Anti Aging Eye Creams

When using anti aging eye creams you should know that using the same moisturizer on your eye area that you use for your face usually doesn’t work very well.  A face cream is too rich for this delicate area.

Using a rich anti age eye cream can cause milia, which are small white heads, in the skin close to the eyes.  Also, a rich face cream travels and migrates around the skin, meaning it can get into your eyes and cause irritation.  The best way to get rid of milia if they haven’t gotten hard is with a salicylic acid exfoliant.  But usually by the time you can see milia, they are already hard.  In that case, have them extracted by a professional skin care technician.

If you wear contact lenses, definitely avoid applying rich anti aging eye creams to your eye area.  It can travel into your eyes and cloud your contacts, thus impairing your vision.  Rich anti ageing eye cream is often impossible to get off contact lenses.  When that happens, about all you can do is replace the dirty ones with a new one.  Also, rich creams applied near the eyelashes can clog the tear ducts and prevent proper lubrication of your eyes.

Use a product that is specifically formulated as anti ageing eye creams.  These products are designed to be light enough for the eye area, yet still deliver a high level of moisturization.  They won’t travel or migrate.  The ideal anti aging eye creams firms and energizes as well as moisturizes.  You only need to use a small amount of moisturizer–there’s not a lot of surface to cover in the eye area and just a drop or two is plenty.  Aply an eye moisturizer morning and evening as part of your daily routine maintenance.

Aply a small amount of moisturizer and a light tapping motion around the eye.  Start with the outer edge of the eye and tap the eye cream in toward the eye, being careful not to get the eye cream too close to your lashes.  Anti aging eye cream migrates and moves, so some will spread up closer to your lashes.  If some cream gets into the tear ducts along the last line, it can block important excretions, causing dry eyes and, ultimately, boils.  Tap anti aging eye creams on your upper eyelid, moving in toward the corner of your eyes.

Avoid using Retin-A in your eye socket area.  You can use it outside the eye socket toward the temples, but avoid using it any closer to the eyes. Retin-A migrates and can irritate and cause damage to your eyes.
