Let's be kind to our eye area

The eye area is a very delicate part of our face. The skin here is up to 4 times thinner than in other parts of the face and it is also a place that gets a lot of work every day. There are no sebaceous glands here, which is why the skin loses more elasticity and hydration.

Dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles and puffiness are the most common problems. We may not even be aware of it, but the eye area is working: we tense our facial muscles, we blink. And of course, there are external factors that affect the quality of our skin: ultraviolet radiation, stress, our lifestyle (lots of sugar, smoking, alcohol), sleep quality (or lack thereof), air pollution, temperature fluctuations.

Genetics and age also have an impact on the skin of the eye area - and prevention is also important, i.e., regardless of age, eye care should not be neglected in relation to the reasons above. The skin reacts to all these factors by a decrease in hydration, which leads to a loss of skin firmness and wrinkles, as well as poor circulation of lymph - this affects the formation of bags and dark circles.

Care effective and gentle at the same time

Overly thick oils should be avoided, as well as creams that are poorly absorbed. The eye area should be cared for regularly and only with products that are light, well absorbed, can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and, of course, must not irritate the eyes and their surroundings. The ideal is a product that can comprehensively address both hydration and sufficient blood supply. SMYSSLY's new Complex Eye Care is the ideal solution.

It is a lightweight, deeply hydrating emulsion that brightens the skin without weighing it down and can reduce dark circles beautifully with regular use. It is a product that contains extremely effective ingredients.

Cernilys® is a unique ingredient extracted from the Atlantic cedar tree. It stimulates microcirculation, increasing blood and lymph flow, which helps to eliminate bluish circles and bags. Clinical studies of this unique ingredient show that it can reduce circles and bags by 35%. In addition, it reduces the accumulation of hemoglobin and the formation of red veins.

Another important ingredient is peptides, which support the skin's defenses and relieve irritation. There is also a wax derived from jojoba oil, which helps reduce redness and deep hydration.

And there are also luxurious natural and highly functional oils: from camellia japonica and sunflower oil. At first glance, the latter may seem very ordinary, but its functional abilities are ideal for the eye area: it is similar in structure to the lipids of the skin tissue and can quickly penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis, where it acts as a functional antioxidant - protecting the skin against loss of firmness and elasticity. In addition, it is gentle and anti-inflammatory.

There are so many reasons to try this little natural miracle. Starting to take care of your eye area is a favor we do ourselves and our skin. And it won't be out of place to supplement appropriate beauty care with plenty of water, herbal tea and the occasional walk outside. As you can see from our cosmetics, nature can work small miracles.
