EYE AREA
The eyes are a common area of concern in skincare. Often associated with signs of aging, the eyes are also an area where people tend to focus their attention. Fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, or tired-looking eyes are consequently a high priority for many people.
Although fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of aging skin, it is not uncommon for these to appear around the eye area first, this is due to the skin around the eye being very thin. The skin around the eyes also does not have the same type of oil-secreting glands in the skin around the eye which is why it is very common for individuals to experience dry skin around the eye more than anywhere else on the face or body.
Other causes for fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles around the eyes are: sun damage, smiling, lack of sleep & sleeping position as well as smoking and squinting.
The eye area is traditionally the hardest to treat, but there have been a lot of advances in recent years. The best prevention is again is using a daily SPF, general skincare, a well balanced diet, not smoking, enusring adequate sleep & wearing sunglasses to prevent squinting.
If you are concerned about the eye area, please get in touch as a face-to-face consultation is the best way to assess which treatments will be mores suitable.
