How to Treat Dry Skin Around Your Eyes

Ever caught yourself in the mirror and thought, "Why is the skin around my eyes so dry and flaky?" You're not alone. The delicate skin around our eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of our face, making it prone to dryness, especially during colder months or due to environmental factors .

But fear not! With the right care and products, you can restore moisture and vitality to this sensitive area. Let's delve into the causes, treatments, and how BeLogical's affordable skincare range can help you achieve hydrated, healthy-looking eyes.

Understanding the Causes of Dry Under-Eye Skin

Before we jump into solutions, it's essential to understand what's causing that dryness:

• Environmental Factors: Cold weather, low humidity, and wind can strip moisture from the skin.
  
  

• Aging: As we age, our skin produces less oil, leading to dryness.
  
  

• Allergies and Irritants: Certain skincare products or allergens can cause irritation and dryness.
  
  

• Medical Conditions: Conditions like eczema or blepharitis can lead to dry, flaky skin around the eyes .

How to Moisturize Dry Skin Under Eyes

Moisturizing is crucial for treating and preventing dryness. Here's how to do it effectively:

1. Choose the Right Product: Opt for eye creams specifically formulated for dryness. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin are excellent for hydration.
   
   

2. Gentle Application: Use your ring finger to apply the cream, as it exerts the least pressure. Gently tap the product around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes.
   
   

3. Consistency is Key: Apply your eye cream twice daily—morning and night—for optimal results.
   
   

Best Eye Creams for Dryness

When selecting an eye cream, look for products that are hydrating, gentle, and free from irritants. Some top-rated options include:

• Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream: Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it's designed for all skin types and provides 24-hour hydration.
  
  

• CeraVe Eye Repair Cream: Contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin's barrier and retain moisture.
  
  

These products are known for their effectiveness in treating dry, flaky skin around the eyes.

3. Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of products with alcohol, fragrances, or harsh chemicals.
   
   

4. Consult a Dermatologist: If the condition persists, seek professional advice to rule out underlying issues.
   
   

Hydration Tips for Delicate Eye Area

Maintaining hydration is vital for the delicate skin around your eyes. Here are some tips:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
  
  

• Use a Humidifier: Especially during winter, a humidifier can add moisture to the air, preventing skin dryness.
  
  

• Protect Your Skin: Wear sunglasses to shield your eyes from harsh winds and UV rays.
  
  

Soothing Products for Eye-Area Dryness

In addition to eye creams, consider using soothing products like:

• Under-Eye Patches: Infused with hydrating ingredients, they provide an extra moisture boost.
  
  

• Cooling Eye Gels: These can reduce puffiness and provide a refreshing sensation.
  
  

How to Fix Dry Skin Near Eyes

Addressing dry skin near the eyes involves a combination of proper skincare and lifestyle adjustments:

• Avoid Hot Water: Use lukewarm water when washing your face to prevent stripping natural oils.
  
  

• Limit Screen Time: Prolonged exposure to screens can strain your eyes and contribute to dryness.
  
  

• Get Adequate Sleep: Ensure you're getting enough rest, as fatigue can exacerbate skin issues.
  
  

Eye-Safe Moisturizers for Sensitive Skin

For those with sensitive skin, it's essential to choose eye-safe moisturizers that are hypoallergenic and free from potential irritants. Look for products labeled as suitable for sensitive skin and ophthalmologist-tested.

Under-Eye Care for Winter Dryness

Winter can be particularly harsh on the skin. To combat under-eye dryness during colder months:

• Layer Your Skincare: Use a hydrating serum followed by a rich eye cream to lock in moisture.
  
  

• Protect Against the Elements: Wear protective eyewear and scarves to shield your skin from cold winds.
  
  

Gentle Hydrating Routine for Dry Eyes

Establishing a gentle, hydrating routine can make a significant difference:

Morning Routine:

• Cleanse with a gentle, hydrating cleanser.
  
  

• Apply a lightweight, hydrating eye cream.
  
  

• Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen.
  
  

Evening Routine:

• Cleanse: Gently remove makeup and impurities with a soft, hydrating cleanser that won't strip your skin. BeLogical’s gentle Niacinamide Face Wash is a great option—it cleanses thoroughly while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
  
  

• Serum: Apply a few drops of a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid. BeLogical’s 1% Niacinamide + 2% Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum deeply hydrates and calms the skin, especially around the delicate eye area.
  
  

• Moisturize: Lock in all that goodness with a deeply hydrating, non-irritating eye cream. For full-face moisture (yes, including around your eyes!), BeLogical’s 1% Ceramide Moisturizer delivers rich hydration and barrier repair while being eye-safe and perfect for sensitive skin.
