Normally caffeine is considered to be a drink rather than a beauty product. Caffeine is the product that we take when we need to stay awake that little bit longer but now it is now a major ingredient that is in eye cream aiming to make us look younger.
Caffeine has been proved to be an antioxidant and it is for this reason that so many manufacturers have chosen to include it in their eye cream. Some of it comes from an actual coffee bean but there is also some that comes from other items that produce caffeine as well.
Caffeine has been used successfully to help bring down and keep down the swelling and puffiness that can suddenly appear at the most inconvenient times. If we don’t have enough sleep we can easily get puffy eyes and also if we don’t eat or drink the right things and find out that we are retaining water. Clearly it will not all be retained in the eyes but there will be enough there to be noticeable if there is not treatment.
It is also going to remove some of the fine lines that appear as we age. There is little that can be done to stop them beginning as the collagen in the skin gets thinner as we get older and the best thing to do is to treat them as soon as they appear. There is even caffeine eye cream that can deal with crows’ feet which are deeper than the normal fine lines.
There are many benefits to be gained from using caffeine eye cream and you will see them in a fairly short period of time. As you will know when you drink coffee it can act as a diuretic, so there will be the same sort of effect when using the cream. As it acts as a diuretic on the skin it will give the skin a much smoother feel and there is moisture left behind which will plump it up and stop the lines showing.
By doing this it will be possible to get healthy looking skin and it will be more moisturized and healthy looking. It is also going to be able to take some of the toxins out of the skin and the quicker the toxins are removed the quicker the signs of aging are going to go.
Many eye creams contain caffeine and as it works well with the other ingredients it will be possible to deal with more than one eye problem at a time. Studies have been carried out to see just how well caffeine eye cream can be and as a result of the good outcome more products are including caffeine to help reduce wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.
Lumiere Eye Cream helps to remove the dark circles that have formed under the eyes, but also takes away a lot of the puffiness and can fill in fine lines. It is classed as a bio- restorative eye cream and it is made with processed skin proteins including collagen and growth products. It works well to keep the skin looking younger and feeling softer. As it is not greasy there is no need to worry about using it just before you go out.
As there are no colors added and it does not have a fragrance this caffeine eye cream is not going to be competing with the other products you may be using that day. It does contain other ingredients including glycyrrhetinic acid and sodium hyaluronate.
Estée Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator is another product that contains caffeine and helps to improve the skin around the eyes for many women as they get into their thirties. It is ideal when it comes to working on the dark circles that appear under the eyes and can also work to bring down the puffiness. This is going to work in an even better way with the cooling ceramic applicator that will be used to apply the caffeine eye cream.
It has a seemingly endless list of ingredients including water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Di-C12-18 Alkyl Dimonium Chloride and this caffeine eye cream does have a scent to it. There are many more ingredients and they all work together to make sure that the cream works well and does not damage the eyes at all. There is a further advantage here and that is the fact that the cream comes in two different shades so it will be possible to get one quite close to your natural skin tone.
As with all creams, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to using caffeine eye cream. However, there are a few hints and tips that will make sure that you get the full benefit of the product and also don’t do any damage to the delicate area that you are trying to improve.
- Always make sure that the area is clean and dry as if there is any moisture from another product the caffeine eye cream will not be fully absorbed and therefore not fully effective.
- Some creams will have an applicator but if they do not be careful how hard you press and make sure not to do this too hard and so damage the skin.
- Don’t get the cream into the eye.
Whichever caffeine eye cream you choose to use should give good results in a short period of time and as a result leave you looking younger for longer.
