Men and women have different levels of sebum secretion on their faces. Generally speaking, men have more sebum secretion than women, which is one of the reasons why men's faces are less prone to wrinkles (dry skin is more prone to wrinkles). However, the skin around the eyes is thin for both men and women and has very few sebaceous glands. Therefore, besides forehead wrinkles, the area around the eyes is the most prone to wrinkles. So, even for men, if you don't want wrinkles to appear around your eyes prematurely, it is necessary to use special skincare products to replenish moisture and oil.
Common eye care products include eye creams, eye gels, eye-specific lotions, and eye masks. Here is a description of the functions of these products, which can serve as a reference when choosing:
Eye Gel
Eye gel is a translucent jelly-like substance. Its main function is to reduce swelling and soothe the skin. For example, when we have dark circles or eye bags due to poor sleep quality, we need the repairing function of this product. It is suitable for young skin under the age of 25. However, eye gel is not a magic potion. If you often stay up late, its effectiveness will be limited.
Eye Cream
It is a lotion or thick cream that is mainly designed for eye bags, fine lines, and dark circles. It is suitable for skin around the eyes that has started to have small fine lines or for skin over the age of 25.
Eye Mask
The main function of an eye mask is to provide a large amount of moisture to the skin around the eyes. It is a skincare product that is sufficient to use once or twice a week. The method of use is to apply it under the eyes (on the position of the eye bags) and remove it after a few minutes!
Precautions:
Have you ever seen someone with small white bumps around their eyes? This phenomenon is likely caused by using oily eye creams, which block the pores and sweat glands. The situation will naturally improve when you stop using oily eye creams.
