There’s a reason so many personal care and skincare products are focused on moisturizing, soothing, and treating our eyes. The eyes reflect when we’re joyous, upset, angry, and surprised. Since the thin skin surrounding them doesn’t produce oil like the rest of our face, the eye area is prone to reflect signs of aging before other parts of the face and neck.
Eyes are super responsive and as such respond to various environmental triggers and emotional stressors. The surrounding area is also packed with blood vessels that can create a dark circle appearance, making the eyes look tired and aged. Lines around the eyes, colloquially known as crow’s feet, are a normal part of aging. Many people quickly turn to surgical means, botox, or pricey light therapies. However, preventative measures that naturally mitigate early development of crow’s feet can be added to any skincare routine.
