Did you know that the skin around the eye is much thinner and has less oil glands than the rest of the face? The elastin and collagen breaks down faster than in other areas, and there are approximately 22 muscles working any time you make an expression. This constant activity creates creases earlier than on other parts of the face. Because the skin is thinner and drier it is more susceptible to dehydration and irritation. Even the salt in tears can dry out skin if you shed them enough.
A common question asked by skincare professionals and their clients is, 'Do I really need a specialized product for the eye area?' Some believe that your face serum or moisturizer is more than appropriate for use around the eye area, as long as the skin (and oil production) around your eyes is the same or consistent as that of your face.
Puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles - these pesky issues seem to always arise when describing the delicate eye area as we age. Because the tissue surrounding the eyes is so fragile, it’s important to treat this area with products that support and maintain the youthfulness of surrounding cells like the all-new Cyto-luxe Eye Serum. Cyto-luxe Eye Serum is an innovative, silky serum that glides onto skin to smooth and soften fine lines. This powerful serum helps slow the aging process by supporting the cells that maintain skin’s youthfulness while also reducing puffiness and dark circles.
