We spend much more time these days looking at computer screens, television and other handheld devices than ever before. If we want our vision to stay fit we need to pause every once and a while for a few cumulative self-care moments. Additionally, healthy habits that support our vision will also work to help the entire eye area. Helping the skin around the eyes, while improving good looks, will also actually help maintain good vision.

12 Self Care tips for your Eyes

Do I need an eye cream?

Dryness (vata) and heat (pitta) are two aspects that can be helped with the correct eye cream.

Dryness

A well-formulated, natural eye cream can provide support for the delicate skin around the eyes, and can have a powerful rejuvenating effect. The skin around the eyes is ten times thinner than the rest of your facial skin, and getting thinner with age, as vata increases. That skin is usually more sensitive and especially vulnerable to free radical damage (from environmental exposure, unhealthy lifestyle choices, stress etc).

There are very few oil glands around the eyes thus less natural moisture present. This is why eye creams are usually richer and more moisturizing than your regular facial cream.

Shankara Anti-Age Eye Cream, being formulated along Ayurvedic principles, can also help balance the fire element in the eyes. Have you ever wondered why people use cucumber slices on the eyes during facials? According to Ayurveda the eyes are Pitta in nature which simply means that there is a lot of heat naturally present. Cucumbers are known to be very cooling and revitalizing and do bring great relief to any eye irritation. Rose is also very soothing and regenerating and is wonderful for the eyes.

Both cucumber and rose are foundational in Shankara’s Anti-Age Eye Cream.

There is also an abundance of sodium hyaluronate to help reduce fine lines caused by dehydration. Sodium hyaluronate is the most effective humectant available, and has the ability to bind moisture in the amount of one thousand times its molecular weight. This skin regenerating formula contains over 40 active ingredients including the powerful antioxidant CoQ10.

How to apply an eye cream correctly

To avoid stretching the skin around the eyes, dab lightly using your ring finger (you will usually use less pressure) and move from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye and then complete your circle going over the eye lid and back to where you started.
