False lashes, mascara, eyeliner - our beauty arsenal for the eyes keeps growing. But all these products place demands on the delicate skin around your eyes. Irritation, dry eyes, allergic reactions: it happens more often than you'd think. And that's exactly why a good eye care routine is at least as important as applying make-up.
Why is the skin around your eyes so vulnerable?
The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your entire body - just 0.5mm thick, compared to an average of 2mm elsewhere on your face. This thin skin has fewer sebaceous glands, less collagen, and fewer elastic fibres.
