The skin around the eyes is one of the thinnest and most sensitive areas of our face, making it particularly vulnerable to external influences and age-related changes. Improper care for this zone can lead to issues such as puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles, and premature aging.
Often, the cause of these unpleasant phenomena lies in common myths and misconceptions. These misconceptions can lead to neglecting the specific needs of the delicate eye area or using inappropriate products that worsen the appearance and health of the face.
In this article, we will debunk the most popular myths about the skin around the eyes and discuss which approaches and cosmetic products are truly effective for maintaining the health and youthfulness of this delicate zone.
Myth 1: Wrinkles Under Eyes Are Caused by Aging
Many people believe that wrinkles under eyes are caused by aging or only appear after a certain age. In reality, deep or superficial lines, crow's feet, and other wrinkles often result from a lack of hydration and natural facial muscle movement. Facial expressions and the structure of the skin around the eyes cause micro-cracks to form, which then become entrenched in the skin and develop into deep wrinkles.

*To avoid these negative effects, it is important to use products with moisturising and nourishing ingredients.

Myth 2: Dark Circles Under Eyes Are a Result of Lack of Sleep
Lack of sleep is one of the factors that can lead to dark circles under eyes, but it is far from the only one. It can be caused by thin skin, genetic predisposition, microcirculation problems, or excessive pigmentation in the area.
*If the problem does not go away after a normalisation of sleep, it is worth considering brightening and toning cosmetic products that can stimulate blood circulation and reduce the appearance of dark circles.

It also contains niacin, vitamin E, jojoba oil, and plant-derived squalane, which actively nourish, restore, and strengthen the structure of the epidermis.
Myth 3: Puffiness Under Eyes Are Caused by Excess Salt in the Diet
Puffiness under the eyes can be caused by a number of factors, including eating salty and spicy foods. However, the most common cause of puffiness is a loss of skin elasticity. As we age, collagen and elastin, which are responsible for firmness, begin to break down and the skin loses its original shape.
*To effectively combat this problem, it is important not only to monitor salt intake but also to use cosmetic products that restore elasticity and strengthen the skin.
The Depuff Vitamin Eye Mask | Nutrient Line Repair by Christina contains three types of hyaluronic acid for hydration, barrier restoration, and long-lasting moisture retention in the epidermis. The inclusion of cupuaçu oil softens, smooths, and enhances tone, reducing the visibility of dark circles and revitalizing the skin.
Myth 4: Face Cream Can Be Used on the Skin Around the Eyes
Using face cream on the skin around the eyes can cause negative skin reactions such as irritation, puffiness, and even allergic reactions. This is because the skin around the eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than other areas of the face and has its own pH level. Specialised eye creams not only take into account the unique characteristics of this area but are also tested by ophthalmologists for safe and effective use.
*To properly care for the skin around the eyes, it is important to choose products that are specifically designed for this area, with a light texture and appropriate active ingredients.

Myth 5: Eye Care is Expensive and Complicated
There are many effective, budget-friendly creams and serums that can help diminish puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles without spending a lot of money. In addition, basic procedures such as regular moisturising, self-massage, and protection from the damaging effects of the environment do not require a great deal of effort and can easily be incorporated into your daily skincare routine.
