The eye contour area
By eye contour we mean the circular area of the eye, both the lower and the upper part, which separates the eyes from the eyebrows. This, just like the lip contour, is a very delicate area: the skin is much thinner and more sensitive. By taking care of this area, it is in fact possible to give light to the whole face and give an incredible depth and intensity to the gaze: it is essential to take care of it carefully every day also because, alas, the eye area ages faster than you think!
Just think that every day we close our eyes 10,000 times to understand how much stress is present in these parts ... it is practically inevitable that time leaves its mark here! This area of our face is subject to slower microcirculation and poor lymphatic drainage. Precisely for this reason, the most common imperfections affecting the eye area are dark circles, bags and the hated crow's feet. Before each purchase, figure out if an anti-swelling serum or anti-wrinkle cream is best for you and add only what you really need to your whislist!

A treatment suitable for bags and dark circles
With bags and dark circles, we often fight at a high price from a young age. Often there is a real constitutional predisposition to their formation. Specifically, dark circles are dark circles of a more or less intense bluish color at the base of the eye, due to a concentration of blood and lymphatic vessels. The cause can be traced to the general slowdown of the periorbital microcirculation. The situation worsens with increasing age, the epidermis becomes thinner and dark circles even more evident.
The bags are instead attributable to a stagnation of non-drained liquids, which causes that widespread swelling in the lower part of the eye contour. Sometimes, it is stress and an irregular life that cause eyelid swelling. Bursae are often combined with lack of sleep, smoking, alcohol, an unbalanced diet or eye fatigue (for example, spending too many hours on the computer). In the case of bags and dark circles, the most suitable treatment is an anti-swelling cream (or if you prefer a serum or why not, a gel) able to promote drainage with an illuminating effect. If you often have bags, buy a suitable product and also add regular cold packs to the selected treatment that bring obvious benefits and make the look more alive.
The solution for wrinkles and crow's feet
Undoubtedly, one of the most feared imperfections in the world are wrinkles in the eye contour area. We are not just talking about women: even boys have armed themselves with powerful anti-wrinkles to stop advancing age! Among other things, the phenomenon of fine lines and crow's feet on the face of women is not constant and definitive: sometimes they appear and disappear based on hormonal changes, for example they are more evident during the menstrual period. To combat these wrinkles it is important to moisturize the area around the eyes, the ideal is to choose an anti-aging eye treatment, with a preventive action, already before the age of 30 to delay the appearance of the first wrinkles as much as possible. On the web you will find excellent reviews of super light and organic products.
You can recognize the validity of the selected treatment from its formulation: the best are rich in moisturizing and nourishing active ingredients and prevent oxidation (vitamin C, vitamin E, enzymes and the ever-present snail slime). On the market you will find many and in all forms: serums, fluids, creams or gels. After selecting the right one, remember to be constant, to see the first benefits it will take at least 3 weeks.
Serum, cream or gel?
The eye contour area is an area of the face where there are no sebaceous glands: this is why to deeply hydrate this area you need a richer and more full-bodied cream that exerts a precious nourishing action. In some cases, however, when the needs are above all to drain and deflate, it is better to prefer gel or serum to the cream, a fresher formulation capable of moisturizing and refreshing. Generally the gel is the best choice in summer while creams are perfect after 50 years of age, when the skin is particularly dry or marked. The product you add to your beauty routine must be free of alcohol, petrolatum and parabens: the ideal is to focus on natural formulas (perhaps organic) with effective active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, snail slime or a product in which it is present vitamin E. Always take a look at the price (and any discount) and of course all the reviews on the web and then add your choice to your wishlist!
How to apply it right
After selecting the best eye contour for you, remember to use it consistently to fully appreciate the results. An anti-wrinkle eye cream or a draining gel should always be applied in the morning and in the evening, tapping the entire area until completely absorbed. Buy a product with an internal steel applicator, if you want to enhance the toning and draining effect!
