Why is an eye cream different from regular moisturiser?

The skin around your eyes is more delicate than the rest of the skin on your body. This means it requires extra care and love, ultimately requiring a specific eye cream.
Although we use gentle and sensitive cream for face skin anyway, the eye area is even more fragile. If you think about it, problems such as dark circles and crow's feet aren’t as common on the rest of the face. So it’s easier to target these skincare concerns with an eye cream–rather than a broader cream.

What’re the main benefits of eye cream?

1. Reduces fine lines & wrinkles
   This is the big benefit to eye cream! Wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet are a natural part of the ageing process, but using an eye cream regularly will significantly reduce their appearance.


2. Tightens eye skin
   An eye cream will firm and smooth any loose skin you have in that area. The skin around your eye is extra thin, and requires specialist care to remain youthful and elasticated.


3. Full hydration
   Rather than using the same old moisturiser, an eye cream will fully hydrate and nourish the eye area. Ingredients such as Avocado and the Leaf Of Life boost skin’s natural hydration mechanisms so you can truly feel the benefit.


4. Protects & prevents
   Everyday life is full of harsh chemicals, pollution and UV rays. An eye cream protects the thinnest areas of skin with essential ingredients such as White Horehound, which prevents pollution from penetrating the skin.


5. Helps skincare & makeup
   Using the correct eye cream will add the fundamental base layer to your makeup routine, as well as giving the right amount of nourishment to your total skin care routine in the evening


6. Overall wellness, rejuvenation & radiance!
   An eye cream won’t just help your eye area, it’ll give your face a natural glow too! These creams are specially designed to brighten, smooth and lift for an overall healthy and youthful appearance.
