AH-MAZING ALL-NATURAL EYE CREAMS
Let's play a little game of "If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only choose one item from your skincare routine, what would it be?"
Our answer would always be our EYE CREAM!
The unfortunate truth is the eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging. As if we don't have other things to worry about, right! The skin around the eyes is thinner, prone to dryness and super fragile compared to the skin that is on the rest of your face, and continues to thin as we age. All of our facial expressions, like smiling, frowning and squinting, can affect the eye area, creating fine lines, crow’s feet and those gorgeous laugh and smile lines we works so hard for. While you don’t want to become expressionless, you can control some of these lines by using an effective eye cream.
Luckily, the best all-natural, non-toxic and cruelty-free eye creams are specifically designed to help minimize the appearance of fine lines, diminish non-hereditary dark circles, and relieve puffiness without the harmful chemicals of all the mass market products.
Choosing a great all-natural eye cream is only the first step - you also need to take care when applying the cream to the delicate skin under your eyes. Simply dot a few millimeters below the lower lash line, starting from the inner eye towards the outer eye direction, then gently pat the cream using your ring finger, never roughly rub the cream in. We also love keeping our cream in the fridge for an extra bonus cooling and de-puffing effect.
If you desperately want to kiss goodbye to those bags, but aren't sure which product is best for you, we’ve chosen (5) of our favorite non-toxic and all-natural eye creams that will instantly win you over. After all, who wants irritating toxins so close to their eye area?
