Which eye contour should you choose according to your skin type and needs?
The eye area is one of the most fragile areas of the face , yet it is often neglected in the skincare routine.
Its skin is thinner and poorer in sebaceous glands , collagen and elastin , which makes it particularly vulnerable to signs of fatigue and aging .
The result ? The appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and bags under the eyes, which make the eyes look tired and heavy.
Fortunately, with proper hydration and targeted care, it is possible to prevent these signs and restore radiance and vitality to the eyes.
I. The eye contour: a sensitive area
Often overlooked in the skincare routine, the eye contour is nevertheless one of the areas most exposed to signs of fatigue and skin aging. Its extremely thin and delicate skin has few sebaceous glands and naturally lacks protection.
In addition to its particular structure, it is constantly used : we blink around 12,000 times a day , not counting facial expressions which accentuate movements and micro-tensions in the skin.
Laughter, stress, tears, fatigue… everything leaves an imprint on this area.
Added to this are external aggressions : UV rays, pollution, cold and even wind which accelerate dehydration and further weaken this skin, which is already devoid of natural protection.
Without a sufficient hydrolipidic film, it struggles to retain moisture and marks more quickly.
The result? Fine lines, dark circles, puffiness , and a tired look that betrays both lack of sleep and the passage of time.
II. Understanding the needs of your eye area
Before choosing the right treatment, it's essential to understand the specific needs of your eye area. This delicate area can be affected in a variety of ways: dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, or dryness. Each issue has a distinct cause and requires a targeted response.
HAS. Dark circles: signs of fatigue and poor circulation
Dark circles appear under the eye as a bluish, purplish, or brown discoloration .
Their origin can be varied:
Poor blood and lymphatic circulation , which prevents the elimination of toxins and gives a dark appearance to the eye area.
Genetic factors , which play a major role in the pigmentation of dark circles.
Fatigue and lack of sleep , which accentuate blood stagnation under the eye.
It is important to note that dark circles of genetic origin, linked to a specific pigmentation of the skin under the eyes , cannot be effectively treated with creams .
In this case, a more targeted and specialized dermatological approach may be necessary to achieve significant results.
B. Bags: accumulation of fluid or sagging skin
Bags under the eyes are visible swelling under the lower eyelid. They can be caused by:
Water retention due to poor lymphatic circulation, accentuated by a diet rich in salt or a lack of hydration.
Sagging skin due to age, when the skin loses elasticity and fatty tissue accumulates under the eye.
Please note: if the bags under the eyes are caused by sagging skin , they can only be effectively treated by cosmetic surgery , which involves removing the fatty tissue accumulated in this area.
C. Fine lines and wrinkles: loss of elasticity and firmness
Fine lines and expression lines appear over time due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin . They are accentuated by:
Repeated facial expressions (blinking, laughing, squinting).
Lack of hydration , which makes the skin thinner and more noticeable in wrinkles.
External aggressions , particularly UV rays, responsible for premature aging.
D. Dryness: uncomfortable and more marked skin
The eye area is naturally low in sebaceous glands , making it particularly prone to dehydration. Dry skin around the eyes can feel tight and uncomfortable, and can accentuate fine lines .
Aggravating factors include:
An unsuitable skincare routine , particularly the use of harsh cleansers or products not suitable for this area.
A dry climate or temperature variations , which disrupt skin hydration.
Lack of water in the body , which is directly reflected on the skin.
E. How to identify your main problem?
Before choosing a treatment, take the time to observe your eye area :
✅ Do your eyes look tired with discoloration under your eyes ? → Opt for an anti-dark circle treatment.
✅ Are your lower eyelids swollen when you wake up? → Choose a decongestant treatment to combat puffiness.
✅ Does your skin easily show fine lines ? → Choose a smoothing and anti-aging formula.
✅ Is your eye area dry and tight? → Choose a hydrating and nourishing treatment.
💡 Tip : It's common to have multiple issues (e.g., dark circles + dryness). If this is your case, don't hesitate to combine treatments that address these specific needs or alternate the application of products according to your current needs.
