The skin around the eyes is very delicate and susceptible to irritation. It is very important to take a proper care of it, use suitably selected cosmetics and do not expose it to damages unnecessarily. If you want to take care of this part of the face in a natural way, try out the creams that you can prepare yourself in the comfort of your own home.
What is harmful to your skin?
There are many factors that affect worsening of the skin around the eyes. The most common are:
- not enough sleep and problems with falling asleep,
- working at the computer or late at night,
- inappropriate care and lack of suitable hygiene,
- external factors (air pollution, free radicals),
- diet is low in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids,
- alcohol consumption and smoking,
- working in air-conditioned rooms.
How do these factors affect the skin around the eyes? They contribute to the formation of wrinkles, swellings and bruising, the skin loses its natural and healthy colour, the eyelid can become swollen and thus hooded, and the eyelashes might start falling out.
