Do you have crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes? Is your under-eye area darker or puffier than usual? Maybe it’s time to take a look at eye creams for women over 50 to help soothe and smooth the skin around your eyes.
The skin around our eyes is the most delicate on our face. This area is typically where we first see the sign of wrinkles because it is very thin and has the lowest elasticity and moisture. Crow’s feet, under eye sagging, and even lid creases can give away our age or even make us look older than we are.
But remember, there’s nothing wrong with getting older, and we should be proud of those crow’s feet wrinkles at the corner of our eyes that tell the world we have lived and laughed a lot!
Here is our list of the 10 best eye creams for older women:
Thankfully, there are eye creams you can apply to soothe and protect the gentle area around your eyes if you want to delay and somewhat diminish further wrinkling and sagging. Eye creams are designed to add moisture to dry skin and help relieve inflammation like puffy eyes. They can also help reduce dark circles and hollow eyes.
Of course, no topical cream can produce miracles. Keep your expectations reasonable when purchasing any eye cream. Stay away from those that advertise unrealistic results.
I’m not a fan of the word anti-aging and much prefer the word pro-aging. But you’ll notice the beauty industry still uses the term “anti-aging” a lot.
The ingredients are key factors in eye creams. There are ingredients that, when combined, create formulas that can nourish and moisturize the skin.
Here are some of the ingredients that you should look for on the labels when purchasing eye creams for women over 50.
You can easily apply eye cream in the morning before your makeup and at night after you have cleansed your skin.
A small amount typically goes a long way. Gently dab a pea size amount of product with your middle finger on your under-eye area and also on your lid if you wish.
Make sure the product is fully absorbed before proceeding with your makeup application.
