A core area in the heart of winter
The eye contour care is often our first anti-ageing care, which one buys when 25, when the first wrinkles (crow’s feet wrinkles, small lines under the eyes …) appear especially in this area.
Furthermore, this care is more often used in winter. Dark circles, in fact, are more visible on cold weather, a time when tiredness is on the rise. These are two reasons to issue a dedicated section to it.
A “treasure” to protect
If the radiance of the eyes goes unchanged, the skin fragility around them calls for our attention.
Thin as a membrane, naturally ill-protected (the hydrolipidic film is almost non-existent), it is more prone to dehydration, to early ageing and sagging. It is the most mobile area of our face (22 muscles - 10,000 blinking a day). Indeed, it is the most sensitive, by far (twice as many nervous fibers, and three times as many inflammatory cells -the mast cells - as on the forehead.)
Its thinness makes it more permeable; allergenic substances enter the skin more easily there. The eye contour absorbs active ingredients much faster. The speed with which a cream enters the body is at …
