Continuing our series of educational blogs on the eye area, we are discussing the importance of skincare products. The delicate skin around our eyes requires special attention and care. While it may be tempting to rely on your usual facial skincare products for your entire face, using eye-specific skincare products is essential for maintaining the health and appearance of this sensitive area. Our Independent nurse prescriber, Sally, at Sally Wagstaff Aesthetics in Lichfield City Centre, understands the importance of tailored skincare routines, and making sure you have the right ingredients for the right skin type, so that’s why we offer Alumier skincare’s Alumineye and Retinol eye products.
The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more delicate compared to the rest of the face. It is also lacking in oil glands, making it more prone to dryness, dehydration and ultimately wrinkles, rows feet, sagging lids and bags. Standard facial skincare products, while fabulous for the face, may not provide the necessary level of care for the eye area. Alumineye and Retinol eye from Alumier skincare are specifically formulated to address the unique needs of this delicate region.
Alumineye is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye puffiness. It contains potent ingredients like peptides and antioxidants that help improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin. Retinol eye, on the other hand, harnesses the power of retinol, but in a safer, less potent formulation, to combat signs of ageing, such as crow’s feet and dark circles. These targeted eye products deliver effective results without compromising the fragile nature of the eye area.
In addition to eye-specific products, it’s important to incorporate other skincare essentials that benefit the eye area. For instance, Everactive C&E vitamin C serum works wonders in brightening and evening out skin tone. It promotes collagen synthesis, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin texture. When it comes to sun protection, don’t forget to extend it to your eyes. Using the right SPF products, specifically physical sunscreens, like those offered at Sally Wagstaff Aesthetics, safeguards your delicate eye area from harmful UV rays while hydrating and promoting skin health.
It’s worth mentioning that Sally Wagstaff herself swears by the Ultimate Boost serum, which she applies closer to the eye but avoids using directly on the eyelids. This serum provides intense hydration and nourishment to the skin without causing any irritation or sensitivity.
Remember, the eye area ages quicker than the rest of the face and has less ability to hydrate itself. Factors like squinting in sunlight can accelerate the formation of wrinkles, emphasising the need for proper eye care. Wearing sunglasses not only shields your eyes from harmful rays but also helps prevent unnecessary squinting, thereby reducing the development of fine lines. Also, don’t forget to get your eyes tested – poor vision will also cause you to squint as you try to focus!
In conclusion, using eye-specific skincare products, such as Alumineye and Retinol eye from Alumier, is vital for maintaining the health and beauty of the delicate eye area. At Sally Wagstaff Aesthetics in Lichfield City Centre, we understand the importance of treating the eyes differently, and our range of specialised eye products caters to their unique needs. From reducing signs of ageing to providing hydration and protection, these products offer the ultimate care for your eyes. Don’t neglect this crucial area—give your eyes the attention they deserve and enjoy the radiant results!
