After 40, it is necessary to dedicate special attention to the eye contour in your facial routine, to maintain its elasticity, firmness and luminosity. Are you ready to discover the secrets of a radiant and rejuvenated eye contour?

The eye contour is a particularly delicate region that requires specific attention in facial care. Its particular characteristics make this area unique and requires a special approach in skin care.

WHY IS THE EYE CONTOUR SO DELICATE?

VERY THIN SKIN

The skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face. It is only 0.5 mm , while other parts of the face are 2 mm. This thinness makes it more fragile against damage from external agents, dehydration , as well as the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines .

LESS SEBACEOUS GLANDS

Compared to other areas of the skin, the eye area has fewer sebaceous glands , so it produces less natural oil and needs more hydration and protection, even if you have oily skin. This lack of natural lubrication makes the skin more prone to dryness and irritation .

LESS COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN

Collagen and elastin are essential proteins for maintaining the firmness, elasticity and structure of the skin. However, the eye area contains less than other parts of the face.

From the age of 40, the eye area undergoes a series of physiological changes that make it more vulnerable to signs of aging. It is very important to adopt a skin care routine specifically designed for this area, which includes hydrating, antioxidant and repairing ingredients.

GREATER SENSITIVITY

The skin around the eyes is sensitive and easily irritated by the sun , wind , cold , and chemicals in cosmetics. Even if the skin is healthy, irritation and inflammation in this area is common if inappropriate products or aggressive skin care techniques are used.

FLUID RETENTION

Due to a lack of lymphatic drainage , the eye area is prone to fluid retention , which can cause puffiness and bags under the eyes. This problem can be aggravated by stress , lack of sleep , and excessive salt consumption.

It is important to use gentle and specific products for this area. It is also important to have healthy lifestyle habits. This will help you look young and radiant.

THE PASSAGE OF TIME AND THE EYE CONTOUR

After the age of 40 , the eye area becomes even more vulnerable . The natural aging process and hormonal changes are responsible.

EVEN FURTHER DECREASES THE PRODUCTION OF COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN

With the aging process, the production of collagen and elastin slows down. The eye contour loses its ability to remain smooth and resistant. Skin aging is accelerated and wrinkles , sagging and loss of definition appear.

LESS NATURAL HYDRATION

Over time, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases and also its ability to retain moisture. The eye area becomes drier and dehydrated, accelerating the appearance of fine lines , expression lines, wrinkles and crow's feet .

MORE FRAGILE SKIN

Over time, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and more fragile, making it more vulnerable to damage caused by the sun , oxidative stress and harsh cosmetic products. This increased fragility can increase sensitivity, irritation and inflammation.

ACCUMULATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

Cumulative exposure to environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation , pollution and free radicals can cause damage to the skin around the eyes. This damage alters the surface of the skin and can manifest itself in the form of dark spots , irregular pigmentation and loss of luminosity , which contributes to premature aging.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYE CONTOUR?

GENTLE FACIAL CLEANSING

Use a gentle facial cleanser that gently removes makeup and impurities without irritating delicate skin.

Cleaning is also essential so that the skin is prepared to fully receive the benefits of the active ingredients in your cosmetics.

INTENSE HYDRATION

Apply a specific moisturizing cream for the eye area daily, rich in antioxidants and moisturizing agents such as hyaluronic acid . These ingredients will help fill in wrinkles, improve firmness, protect the skin and combat the signs of aging.

SOLAR PROTECTION

Don't forget to apply sunscreen around your eyes every day, even on cloudy days. Unprotected sun exposure can accelerate skin aging and cause spots and wrinkles to appear.

FACIAL MASSAGES

Perform gentle circular massages around the eyes to improve the activity of blood vessels , reduce puffiness, improve the absorption of skin care products and therefore, better combat dark circles and bags .

REST AND HEALTHY EATING

Take care of your lifestyle, get enough sleep and follow a balanced diet rich in fruits , vegetables and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids to keep your skin young and nourished from the inside.

THE POWER OF HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid is a star ingredient after the age of 40, essential in eye contour creams.

Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin deeply, filling wrinkles and fine lines from within thanks to its ability to retain a lot of water. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, which improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin around the eyes.

You will find it in the OhMyKoko Eye Contour Serum . This serum combines moisturizing hyaluronic acid with Oligopeptide 2 with redensifying action. It is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Remember to clean your face first. OhMyKoko's daily exfoliating facial cleansing gel will greatly simplify your life: it cleanses , removes makeup and exfoliates your skin, removing dead cells with the greatest gentleness, leaving your skin prepared and ready to make the most of the active ingredients of the eye contour serum.
