Delicate Touch to the Eyes

The eyes are often called the “windows to the soul”, but the skin around them can be a window to our age, stress levels, and health. The eye area is one of the most sensitive parts of the face, requiring gentle and careful attention.

From under-eye bruises to wrinkles and puffiness, understanding the causes and solutions for these common issues is essential for maintaining a youthful and vibrant appearance.

Let's dive into the world of eye care and discover the power of herbal extracts in tackling these problems...

First of all, we should recognize the structure of the eye contour;

The Sensitive Nature of the Eye Area

The skin around our eyes is significantly thinner and more delicate than other facial areas. This sensitivity makes it more prone to showing signs of aging, fatigue, and stress. [1]

Factors such as genetics, dehydration, and environmental exposure can all contribute to the appearance of under-eye bruises, wrinkles, and puffiness.

Skin aging, whether chronological or environmental in origin, causes visible deterioration of the skin and loss of its functionality. It is known that signs of aging appear earlier in the thin skin area than in other parts of the face.

The area around the eyes, which has the thinnest skin, is one of the first of these areas...

So, eye contour care requires more careful and attentive handling compared to other skin areas.

Common Problems and Their Causes

1.Dark Circles:

Bruises, often referred to as dark circles, can be caused by factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, allergies, or thinning skin that reveals underlying blood vessels.

2.Wrinkles:

Fine lines and crow's feet emerge due to the natural aging process, sun exposure, and repetitive facial expressions.

The reduced production of collagen and elastin plays a significant role.

3.Puffiness: Swollen or puffy eyes can result from fluid retention, allergies, lack of sleep, or even high salt intake.

It can also be a sign of aging as the tissues and muscles supporting the eyelids weaken.

🌿Plant Extracts for Eye Contour Issues

Nature provides a wealth of ingredients that can effectively target concerns in the eye area. Presented here are five potent herbal extracts that can significantly enhance the appearance of eye contour:

Lavender Extract

Lavender is renowned for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce puffiness and can calm irritated skin.

Studies show that lavender extract has strong inhibitory effects against tyrosinase activity. [2,3]

Coffee Extract

Coffee extract has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with phenolic compounds and especially caffein content that can help reduce puffiness and dark circles. [4,5]

Its vasoconstrictive properties help narrow blood vessels, reducing the appearance of bruises and swelling.

Horse Chestnut Extract

Horse chestnut is a highly effective herb for increasing blood circulation and relieving swelling.

It contains “aescin”, which strengthens capillaries and reduces inflammation, making it ideal for helps to treating under-eye bruises and puffiness.

An extract of horse chestnut has potent antioxidant properties an it contains flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, known for their cell-protective and anti-aging effects. [6]

Hibiscus Extract

Hibiscus is often called the "Botox plant" due to its natural firming properties.

Rich in antioxidants, hibiscus extract helps combat free radicals, supports skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

It's a fantastic addition to any anti-aging eye serum. [7]

Watermelon Fruit Extract

Watermelon is not just a refreshing summer treat; its extract is rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
