As we age, we need to take better care of our skin because it is not as healthy and hydrated as it used to be.  There are also certain areas that need special care such as the area around the eyes because to begin with, they are very sensitive and highly susceptible to wrinkles.  Make sure to use an eye cream that is suitable to the type of skin you have around that area of your face.  The skin type in that area may match the skin on the rest of your face but in most cases it is different.  There are different skin types around the eye area—normal, mature and dehydrated.

People are very lucky because they do not have to use special products.  They can use normal eye wrinkle cream or gel for their skin as these provides normal hydration to keep the skin soft and wrinkle-free.

When your skin feels itchy and has irritations, it is a sign that it is dehydrated.  If left untreated, your skin will develop dehydration wrinkles.  Although these are not permanent, if you do not do something to rehydrate your skin, they will stay for good.  A strong hydrating eye cream will do the trick.  There are many varieties of eye wrinkle creams in the market but if you have sensitive and problematic skin, it would be better to consult a dermatologist instead of trying a new revolutionary product.

Skin dehydration is caused by several factors including heredity, not eating enough fruits, and not drinking enough water.  The use of diuretics can lead to severe dehydration.  Spending a lot of time in front of the TV or computer also causes the skin around your eyes to become dehydrated.  A good remedy for this is to sue a special eye cream for tired eyes. 

To test if your skin is dehydrated or not, you can give yourself a pinch test.  Pinch the skin around your eye and if becomes wrinkled after you let go, it means your skin is dehydrated.

The skin around the eyes can also be mature skin which is the main cause of expression wrinkles.  Mature skin decreases its elasticity and regenerates at a slower pace.  If you have mature skin around your eyes, the best thing to use is an eye wrinkle cream that has regenerating properties or one that contains retinol or caviar.  An eye cream specially formulated to increase the skin’s tonus is a very good choice because it will support the process of tissue regeneration thereby making your wrinkles less visible.

Once you find an eye wrinkle that works for you, stick with it because the skin around the eyes is sensible to changes.  To maximize the benefits of a good eye wrinkle cream, make sure to supplement it with massage and enough sleep.
