¿Por qué necesitas un contorno de ojos y cuál es el ideal para ti?

Why do you need an eye contour and which one is ideal for you?

Don't be fooled: this isn't an unnecessary cosmetic, and not just any cosmetic will do. We'll explain everything in detail.

While cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens are skincare staples , according to Daniel Jiménez, cosmetologist and technical director of Skin Generics and CEO of BeLab Services, eye contour treatments can also be very helpful . They're especially recommended if you're looking to treat specific issues like dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines, as they're formulated to deliver more effective results in this area.

How necessary is a product for dark circles?

The eye area is more sensitive due to its thin skin and unique pH . While general creams or serums can be used, specific products for this area provide more effective care, according to the expert.

Are all eye contours the same?

Eye contour care should be tailored to your specific needs. For puffy dark circles, use decongestant products; for dryness, use moisturizing formulas; and for signs of aging, use regenerative options , recommends Daniel Jiménez.

For crow's feet

To treat crow's feet, expression lines, or dark spots, it's ideal to use eye contour creams with peptides, which stimulate collagen , improve elasticity, and reduce wrinkles with consistent use, explains the expert.

Inflamed look

Puffiness in the eyes can give the appearance of tiredness or congestion. Ingredients like caffeine and vitamin K are effective in reducing puffiness, as they improve microcirculation and reduce inflammation, explains the expert.

Dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes, caused by poor circulation or thin skin, can be improved with caffeine and vitamin K. To avoid invasive treatments, peptides brighten the skin and reduce darkness , explains Daniel Jiménez.

Dry skin and cracked makeup

For dry dark circles, especially in mature skin, it is key to use moisturizing contours with hyaluronic acid , which hydrate and improve the appearance of makeup, preventing it from cracking, says Jiménez.
