DO YOU NEED AN EYE CREAM?
Eyes…one of the most beautiful, captivating features of our face. Also one of the most notoriously delicate areas most prone to signs of aging, environmental damage & darkness. When we make a conscious effort to tend to this fragile area of our face with targeted treatment products, we can prevent these concerns & keep our skin feeling youthful, plump & gorgeous.
Everyone experiences a unique mix of concerns around the eye area… some of us experience more dryness around the eyes, others suffer from dark circles, and then there are those who experience puffiness and swelling. Luckily there are eye creams, gels and serums that treat each individual concern. We’re here to help you find your holy grail eye product that will help you defy age & feel bright eyed.
The eye area is the first to suffer from inflammation, fatigue and stress. When looking at your own reflection it can be the first thing you notice. The skin around your eyes is so thin that it reflects the appearance of your lifestyle and how you are feeling. In our mid to late 20’s we begin to really notice the effects of this. The skin around our eyes is about one tenth as thick as the skin on the rest of our face. This is why when you are tired, stressed, sad, or feeling under the weather, the eyes are the first to give it away.
This thinner skin can also go through lots of stress and damage when it comes to what we apply on and around the eye area, so making sure to choose a gentle yet effective, natural product here is absolutely key. Fortunately, this damage can slowly be reversed. The way you treat your eyes can be the mirror of your appearance & youth. The products that you apply to this sensitive area are also important in maintaining healthy eyes and preventing and healing damage. We believe that taking care of your eyes by being mindful of what you apply to your eye area can help maintain a bright, beautiful, youthful appearance while also preventing those fine lines and wrinkles
IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 20s OR 30s OR EXPERIENCE TIRED, PUFFY EYES
The skin around our eyes accumulates fluid build up due to anything from lack of sleep, diet, a playful (and late) night out, allergies & other environmental issues. Te reduce this puffiness, you’ll need to help reduce the swelling by gently using a crystal facial roller or iice roller to start to release the excess fluid and improve lymphatic drainage. Then you’re going to want to go in with a lightweight gel-like formula that include ingredients like cucumber for cooling & calming and caffeine to rejuvenate & enliven.
In our mid to late 20s we begin to start losing collagen in our faces, especially under our eyes. To preserve your youth & get a head start on your ageless glow, we suggest incorporating an eye treatment both day & night as a part of your beauty ritual. This not only helps to protect, reduce inflammation, heal and nourish, but also preps the skin for makeup to sit nicely on top. We love reaching for products that are both soothing to reduce the swelling & energizing to increase healthy blood flow. Revive your eyes, fight fatigue, and plump up your eyes with these products that are loaded with antioxidants as well as healing, lifting & smoothing ingredients.
IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 30’s OR 40’s OR EXPERIENCE DULL, DEHYDRATED EYES
As we age gracefully, gain wisdom and an elevated sense of self, we also unfortunately accumulate more damage around our eye area from pollution, stress, and beyond. If you haven’t yet started with an eye treatment, it’s never too late to start giving your skin the care it deserves. As we age, dehydration and dullness appears at a quicker rate and shows up around our eyes, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. We all want nourished, hydrated, luminous & glowing eyes, so not only do we recommend reaching for fresh, vibrant, nutrient-dense foods and drinking your fluids, but also treating the area with some of our more targeted eye products that are going to give you that real boost of extra hydration.
Opt for eye treatments that are silky, rich & contain a robust list of active ingredients to minimize and prevent wrinkles & crow’s feet while delivering deep moisture. You’re going to want to reach for products that contain antioxidants for protection & peptides to stimulate collagen. These enriching, rejuvenating eye care products are so beneficial to any delicate areas of skin so you can even use any excess product all the way up between the brows & around the lips, other areas that more quickly begin to showcase the signs of aging.
IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 40’s, 50’s & BEYOND… OR FOR THE GOLD STANDARD IN WRINKLE REDUCTION
As life continues to get better & better, our eyes need a more robust game plan for repair. The quality of the skin, the amount of collagen around the eyes begins to become more noticeable. There is never a reason to worry though, we have you covered with some of the most incredible products to thicken skin, replenish volume, and increase collagen production. In addition to the eye care recommendations for your 40’s, it’s time to really take things up a notch, with the products you reach for, the way you apply & the frequency that you apply.
Tata Harper has some of the most efficacious & innovative products in the industry to help you lift sagging skin, reduce crow’s feet, brighten, smooth & restore your eye area. We love the Boosted Cotouring Eye Balm for ulta-high concentration of botanicals, peptides & its triple retinol technology which is a natural form of retinol to resurface & transform the skin around the eyes. If you want something a touch lighter, the Elixir Vitae Eye Serum is an unparalleled eye treatment to not only protect, but to actually repair & reverse wrinkles while improving the eye’s firmness & elasticity.
When we work to combat the effects of aging in our more elegant & wise years, we have to pay attention to how we apply our treatment products. Don’t make the mistake of applying your eye creams & serums to just below the eye, but very gently tap the product into the entire area of the eye– from the mid nasal bridge & all the way up to the orbital bone, creating a full circle around the entire eye area.
