The skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive and requires special eye care and skincare adapted to the eye area. Because the eye area has fewer sebaceous glands than the rest of the face, the skin here lacks strong natural protection. This makes the skin around the eyes more vulnerable to external stressors and more prone to dryness and sensitivity. Lifestyle habits, stress and lack of sleep can also leave their mark, which may result in fine lines, dark undereye circles and puffiness.
Common skin problems around the eyes – and how to treat them with the right eye care
The skin around the eyes can have different needs depending on skin type, age and lifestyle. That is why it is important to choose the right products tailored specifically to your skin.
Swollen areas around the eyes
Lifting Eye Serum is an active eye serum that effectively reduces puffiness and signs of fatigue and provides an immediate smoothing and firming effect when used on its own, preferably in the morning. For an extra cooling and depuffing effect, store the product in the fridge before use. Use your regular eye cream from MARIA ÅKERBERG in the evening. Learn more about how Lifting Eye Serum works and how to use it in this blog post.
Fine lines and dryness
Eye Cream is a deeply moisturising and smoothing eye cream for all skin types and ages, containing Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil and strengthening Rosehip Seed Oil. You may also complement with Eye Balm in the evening, which provides extra protection and care for dry and sensitive skin during the night.
Eczema around the eyes and on the eyelids
Apply Eye Cream over the entire eyelid and follow with protective Eye Balm on top. A perfect combination for dry and sensitive skin around the eyes.
Wrinkles
Eye Cream More is specifically developed for more mature skin. It contains vitamin-rich Sea Buckthorn Oil and Persian Silk Tree Extract, which help to firm, smooth and strengthen the skin. Complement with Lifting Eye Serum for a results-driven treatment of wrinkles and loss of firmness around the eyes.
Dark undereye circles
Eye Cream contains Horse Chestnut which strengthens superficial blood vessels and helps to reduce dark areas. To quickly brighten and blur signs of fatigue, try Liquid Mineral Concealer.
Eyeshadow does not stay in place all day
Use Serum Mois as a primer over your eye product
Watery eyes
Apply Eye Balm around the eyes to protect against cold weather and wind.
Remember! A small amount of eye cream - about the size of a grain of rice - is sufficient per application. Gently dab in with your fingertip and avoid pulling at the skin.
With the right eye care, you can both prevent and treat common skin issues around the eyes. Tailor your routine to your needs and complement it with active products for the best results.
