We need to look after our eyes. Over time, our eyes can become dry, irritated and tired. Not only do these factors affect the appearance of our eyes, but those who suffer from eye fatigue can also be very uncomfortable.
Looking after your eyes should be just as important as any other part of your body such as your hair and nails. Often, we treat our face with serums and moisturisers that require avoiding the eye area, but then we don’t use anything to soothe, nourish and protect our eyes. We’ve put together our favourite eye care products by skin type, so you can keep your eyes healthy and bright.
Dull, Dark and Faded Eyes
If your eyes have lost their sparkle, don’t fear as you can revive your once bright-coloured irises. The Andalou Luminous Eye Serum is formulated with brightening Vitamin C and awakening Green Coffee extract to restore your eyes' natural glow. Apply twice a day, once to freshen you up in the morning and again before bed to aid your beauty sleep.
Dry and Tight Eyes
Sometimes our eyes become tight or dry from straining or air-conned office buildings. The Dr. Hauschka Daily Hydrating Eye Cream can help relieve dry eyes through moisture-rich extracts and oils that nourish and refines the delicate skin around the eyes. It can also help minimise fine lines and wrinkles.
The Andalou 1000 Roses Eye Revive Contour Gel with Alpine Rose stem cells and Hyaluronic Acid hydrates and soothes delicate and tight eye areas, uplifting visibly puffy and dry eyes. Apply morning and night for best results.
Sensitive and Delicate Eyes
Tired eyes can cause them to feel highly sensitive, sore and delicate to touch. Using a lightweight formula such as the CeraVe Eye Repair Cream moisturises sensitive skin around the eyes and leaves your skin protected to reinforce the skin barrier. With marine and botanical extracts, the eye repair cream provides long-lasting hydration.
Heavy and Puffy Eyes
Are your eyes feeling heavy? Often we can suffer from heavy and puffy eyes from lack of sleep or allergies such as hayfever in the summer. The Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Firming Eye Gel Cream can provide relief from eyes that are burning or tired, with active ingredients Resveratrol and Hyaluronic Acid to reduce puffiness and smooth the eyelids, increasing their firmness. Apply morning and night for the most effective results.
Tired and Irritated Eyes
Allergies can also irritate the eyes, with tired eyes being a factor too. The Avene Soothing Eye Contour Cream contains exclusive Avene Thermal spring water to calm irritated eyes with soothing alpha-bisabolol. The calming and gentle fluid also has protective qualities to reduce redness such as Dextran Sulphate to relieve hypersensitive eyes.
Ageing Eyes with Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Our eyes can feel increasingly tired or dry as we age as the skin's cell renewal begins to slow and we lose elasticity. The Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Eye Cream helps soften the appearance of wrinkles while improving regenerative functions to hydrate and tighten. With natural botanical ingredients to support mature skin.
Another great product from Dr. Hauschka is the soothing Dr. Hauschka Eye Balm. The balm includes Castor Oil to protect and nurture ageing skin, leaving eyes firmed and fortified. Simply warm the balm using your fingertips and apply a thin layer in the morning to the skin around the eyes.
Remove Makeup from Tired Eyes
At the end of the day, when your eyes are feeling tired from screen fatigue, allergies, air-con or just a busy day, the Dr. Hauschka Eye Make-Up Remover cleanses effectively and gently.
The two-phase formula is gentle but thorough, even removing waterproof make-up. With rose water and nourishing plant extracts to moisturise eyebrows and eyelashes, this eye make-up remover has plenty of qualities. Shake the bottle before use to combine the oil and water and use a cotton wool pad to wipe across the eye area.
