Eye Serum: Use and Effect

Today, such cosmetic as serum is becoming increasingly popular. It can have various effects, applied to different parts of the face and body. It is believed that it is much more effective than conventional cream due to the high content of active substances. For this, serums are often called “activators” for nails or hair. However, the most popular is serum, which is applied to the skin around the eyes.

This cosmetic works faster than regular cream, and its effect lasts much longer. This is due to the specific molecular structure of the whey and its consistency. Particles of the product, smaller than those of conventional masks or creams, penetrate the pores of the skin more quickly. In this way, the serum not only fills and smoothes small facial wrinkles, but also actively influences the very cause of their appearance, tightening the facial contour.

Any high-quality acid (for example, glycolic or hyaluronic) must be present in the composition of high-quality whey. In addition, it should be antioxidants against cellular aging, various peptides and vitamins. On sale you will never meet serum without tight packing with the batcher. The fact is that many of the useful components of this tool, when contacted with air, oxidize and lose most of their properties.

Infrequently, you can see the serum in a large bottle. This is due to the fact that the drug has a rather strong effect on the skin, its use should be limited in time. Most often, any serum is used in short courses with long breaks between them. The shelf life of such a product is much less than conventional cosmetics due to the high content of natural ingredients.

Do not assume that anti-aging cosmetics with a lifting effect are suitable only for ladies in age. Doctors cosmetologists recommend such products to use since 20-25 years. This is due to the fact that the ecology and climate of industrial cities and towns, as well as the stressful rhythm of modern life, have a very negative effect on health and appearance.

After reaching the age of 30-35 years, such a serum should be included in the daily complex of skin care around the eyes. The more wrinkles and bags under the eyes, the more powerful the tool should be.

Unfortunately, not everyone should use such active agents. Contraindications may be the peculiarities of the skin or the composition of the cosmetic product itself.

• The skin of the eyelids is sensitive to one or another component of the care product. Before buying it is best to test the activator on the back of your hand or on the crook of your elbow. If after 24 hours a pronounced allergic reaction is noticeable, it is better to refrain from using serum or to search for an analogue, but with a different composition.
• It is not necessary to apply such essences after a recent surgical intervention in the area under or above the eyelids, after a chemical peel or in severe dermatological diseases.
• The product is not used for ulcers and inflammations, a large number of moles or papillomas in the area of ​​skin on which the remedy is applied.

Depending on the effects on the skin, all serums for the area around the eyes can be divided into several types.

• Moisturizers - fill dehydrated skin cells with plenty of moisture.
• Nutritious - saturate the skin with vitamins and trace elements that are so necessary for the normal functioning of epithelial cells.
• Regenerating (restoring) - restore depleted and damaged cells, give the skin an inner glow.
• Lightening - make pigment spots and bruises smaller and less noticeable, even the natural tone of the face.
• Sealing - increase the protective membranes of skin cells.
• Pull-up - lifting serum to adjust the oval of the face and reduce facial wrinkles and age.
• Stimulating (collagen) - under the influence of such serums the natural production of collagen is resumed.
• Combined - restore the water-lipid balance, reduce visible wrinkles and stimulate the natural regeneration of epidermal cells. This serum is often called "multi-corrective", it combines several effects from other means.

To get the effect, it is not enough just to buy a miracle tool, you need to use it correctly. There are certain rules for the use of serums for the eyes. Before applying it you need to thoroughly clean the skin from impurities and makeup. For this, water alone will not be enough, it is necessary to eliminate all the excess with the help of milk, foam or lotion. For both daily and one-time use, just a couple drops of activator will suffice. A large number of it only clog pores.

The light watery structure of the serum perfectly moisturizes the skin., but quickly evaporates from its surface, so after applying it is best to spread the treated area of ​​skin with a nourishing cream. A procedure carried out on a regular basis at the same time will produce a more tangible result than that performed at different times. On average, one course of serum lasts from 10 to 20 days, after which you must take a break for at least 1 month.

The tool is best applied with light massage or patting movements in the direction from the inner corner of the eye to the outer edge. This creates an additional effect on wrinkles and contributes to their reduction.

Whatever may say fashionable beauticians, but often the effectiveness of the serum does not depend on its price. Good products can be found in the luxury segment, as well as in more democratic brands.
