I just want to start out by explaining something first - If we were to compare the skin on our face to the skin on our body, it would be like comparing a paper bag to news paper. They are both made out of paper (skin), but the news paper (face) is more delicate than the bag (body). So... they are the same, yet they are completely different. Therefor, they have different needs. It defiantly makes more sense why it is so important to use a face soaps and creams on the face, and body wash and lotions only on the body.
Same goes for the skin around our eyes. Using the same comparison, the skin around our eyes is more like tissue paper - thin and delicate. That is why you need a proper moisturizer for the eye area, heavy enough to help diminish and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, with ingredients to help remove dark circles and puffiness, yet, not too heavy that it will clog the delicate pores around the eyes.
If you take a close look, you might notice little white bumps under your eyes, and sometimes even around the eyelids. These white bumps are called Millia, the result of product clogging the delicate pores. This can be from using your face cream too close to the eyes, or even forgetting to remove your makeup before you go to bed at night.
There are many different kinds of eye treatments, that can help decrease the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness including creams, masks, pads, gels, and serums. You can easily find one to suit your needs, but always be sure to read the ingredients before purchasing. You don't want harsh chemicals that close to your eyes!
When applying your eye treatment of choice, you will only need a small bead of product on the tip of your ring or pinky finger - no larger than a small pea. Press the product onto your other pinky or ring finger, so that you have 2 fingers with an equal amount of product on them. Dab the product onto your skin, starting at the inner eye, and following the bone that circles around it. The movement of your eye will draw the product in towards the lids. You do not want to apply the product directly to the lids, because it may burn or irritate your eyes.
Like eye treatments, there are many different Lip treatments. Some are balms, ointments, masks, serums, and even scrubs! Although it may be obvious to most of us to wear lip protection in the winter so that our lips don't get chapped, it is equally important to wear lip protection in the sunny months as well. Lip products contain nourishing oils and ingredients such as SPF's which will keep them looking young and supple, all year long.
