Different Ways to Care for the Skin Around Your Eyes
While you might wish it weren’t so, the skin around your eyes is one part of your body that can show the earliest signs of premature aging, particularly without proper care.
But have you ever wondered why?
First, the skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on other parts of your body. And because your eyes work a lot throughout the day, from blinking to expressing your emotions, this alone can cause premature aging.
Moreover, genetic reasons, ultraviolet (UV) rays, external stressors, and lifestyle choices can also cause the skin around the eyes to age more quickly.
Yet no matter how old you are, it’s never too early or too late to give your eyes the love they deserve.
Common Eye Area Issues

Moisturize,
Moisturize,
Moisturize!
Moisturizing your skin is one of those underrated steps that often falls by the wayside but shouldn’t. Imagine our skin as a grape. When it loses water, it starts to shrink, and wrinkles can appear.
But once you put that water back in, it can help plump up and potentially reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The same applies for our eye area. Since they lack oil glands (our skin’s natural moisturizer), they can be more prone to dryness.
Moisturise the skin with Skin Booters. Skin Booster treatment involve in injecting Hyaluronic Acid directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin). This nourishes and rejuvenates the skin by promoting the production of collagen and elastin and stimulates your skin’s metabolism.
Treatment for Fine Lines
1. Botox for crow’s feet can smoothen out lines and wrinkles giving you a young and refreshed appearance.
2. Radiance facial with Venus Viva is a radio frequency skin tightening procedure that will improve fine lines temporarily. You may need 6 to 8 sessions on a weekly interval.
Treatment for Hyperpigmentation (dark circles)

Treatment for Puffiness
There are two options for under-eye puffiness.
1. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU Ultraformer III, is an advanced method for treating bags under the eyes.
2. Dermal fillers can help smoothen the area thereby improving the appearance of tear troughs as well as under eye bags.
Sun protection is a must
A broad-spectrum sunscreen is truly an indispensable part of any skin care routine and should be applied every day. Even if it looks gloomy outside, UVA rays can still cause damage.
