“The area under our eyes is one of the thinnest and most sensitive parts of our face so it’s important to treat it with extra care. ”
Our eyes are perhaps one of the most prominent features of the face, so it’s important to keep skin hydration levels high to combat dryness. Eye creams are the best to use in order to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area over time. It's best to use an eye cream that's suitable for your skin type or problem instead of regular moisturizer. If the undereye area is kept moisturized, eye creams prevent the breakdown of collagen or elasticity, which are essential in keeping skin looking youthful and smooth. Overnight results are unlikely, so using eye creams over time as a preventative measure will yield the best results. If you begin using eye cream early and consistently, you have a better chance of having hydrated, soft, and youthful looking skin! We asked the women of Passerbuys for their favorite eye creams.
