Do you really need an eye cream?

Why not just use moisturizer as an eye cream? Or maybe just skip this step in general? Is eye cream actually necessary? This debate constantly comes up when mentioning eye creams so we will try to look further into it to leave you with no doubts. 

Isn’t a face cream just enough?

Maybe you’ve heard about eye cream being referred to as an “expensive moisturizer”. While some skips of our skincare routine are necessary and unskippable, many consider this one as an additional expense.

Should you then just use a face cream instead of an actual eye cream? The skin around the eye area is much more gentle and delicate than anywhere else on the face, which means it might need additional care. While applying face cream might not do any harm, it’s unlikely to deal with dark circles, prevent wrinkles and increase firmness. The eye area is especially likely to develop wrinkles, but a good eye cream can not only prevent those but also smile lines. Also, eye creams are made to prevent any irritation as that area is especially gentle, while face creams tend to be thicker and might be too overwhelming to put there. 

What about dark circles then? Of course, some people naturally develop them due to genetics and it might be better to try to find an efficient way to conceal them. However, if you’re dealing with strongly visible blood vessels eye cream will surely solve this issue! 

Also you might think you don’t need to care about wrinkles or weak skin if you’re still young, but adding eye cream to your skincare routine early will help you prevent those skin problems in the future! Of course, there is no magical product that would completely stop these but it will surely keep your skin and youthful for much longer. 

Magic potion for eyes… or maybe not really

If you’re expecting eye creams to do wonders to your eyes because you’re struggling to fix your sleep schedule or constantly avoid implementing the habit of drinking more water, we have to disappoint you a bit. While eye creams can prevent wrinkles, moisturize the skin and make it firmer, even the best one cannot  fight the issue coming from an unhealthy lifestyle. Moreover, to see the actual results you need to apply the product everyday and be patient to wait even weeks before noticing changes.
