The eye area is one of the most disturbing for anyone. From the dreaded crow’s feet to swelling and ending with dark circles under the eyes which, as Estefanía Nieto, technical director of Omorovicza, explains: “They are usually difficult to treat, because it normally responds to the fact that the skin is thinner and more transparent ” . Add to this the damage they incur from solar radiation and direct contact with salt water from the sea and chlorine from swimming pools, then it is very important to pay attention to this part of the face at the end of the day.
The skin around the eyes, yes, that part of the face that we so often highlight when we gesture with the sunshine (no matter how many sunglasses are used), unlike the rest of the face, has some specific features that make it particularly delicate. “As seen with the naked eye and when touched, it is much thinner, specifically five times thinner than the rest of the face, giving it a lower supply of collagen and elastin and a lower number of sebaceous glands. elasticity but at the same time makes it a much more sensitive area because it has a pH value of 6-7, above the pH of the rest of the face at 5.5, this pH can be influenced by substances in contact with the skin”, explains Ana Yuste, technical director of Aromatherapy Associates. Which raises the question, why does an after-sun for the face not solve the same as a specific product for the contour? Well, “because those pH levels are not designed for that area and on top of that it can actually irritate it by stressing it with a lower pH,” the expert concludes.
To solve this summer beauty need, you can use this eye after-sun, packed with important cosmetic active ingredients to give your eyes a healthy appearance.
