Why is special eye care important?
The eye area requires special attention, as it is one of the most sensitive areas of 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 delicate skin in this area has no sebaceous glands and hardly any subcutaneous fat, meaning that dryness wrinkles and loss of tone become particularly visible here. Furthermore, the constant movement caused by blinking and facial expressions can cause laugh lines to develop prematurely.
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 the skin, and retains additional moisture even in the deeper layers of the skin. 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 skin's resilience.
- Regenerating plant extracts: Argan oil, sea buckthorn oil and pomegranate extract promote collagen production, keeping the skin firm and elastic.
- Caffeine: Promotes blood circulation, makes the skin appear rosier and has a decongestant effect against under-eye bags.
- 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's especially important to use non-irritating care products with natural ingredients wherever possible. Avoid eye creams and serums that contain the following additives:
- Preservatives
- Fragrances
- Skin-damaging emulsifiers
- alcohol
These additives promote itching, redness and dryness.
Application tips for your eye care
The correct application of your eye care is also important for its effectiveness:
- Layering principle: Apply the eye serum after cleansing your face and after applying your day or night cream.
- Hygienic roller applicator: With the roll-on, you can apply the myrto eye serum morning, evening, and as needed in between. This ensures a refreshed look and gently smoothed skin.
- Gentle application: Avoid rubbing or massaging the delicate eye area to avoid putting additional strain on the skin.
Differences between the myrto eye serums
Our 2 myrto eye serums offer different combinations of active ingredients that can be used alternately to enhance the effect:
- Ectoin Eye Serum offers triple protection against UV damage with 2% ectoin, vitamin C, and vitamin E (tocopherol). It enhances the skin's natural UV protection and protects the delicate eye area from sun damage. Ectoin protects cell structures, while vitamins C and E neutralize free radicals and counteract hyperpigmentation.
- The Argan Eye Serum was specially formulated to soothe and regenerate the delicate eye area. The emulsifier-free formula contains a powerful combination of antioxidant, hydrating, and cell-renewing ingredients that moisturize, strengthen, and smooth the skin without overloading it with unnecessary additives.
5 additional tips for caring for your eye area
- Nutrient-rich diet: A balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, but little sugar, is the important basis for your skin health.
- Drink enough fluids: Make sure you drink 2 to 3 liters of water or unsweetened tea per day.
- Relaxation breaks: Give your body enough sleep and regular rest periods to avoid stress and tired eyes.
- Sun protection: Protect your eye area from UV rays with sunglasses.
- Gentle handling: Treat the eye area gently and avoid unnecessary rubbing or massaging.
