eye care

Why is special eye care important?

The eye area requires special attention as it is one of the most sensitive areas of skin on the face. With a skin thickness of only about 0.05 mm, it is three to five times thinner than the rest of the face. The sensitive skin in this area has no sebaceous glands and hardly any subcutaneous fat, which means that dryness lines and loss of tension become particularly visible here. In addition, the constant movement caused by blinking and facial expressions means that so-called laugh lines can develop early.

High-quality eye care is therefore not just a luxury, but a useful intensive care product to smooth out wrinkles and promote a radiant, awake look.

Active ingredients for effective eye care

To counteract premature skin aging in the eye area, your eye care should contain regenerating, protective and barrier-strengthening active ingredients:

• Moisturizing and barrier-protecting active ingredients: Multimolecular hyaluronic acid binds moisture, plumps up the skin and stores additional moisture in deeper skin layers. Squalane, a natural component of the hydrolipid film (NMF = Natural Moisturizing Factor), protects the skin barrier and keeps the skin supple. Squalane is quickly absorbed and leaves a light, non-greasy feeling.
• UV protection booster: Ectoin acts as a cell protection booster to protect against UV-induced skin aging, while vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, lightens pigment spots, ensures a more even complexion and, together with tocopherol (vitamin E), improves the skin's resilience.
• Regenerating plant extracts: Argan oil, sea buckthorn oil and pomegranate extract promote collagen production, keep the skin firm and elastic.
• Caffeine: promotes blood circulation, makes the skin appear rosier and has a decongestant effect against bags under the eyes.
  
• Organic rose water: Has an antibacterial effect, reduces dark circles under the eyes and refines the skin's appearance.

Ingredients you should avoid

In the sensitive eye area, it is particularly important to use care products that are gentle on the skin and contain as many natural ingredients as possible. Avoid eye creams that contain the following additives:

• preservatives
• fragrances
• Skin-damaging emulsifiers
• alcohol

These can cause itching, redness or dryness and should therefore be avoided.

Application tips for your eye care

The correct application of your eye care is crucial for its effectiveness:

1. Layering principle: Apply the eye serum after cleansing your face and after applying your day or night cream.
2. Hygienic roller applicator: With the roll-on you can apply the myrto eye serum in the morning, evening and if necessary in between. This ensures a bright look and gently smoothed skin.
3. Gentle application: Avoid rubbing or massaging the sensitive eye area to avoid putting additional strain on the skin.

Differences between the myrto eye serums

The myrto eye serums offer different combinations of active ingredients that can be used alternately to enhance the effect:

• The Ectoin eye serum offers triple protection against UV damage with 2% ectoin, vitamin C and vitamin E (tocopherol). It improves UV protection and protects the sensitive skin around the eyes from sun damage. Ectoin protects the cell structures, while vitamin C and E neutralize free radicals.
• The Argan Eye Serum has been specially formulated to soothe and revitalize the delicate eye area. It contains a powerful combination of antioxidant, hydrating and regenerating ingredients that moisturize and strengthen the skin without burdening it with unnecessary additives.

5 tips for optimal care of the eye area

1. Nutrient-rich diet: A balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, but little sugar, is important for skin health.
2. Drink enough: Make sure you drink 2 to 3 liters of water or unsweetened tea per day.
3. Relaxation breaks: Give your body enough sleep and regular rest periods to avoid stress and tired eyes.
4. Sun protection: Protect your eye area from UV rays with sunglasses.
   
5. Be gentle: Treat the eye area gently and avoid unnecessary rubbing or massaging.
