Eyes are one of the most delicate parts of the body. We always pay extra attention to our eyes from the health perspective. Due to a busy schedule, use of gadgets, pollution, and external factors, we can face several issues like dry eyes, irritation, and redness which should not be ignored. Actual eyes problems are treated with the use of glasses, lenses, sunglasses or medicines and eye-drops. It is also important to pay attention to the skin surrounding the eyes. The reason is that this skin is very sensitive, and needs extra care. Undereye creams are some products which can take care of the sensitive skin around your eyes.

Benefits of using eye creams

Anti-aging capabilities
Undereye creams help in taking care of the skin surrounding the eyes. This skin is quite sensitive and prone to wrinkles, dark circles, and fine lines. Undereye creams nourish the skin surrounding the eyes, keep it hydrated, and reduce dullness.

Protection from sunlight
Undereye creams come with a sun protection factor (SPF). It is recommended to select a cream with SPF 30 for daytime use. Some variants of eye creams have hydroquinone and its derivatives which can help with age spots or pigmentation. It is preferable to pick creams that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Sun exposure can result in puffy eyelids, sagging skin, and dark circles along with pigmentation. If you do not use protective measures, the problem will get worse with time. If your eye cream does not have sun protection, you can apply concealer or foundation with SPF 30 or higher over your eye cream. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist before selecting any such creams.

Moisturizes skin
The skin under the eyes is delicate and sensitive, and so, it is a must to moisturize it. Although some active ingredients in the undereye creams could moisturize the skin, their doses are quite low. So, it is best to pick a product which can moisturize the skin. The thin skin under the eyes absorb the cream better, and undereye creams come with specially formulated ingredients that are efficient at hydrating the skin.

Sagging skin
If a person faces the problem of sagging skin or wrinkles, then they should opt for undereye creams. The cream makes the skin a little tighter and firmer, but it is important to know that it will not treat sagging skin entirely.

Precautions
While picking an undereye cream, one should always check the packaging first. Check if the packaging is light proof and airtight because if these products are exposed to air and light, its effectiveness will get reduced. While applying eye creams or under eye creams, you need to follow basic hygiene measures.

• Do not let the product enter the eyes as it could cause damage
• It is a good practice to wash the face before applying the cream
• Do not transfer the product into bowls or pots before application
