. Boil chamomile flowers with purified tap water. Strain and put the tea in the refrigerator until cold. Soak cotton wool pads in the cooled tea and place over the eye area for 15 minutes while lying down to sooth the eyes.
Apply a cool spoon. To quickly reduce swelling, gently massage the under eye area with a spoon cooled in the freezer.
