How to Treat Dry Skin Around Your Eyes
Ever caught yourself in the mirror and thought, "Why is the skin around my eyes so dry and flaky?" You're not alone. The delicate skin around our eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of our face, making it prone to dryness, especially during colder months or due to environmental factors .
But fear not! With the right care and products, you can restore moisture and vitality to this sensitive area. Let's delve into the causes, treatments, and how BeLogical's affordable skincare range can help you achieve hydrated, healthy-looking eyes.
Understanding the Causes of Dry Under-Eye Skin
Before we jump into solutions, it's essential to understand what's causing that dryness:
-
Environmental Factors: Cold weather, low humidity, and wind can strip moisture from the skin.
-
Aging: As we age, our skin produces less oil, leading to dryness.
-
Allergies and Irritants: Certain skincare products or allergens can cause irritation and dryness.
-
Medical Conditions: Conditions like eczema or blepharitis can lead to dry, flaky skin around the eyes .
How to Moisturize Dry Skin Under Eyes
Moisturizing is crucial for treating and preventing dryness. Here's how to do it effectively:
-
Choose the Right Product: Opt for eye creams specifically formulated for dryness. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin are excellent for hydration.
-
Gentle Application: Use your ring finger to apply the cream, as it exerts the least pressure. Gently tap the product around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes.
-
Consistency is Key: Apply your eye cream twice daily—morning and night—for optimal results.
Best Eye Creams for Dryness
When selecting an eye cream, look for products that are hydrating, gentle, and free from irritants. Some top-rated options include:
-
Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream: Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it's designed for all skin types and provides 24-hour hydration.
-
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream: Contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin's barrier and retain moisture.
These products are known for their effectiveness in treating dry, flaky skin around the eyes.

How to Fix Dry Skin Near Eyes

Limit Screen Time: Prolonged exposure to screens can strain your eyes and contribute to dryness.

Eye-Safe Moisturizers for Sensitive Skin
For those with sensitive skin, it's essential to choose eye-safe moisturizers that are hypoallergenic and free from potential irritants. Look for products labeled as suitable for sensitive skin and ophthalmologist-tested.
Under-Eye Care for Winter Dryness
Winter can be particularly harsh on the skin. To combat under-eye dryness during colder months:

Layer Your Skincare: Use a hydrating serum followed by a rich eye cream to lock in moisture.
