If you're in your early or late twenties you may have asked yourself: Should I start using an eye cream? While the answer is different for every person, there is no doubt that taking care of the delicate skin around your eye is important – no matter how old you are. Here are our top five eye creams and treatments to use in your 20s.
Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
Perfect for: Dark circles
Why it Works: Every time Clinique comes out with a skincare product I always feel like singing Hallelujah! They are no doubt one of the best skincare lines out there that work and are affordably priced. This corrector made me fall in love two ways. First, by actually lightening the dark circles and dark spots in the corner of my eyes and secondly, by reducing puffiness under my left eye with its cool to the touch, oil free formula. You’ll fall in love too, you’ll see.
The Body Shop Aloe Vera Eye Defense
Perfect for: Everyday use
How it works: You can trust in The Body Shop to provide an eye defense gel made out of one the best natural ingredients: aloe and you will be extremely glad that you for using this gel cré¨me around the sensitive areas of your eye – especially after pulling an all-nighter. Besides the soothing aloe vera, this eye treatment contains oat extract and sesame oil, two additional natural ingredients that are safe to use on sensitive skin.
Philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye and Lip Cream
Perfect for: Smoothing and fine lines
Why it Works: I first tried this product when I was 22-years-old – the same time I noticed my first under eye fine line. Much like the whole Philosophy skincare line, this product is all about taking care of the skin with nourishing add-ins like Vitamin C and E and it provides excellent absorbent moisture for that area. Bonus: this product is also a lip cream and offers the same effective benefits.
Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Eye Cré¨me
Perfect for: Firming and brightening
Why It Works: I know this article is mainly geared for those of us in our 20s but I actually started using this product through my mom. Yes, although we are completely different in age, I find Estee Lauder is one beauty company that understands that it doesn’t have to do with age – its just about taking care of your skin. I am a big believer in going for the more thicker and richer cré¨me’s so I knew I would fall in love after the first few weeks. The best thing benefit about this product is how it visibly firms around the eye, while illuminating it, which is perfect for those who want to brighten that often dull eye area.
Olay Regenerist Daily Eye Treatment Anti-Aging Roller
Perfect for: Anti-aging and Everyday use
Why It Works: I’ve had friends who say “Why do you use an anti-aging eye cream when you still look 20?” While I still look like I’m in university (thank you, good genes), there is absolutely nothing wrong with starting early in my efforts to age gracefully. With a healthy diet, a good exercise regime and an eye treatment like Olay’s you can use everyday, you’ll be top of the beauty class and it will show!
