There is a myth that if a person starts using a firming eye cream (an anti-aging product), their skin will develop wrinkles more quickly and they will be dependent on the product. The problem is that the skin around the eye area is very delicate.
You cannot apply regular moisturizers around the eye because it is too thin. The only products you should use around the eye area are ones that specify that they are safe for that. If the product doesn’t say it, don’t use it there!
When should you use a firming eye cream? Most people would benefit from using a firming eye cream as early as their 20’s as a preventative to wrinkles. If you can prevent those eye wrinkles from forming deeply, then you will be ahead of the anti-aging game.
Most eye creams are anti-aging and may be more expensive. If you are younger and just want the moisture benefit, there are some gels and other eye creams that are less expensive and will provide this benefit for you.
While you’re already concerned for your skin’s appearance, be sure to use a good skin care program designed for your skin type. You may need to add more products to your skin care program if you have extra special needs (such as extra-oily or extra-dry skin). A good skin program will have a cleanser, exfoliator, freshener (toner), and moisturizer. Always use your firming eye creams after you clean, exfoliate, and freshen your face.
Be sure to use sunscreen daily with a minimum SPF 15, avoiding the delicate eye area. Remember, adding an eye wrinkle cream sooner than later will help prevent severe wrinkles and keep your skin looking young.
