Eye Cream for Very Dry Skin

A co-worker of mine recently asked me to recommend an eye cream for her. She has an oily T-Zone, yet is extremely dry around her eye area and cheek bones. She has tried many different eye creams and so far, nothing has done the trick.

Some tips in case you might be having the same issues: Make sure you’re hydrating yourself by drinking plenty of water. Watch how much caffeine you take in everyday, as this dehydrates you. Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages also take a toll on your skin, not only dehydrating you but also accelerating the effects of the body’s aging process.

A booster or a serum geared specifically for dry or dehydrated skin will increase the moisture benefits of your eye cream. Serums have a smaller molecular size than other skin products, so they can penetrate deeper into the skin. Try SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel along with their Eye Balm Triple Age Defense or BioMedic Hydrating Serum.

Don’t forget to incorporate a moisturizing mask 1-2 times a week. You can even put a serum or a booster underneath your mask. The mask will enhance the effects of your serum, leaving you more moisturized.

Also, to keep your T-Zone in balance, I suggest trying Babor's Perfect Combination T-Zone Control. It helps regulate oil production and shrinks enlarged pores.
