The delicate skin around your eyes is ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. As we age, skin loses its elasticity and becomes even thinner due to a breakdown of collagen. So the area around your eyes is one of the first areas of your face that can show signs of aging; there are no sebaceous glands or fatty tissue around the eye area, so it is especially susceptible to stress from the everyday facial expressions like smiling and squinting that cause wrinkles to develop.
Thankfully here at enhanceskin we can offer you solutions that will turn back the clock on this area, reversing those tell-tale signs of aging so you look and feel great!
Product Solutions
PCA SKIN EyeXcellence – This preventative product is best used by those under thirty years old… It’s a triple-action eye cream that reduces puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles around the eye area. It has a combination of three peptides which increase collagen production, capillary function and circulation to leave the eye area smooth, even and bright. This eye cream also has moisturising properties that leave skin healthy and hydrated.
Ideal Complex: Revitalizing Eye Gel – A hypoallergenic, anti-aging eye product that strengthens, firms and lifts the skin around the entire eye area. This unique formulation utilises the latest science, combining proven ingredients in a single formulation that can be applied directly to all areas around the eye, including the eyelid, to treat all the common concerns of the aging eye area and achieve dramatic results rapidly.
Results RX Eye Doctor – We consider this the Rolls Royce of eye care products. It’s a liquid crystal eye serum and the ultimate combination of AGP Complex and cococin, that reduces the appearance of fine lines and puffy eyes. Although this is definitely an investment product, it should last you 6-9 months; use a very small amount, warm up the product by massaging between the fingers and then press into the delicate eye area.
Treatment Solutions
Botox – Botox is a natural purified protein which blocks the signals from the nerves to halt the repeated contracting of the facial muscles that cause crows feet.
Dermal Fillers – The hollows under the eyes from lost volume can be corrected by fillers. Crows feet can be treated with Fillers alone or combined with Botox.
Helping Yourself
- Take care when removing or applying make up, or applying eye products, not to pull or tug at the delicate area around your eyes.
- Wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
- Always, (yes always) wear sunscreen!
- Get an eye exam, if you’re straining to see, you will be squinting.
- Stop smoking – The facial expressions created when you smoke causes the skin on your face to pull and causes wrinkles, and nicotine destroys collagen and elastin. If you’re in a smoky environment you’re also more likely to squint.
