Are Eye Creams Necessary?

If you have been wondering if you should use an eye cream then it depends on a number of factors. If you have specific concerns about the appearance of your eyes, then you should consider using an eye cream. For example, if you are worried about wrinkles, dark circles, dehydration or puffiness, then an eye cream with anti-ageing properties is an excellent choice. If you value how the skin around your eyes looks then we recommend using a good natural anti-ageing eye cream like the one in our Nakin face products collection. This will help to improve the look of premature skin ageing, and help to preserve the skin around the eyes to look better for longer. 

Are Eye Creams Necessary?

The skin around the eyes is delicate, and as we age, it can become thinner and more susceptible to damage. Eye creams can help to protect skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Most good eye creams like Nakin’s Natural Anti-Ageing Eye Cream Complex contain ingredients that help to hydrate and nourish the skin, such as hyaluronic acid and peptides. These work to plump up skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Other common ingredients include antioxidants, which can help to protect the skin from damage; for synthetic eye creams retinoids are common as they can stimulate collagen production and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

When choosing an eye cream, it is important to select one that has lots of great ingredients to boost and enhance the skin around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to dryness, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing. If you are looking for a good eye product then Nakin have a lovely natural one, which is our Nakin Eye Cream Complex. It contains a unique blend of ingredients that help to hydrate and nourish the skin, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Nakin's Eye Cream Complex includes both hyaluronic acid and a hibiscus peptide, which are two powerful ingredients that help to keep the skin smooth and hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. The hibiscus that we use is a form of natural peptide that helps to instantly smooth out lines and crow’s feet. There is also lots of additional antioxidant and omega ingredients that brighten the skin and reduce inflammation. Better still is that our Eye Cream Complex is filled with beautiful natural ingredients and is free from unwanted cosmetic ingredients such as parabens, retinol, PEGs, silicones, artificial fragrance and colour.

Even if you do not have any specific concerns about your eyes, you should take care if you are using a regular facial moisturiser instead of an eye cream. Many people think that moisturisers can be used around the eyes and there is no need to invest in a separate product. However, a regular face cream will be too rich for the delicate thinner skin around the eyes, so it could be too weighty. Instead, a good eye cream like our Natural Anti-Ageing Eye Cream has a light springy formula, it is packed with hydration and nourishment, but without weighing the skin around eyes down.

Why Eye Creams are a Recommended Necessary in Your Skin Routine

Adding an eye cream to your skincare routine is often recommended due to the delicate nature of the skin around the eyes. This area is thinner and more prone to showing signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. Eye creams like ours are specifically formulated to address these concerns with targeted ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, peptides to boost collagen, and caffeine to reduce puffiness. Incorporating an eye cream can not only diminish visible signs of fatigue but also protect and nourish this sensitive area, helping to maintain a youthful and refreshed appearance over time. 

Some common ingredients found in eye creams include retinol, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Vitamin C is another potent antioxidant that can brighten the skin and reduce dark circles. Both of these are synthetic ingredients which can cause irritation, and so we recommend avoiding them in favour of natural options like our natural anti-ageing face products.

When it comes to choosing an eye cream, it's important to consider the consistency, and we always recommend a lightweight formula over a heavy cream, that might drag the skin down and not penetrate the skin cells enough. 

It's also essential to use eye cream correctly for maximum benefits. Apply a small amount using your ring finger and gently pat it around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Be careful not to tug or pull at the delicate skin, as this can cause further damage. Consistency is key with any skincare product, so be sure to use your eye cream twice daily for best results.

In addition to using an eye cream, there are other steps you can take to maintain healthy and youthful-looking eyes. Getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and wearing sunglasses when exposed to sunlight can all contribute to keeping the delicate skin around your eyes looking its best.

Whether or not you use an eye cream is a personal decision. We recommend it as part of your daily skin care routine if you want to give skin the best hydration and anti-ageing protection. Dermatologists or cosmetologists will agree with this, as long as the eye cream is high quality. At Nakin we have a complete collection of face care, and you can find out more about us below.
