The Hidden Science of Eye Care: Puffiness, Dark Circles & Prevention
Description
Do you really need eye cream or is it just clever marketing? This is one of the rare cases where I’ll tell you: no, it’s not just marketing.
In this episode, I explain why the skin around our eyes is so different from the rest of the face, thinner, drier, more fragile, and with its own pH and microbiome. I talk about how to choose the right formulas for puffiness, dark circles, dryness, or fine lines, and why using your regular face cream around the eyes can actually do more harm than good. I also share how to build a smart routine: why lightweight, water-based gels work best at night, and richer, protective formulas are perfect for the day. You’ll learn which ingredients to look for, from peptides and probiotics to caffeine and niacinamide, and what to avoid (yes, even retinol!). If you’ve ever wondered how to truly care for this delicate, expressive area, this episode is for you.
