There are many reasons why the eye contour area is particularly fragile and prone to wrinkles and other signs of aging. Notably, the skin is thinner compared to other parts of the body1 and is drier with less surface lipids, due to less active sebaceous glands.2
In addition, the skin around the eyes moves constantly, as we blink around 12 times per minute.3 The eye contour also moves when we laugh, smile and frown. Let’s not forget that many of us also rub our eyes frequently, often without realizing it. The skin around the eyes is therefore more fragile and more affected by fatigue and signs of aging than other areas. Certain lifestyle factors, like smoking, pollution, and sun exposure, can further accelerate skin aging. These factors generate oxidative stress, which damages the delicate skin around the eyes, leading to premature wrinkles and other signs of aging.
To combat signs of fatigue and target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, apply Sensibio Eye+ to reduce the appearance of these concerns, improve skin radiance, and provide immediate and long-lasting relief for tired, sensitive eyes.
