The skin around the eyes is very thin, very vulnerable and drier than the rest of the face. Dehydration lines can appear very early, and irritation can lead to a red eye contour area. The eye contour area is also constantly moving, the repetition and intensity of which weakens the skin's support fibres, causing wrinkles to appear. The dermis in this area is also low in elastin and collagen, making it a particularly sensitive area for skin aging.
