Rescuing paper thin eye skin
July 22nd 2008 09:35
When you have skin around the eye area that’s paper thin, it’s hard to get it looking rested and smooth especially in winter and if you work in air conditioned environments. Air conditioners really dry this part of my face to the point where it feels tight and uncomfortable so I’ve resorted to moisturising it throughout the day at least once.
You may be thinking this is impractical if you’re wearing make-up or concealer on your eyes. I thought that too until I tried. Just before I head for my lunch break I dab some eye cream around the top part of my cheeks and around the eye on top of any concealer or blush I may have on – and the cream does go in and it doesn’t smudge the make-up. The trick is to dab though not rub or force in - just dab and your thirsty skin will do the rest by sucking it up itself!
The benefit is that your giving your skin some much needed moisture and further protecting it from the air con. I bought an inexpensive Nivea eye cream – it’s moisture that your skin needs during the day so nothing fancy is necessary – that I now carry in my make-up purse. It’s a great way to give yourself a little pep during the day and save you from looking like a chicken’s feet trampled over your cheekbones.
