The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the whole body, which means it is often a little more sensitive. This part of the face is therefore more likely to show signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. To tackle these problems, it is important to give the skin around the eyes extra moisture and nourishment.

Let's explore the secrets of Korean eye care and how you can take extra care of this delicate area of the face! 🔎

Korean ingredients to look for in eye creams:

In Korean skincare, eye creams are a central part of the Korean skincare routine and are characterized by being enriched with a delicious compote of natural and effective ingredients. These ingredients are carefully selected to address specific needs. Below we explore some of these exciting Korean ingredients that we at GLOWiD think you should check out, especially as they play a key role in promoting healthy skin.

Korean ingredients in eye products:

🐌 Snail secretion, a prominent ingredient in Korean skincare, is used to provide intense hydration and improve skin elasticity. Its moisturizing properties help maintain and balance the skin's moisture levels, which is essential to avoid dry and tight skin.

💛 Yuzu Fruit Extract, derived from the Yuzufruit known for its rich vitamin C content, provides incredible nourishment to the skin. Its refreshing and antioxidant properties are also protective and brightening, giving the skin protection from free radicals and a clearer, more luminous skin tone.

🧡 Ginseng, another significant ingredient in Korean skincare, is known for its amazing anti-aging properties. Ginseng is a natural herb that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and has many health benefits.
Ginseng extract can help increase blood circulation in the skin, resulting in a more revitalized and smoother skin. In addition, ginseng is said to have adaptogenic properties, meaning it can help the skin cope and adapt to stressors, which is important for maintaining overall skin health.

🍯 Propolis and Collagen are two ingredients that complement each other and create an incredible synergy. Propolis, which is a substance that bees use to build their hives, is rich in anti-inflammatory properties. Collagen, on the other hand, is known for its ability to moisturize and provide firmness to the skin, which is particularly important for counteracting the signs of aging and fighting fine lines.

🍋 Vitamin C, especially in the form of ascorbic acid, is a popular antioxidant that protects the skin from harmful free radicals. Its antioxidant effects are important in preventing skin damage and can also help reduce hyperpigmentation, resulting in a clearer and more even skin tone.

💧Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding ingredient that acts as a magnet for moisture. The ingredient has the ability to retain and absorb moisture. Hyaluronic acid is therefore a key ingredient for achieving and maintaining a well-hydrated and plumped skin.

Guide: How to apply eye cream correctly:

1. Clean your face: start with clean, dry skin. Use a gentle oil and foam cleanser to remove makeup and impurities from the eye area.
2. A little product goes a long way: Eye creams are powerful. Use a small amount, usually the size of a grain of rice or a pea.
3. Application: Gently dot the eye cream around the eye area with your ring finger, starting from the inner corner and working your way outwards. Avoid rubbing or pulling.
4. Massage: Massage the eye cream into the skin in small, circular motions from the inner to the outer corner of the eye with your ring finger.

By incorporating these tips into your daily skincare routine, you can give the delicate skin around your eyes the extra love and care it deserves. 💞
