For many men, the concept of eye cream is an unfamiliar one. They might not think they need it, or they may be under the mistaken impression that a moisturizer does basically the same job as an eye cream. Sadly, while moisturizers are absolutely essential for keeping skin hydrated, they can only do so much for the sensitive eye area. To answer the question of why do men need an eye cream, there are three key benefits to keep in mind, each one crucial to making sure your eye area stays looking youthful and revitalized. Which is why we’re going to break down just how important this often overlooked product is. Keep reading to learn all of the important reasons men should consider using eye cream.
Your eyes are the most delicate part of your face
The skin here is thinner than the rest of your face, meaning it’s more prone to show the effects of aging, environmental damage, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and sagging are all common issues in this area and will be more pronounced because of that skin thinness. In men, some of those issues, like sagging, are actually more pronounced than in women, meaning an eye cream is the one product to help keep the eye area looking and appearing firm. Our Age Defender Eye Repair is a lifting, firming, dark circle reducing eye cream for men that is formulated with Rye Seed Extract and Linseed Extract, plus Blurring Minerals to reflect light and give the appearance a brighter eye area.
It’s specially formulated for the eye area
Moisturizers are wonderful at providing hydration, but they aren’t designed to target the appearance of dark circles and puffy eyes. Eye creams, on the other hand are. At Kiehl’s we have ophthalmologist-tested formulas with powerful ingredients that can address these concerns and are safe for the eye area — many moisturizers can contain ingredients that can be irritating to the eyes. Our Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer can help refresh tired eyes and decrease puffiness with a cooling formula that features Caffeine to help revive delicate undereye skin.
It can make your eyes look refreshed
When you don’t get enough sleep, your eyes can suffer. You may see deeper dark circles and a generally dull look that can get more pronounced the longer you neglect it. Formulated with Caffeine and Vitamin B3, Eye Fuel visibly combats dark circles and puffy, tired eyes. It has a refreshing, cooling feel that absorbs quickly to provide weightless hydration and refreshing relief. And, when your eyes appear brighter, it can make the rest of your face look more energized and younger-looking.
If you don’t properly care for the undereye area, your skin will start to appear older and more tired looking, meaning no matter how many other products you use, you won’t be providing your skin with what it really needs to have the biggest impact. One of the best anti-aging products any man can invest in (besides sunscreen, of course) is an eye cream.
