Why can't lotion be applied around the eyes? Should skin care products be applied around the eyes?

When we usually use skin care products, we often see words on them to avoid using them around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is very fragile, so the eyes need to use special eye skin care products.

The design concept of lotion is not suitable for use on our eye skin, and every skin part of the body has its own specific applicable products. If used casually, it may cause a series of skin problems.

1. The lotion has a milky texture and is thicker than toner. If it is applied to the skin around the eyes, it will be difficult to absorb. Moreover, if the lotion cannot be absorbed for a long time, it will cause a burden on the skin around the eyes and even affect the normal breathing of the skin.

2. The lotion contains water-based ingredients and oily ingredients. Because the water-based ingredients do not burden the skin, and the oily ingredients have a moisturizing effect, many people think that there is nothing wrong with using it in this way. However, if the lotion is applied around the eyes, it will be too moisturizing. If the skin cannot absorb it, it will lead to overnutrition, thereby causing fat particles to grow around the eyes.

3. Lotion is a product designed for facial skin, and it is a skin care product with hydrating, nourishing and moisturizing effects. Applying it around the eyes is not very helpful for the skin around the eyes. The skin around the eyes needs hydration, firming, removal of eye bags, dark circles, eye wrinkles, etc., and lotion obviously cannot solve these problems. There are also corresponding products specifically for the care of our eye skin. We should choose the right products and use them in the right places, so that we can better protect our skin. We must know that improper use will not only fail to protect the skin, but will make our skin condition worse. Therefore, we must be careful when taking care of our skin in daily life, and take the right way to take care of it to achieve good results!

Should I avoid the eye area when applying skin care products?

1. Prevent irritation to the skin around the eyes

As we all know, the facial skin is the most delicate part of the body, and the weakest and most vulnerable part of the facial skin is the eye skin. The eye skin is very weak and is the most prone to aging and wrinkles. Some lotions contain irritating ingredients such as alcohol and preservatives. If applied to the eye skin, it is likely to irritate the eye skin.

2. Prevent overnutrition of eye skin

Lotions contain high levels of nutrients and are skin care products designed for facial skin. The skin around the eyes is more delicate than the skin around the face. If you apply lotions and other skin care products with high levels of nutrients, the skin cannot absorb them. This will lead to nutrient accumulation and overnutrition over a long period of time, causing fat particles to form on the skin around the eyes.

3. Prevent damage to the skin around the eyes

Some people are used to using cotton pads to apply lotion and emulsion. When applying lotion and emulsion with cotton pads, you need to wipe the skin with the cotton pads. The wiping action has the effect of exfoliating. The skin around the eyes is very sensitive and fragile. If it is wiped with cotton pads for a long time, it can easily cause the skin to become dry and dehydrated, thereby prematurely forming eye wrinkles such as corner lines and dry eye lines.

Why Lotion Is Irritating to the Eyes

This is because lotion is specially used to care for other parts of our skin. If it is used for eye care, it is not suitable. It is also easy to cause various problems such as overnutrition, which can cause eye problems. Let's take a look at some common sense about eye care. The skin around the eyes is the most vulnerable part of the entire face. The skin here is soft and thin, with fewer sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and many wrinkles. It is easy to lack water and wrinkles. Therefore, skin care products that are too nutritious cannot be used. As for water lotion, the density of water is small and the texture is light and thin, so it is okay to apply it around the eyes. However, lotion has a thicker texture and rich nutrition, so it is not suitable to be applied around the eyes.

What water can be applied around the eyes?

1. Texture

Toner has a light texture and can be rubbed around the eyes, but this does not mean that any toner can be rubbed around the eyes. You should know that toners can be divided into refreshing toners and moisturizing toners according to their properties. If you want to rub it around the eyes, it is best to use a refreshing toner, because it is not easy to burden the skin around the eyes or cause problems such as overnutrition.

2. Use eye gel or eye cream around the eyes

Eye gel and eye cream are actually the same thing, except that eye gel is a gel texture while eye cream is a cream texture. They both have the effects of replenishing water, moisturizing, and eliminating dark circles, eye bags, and eye wrinkles. And you should know that eye gel is thinner than eye cream, so it is more suitable for young skin. If we don’t pay attention to these small details in our daily life, it is very likely to cause eye discomfort, or a variety of skin problems such as fat particles. And for skin care of other parts, we must also choose the right skin care products, so that our skin can be properly cared for!
