Mum used to always tell me, I can only be as good and bright as the people I surround myself with. But little did I know that this would transfer to other things as well. Just like you are defined by the people around you, the sparkle in your eyes comes from the space around them. The child-like wonder we all adore in people is not because their literal eyes are glowing or shiny; it’s the skin around the eyes that is radiant enough to reflect the illumination. So, when you look in the mirror and feel sad that your eyes don’t look as bright as they used to, it’s the skin around them that’s causing that. Here’s a guide to help restore and repair your under-eye region, wrinkly and saggy skin, to rejuvenate your mirrors to your soul.
What Makes Your Eyes Look Dull
These are some of the skin concerns that make your eyes look dull.
Under Eye Bags
If you are a working professional and a city girl like me, your eyes are constantly being stimulated with light, screens, dust, pollution, and even the occasional (read: frequent) sleepless nights. This leads to your eyes not getting the proper rest they need and thus sucking the moisture out from your under-eyes. This causes your skin under your eyes to lose moisture and create deep bags of saggy skin. This leads to you having raccoon eyes, making you look older than you are.
Wrinkles Around The Eyes
Wrinkles appear on the skin because our skin expands and retracts every time we stretch it, and given how expressive our eyes are, there is always extra skin around the eyes that forms into fine lines and wrinkles because our skin produces less and less collagen to restore moisture.
Puffiness
Due to a lack of moisture and slower skin cell regeneration, the skin around the eyes starts puffing up, which makes the eyes appear smaller and tired. Reduce inflammation around the eyes to make your eyes look rejuvenated.
Ingredients For Proper Under Eye Care
The main reason your eyes look dull, tired, and lifeless is that they lack moisture as you grow older. The speed at which your skin regenerates itself also becomes slower, and thus you need ingredients that promote cell regeneration, collagen boosting, and one that repairs the skin barrier. The following ingredients will help your skin with hydration and collagen repair, and brightness.
- Niacinaminde
- Glycolic Acid
- Retinol
- Collagen
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Peptides
- Ceramides
- Caffeine
