Explained
The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the 
rest of the face which is why using an eye cream is 
important. If a cream is too thick, it can cause the 
area to become puffy. We all have different concerns 
when it comes to the eyes so here’s a few tips on 
how to treat the three most common ones.
Lines and wrinkles – 
The Cause
The eye area is usually the first area to show lines and wrinkles. The two 
main reasons for this are that the epidermis is around 5 times thinner 
around the eyes than the face, meaning it is much more delicate and 
subject to damage. Secondly the eyes are subject to continuous muscle 
contractions (we blink around 20,000 times a day on average) causing 
expression lines.
What to look for in an Eye Cream
When choosing your eye product for lines and wrinkles, look for 
ingredients that work to boost collagen and elastin production within the 
skin. Note this is different to ingredients that contain collagen. It’s very 
difficult to create collagen in a molecule small enough to penetrate the 
skin. It’s the production of collagen and elastin that will help to reinforce 
the fibrous tissue and in turn plump out lines and wrinkles.
Tip
Lines and wrinkles can also be 
caused by dehydration (inside 
and out) so make sure you’re 
drinking enough water as well 
as using an eye cream that 
hydrates the skin.
Our recommendation: 
Anti-wrinkle Eye Duo
Bags, puffiness and dark circles
The Cause
Bags, puffiness and dark circles are most commonly caused by poor 
circulation around the eye area. When we’re tired or stressed, 
sympathetic nerves are activated which constrict the blood vessels. This 
slows down blood circulation causing it to build up underneath the eyes 
and make the skin appear dark.
What to look for in an Eye Cream
Ingredients that stimulate micro-circulation are essential for helping to 
improve the problem long term.
Tip
Keep a spoon in the freezer 
with cling film wrapped around 
it. When your eye area flares 
up, take it out, unwrap the 
cling film and place the spoon 
on the eye area. This is great 
for when you wake up with 
puffy eyes.
Our Recommendation: 
Repair Progress Eye Serum Or 
Hydrating Vitamin C Eye Crea
m
Loose and Sagging Skin
Unfortunately our skin is constantly in a battle with gravity and as we 
age features start to sag. When the skin’s support structure becomes 
weak the eyelids start to sag causing hooded eye lids and loss of 
definition of the features.
What to look for in an Eye Cream
Look for an eye cream that works to rebuild the skin’s support structure 
in order to help lift and volumise the skin. Products that target the whole 
eye area including the eye lids (rather than just underneath) will also 
give you much more noticeable results.
Tip
When applying eye cream, 
avoid dragging the skin or 
rubbing in the product as 
this damaging the skin and 
causes further sagging. 
Apply with your ring finger 
by gently tapping the 
cream around the eye 
socket.
Our Recommendation: 
Firming Eye Contour Cream
