Eye and Lipcare

Often, you don’t need to say anything- our emotions are relayed in nonverbal communication made by the movements of facial muscles. Our eyes and lips play a major role in letting someone know exactly how we are feeling and what we’re thinking- in fact, there are over 40 muscles of the face- 6 dedicated just to move the eyes and lids. And you’ve probably never thought about what’s involved in a simple smile, on average 12 muscles are working behind the scenes. And this is happening under the surface, stretching and moving, often overworking our facial skin- over time this can lead to wear and tear and loss of elasticity.

The eyes can have additional issues with discoloration and fluid buildup that leads to puffiness. Genetics plays a role in this as well as: allergies, lack of sleep, aging and lifestyle habits, including sun exposure. Even if you do not consider your overall skin as sensitive, it’s a good rule of thumb to recognize and treat the eyes and lips under this category. Therefore, we recommend choosing products specifically formulated to treat the delicate tissue of the eyes and lips.
