How to Avoid Getting Sick When Moving Between Heat and AC
Under-eye Skincare: 5 Ingredients That Should Never EVER Be Used Under Your Eyes!
A little-known fact is that the skin around your eyes is one of the thinnest, most sensitive parts of your body. It is also among the first areas of your body to show obvious signs of ageing, such as fine lines.
Unlike the rest of the face, the skin under your eyes is a sensitive area requires specific care. You need to know what ingredients you should never use under your eyes in order to banish dark circles or reduce puffiness - more specifically, what ingredients to avoid for under-eye skincare.
Take a look.
Under-Eye Skincare: 5 Ingredients To Avoid
1. Synthetic fragrance
When applied close to the lash line and eyelids, synthetic fragrances can cause redness and itchiness in this delicate area. Fragrance can also irritate the eyes and cause inflammation, leading to discomfort and blurred vision. It is best to avoid using any products with synthetic fragrances near the eyes [1].
Natural alternatives are a better choice.
2. Steroids
As topical steroids can cause further thinning of the skin under the eyes, as well as make the skin more sensitive to the sun and more prone to allergies, it should be avoided under the eyes. People should look for alternative treatments, such as creams or ointments containing hyaluronic acid or retinol, to reduce the appearance of dark circles [2].
For severe cases, laser treatments or chemical peels can be considered.
3. Alcohol
There is no doubt that alcohol is notorious for removing moisture from the skin, resulting in dry and dehydrated skin. When used under the eyes, it can cause irritation, interfere with the skin's regeneration process, or cause burns in some cases.
4. Salicylic acid
As an anti-inflammatory agent, salicylic acid is useful for the skin on the face. However, on the delicate skin under the eyes, it can cause irritation, and dryness, and make the area more prone to wrinkling [3].
Therefore, salicylic acid should be used cautiously around the eye area. It is best to use a product specifically formulated for this area and to talk to a dermatologist before using it.
5. Formaldehyde
You will also want to scan the ingredient list of your eye cream for formaldehyde, which is easily absorbed by the skin under the eye and can cause a wide range of adverse reactions, including swelling and rashes.
On A Final Note...
Even though certain ingredients are not tolerated well by this sensitive area, many alternatives are available for under-eye skin problems. If you have dark circles, vitamin K and vitamin C products are suitable for use in this area.
Hyaluronic acid and moisturising creams containing jojoba oil and sunflower oil are also useful in treating dark circles.
