The eye area is the one area exposed to the most wrinkle buildup due to aggressive external factors such as the UV sun rays, the wind, and frost, not to mention that the skin type and heredity play a big role in this problem.

Whether you laugh or cry or simply narrow your eyes against the light, wrinkles can become a very real issue. This area around the eyes requires very special treatment with products meant to cover the needs of the very sensitive and soft tissue.

Dermatologists often recommend that you use a special anti aging eye cream on the eye area which is different from the one you would use on the rest of your face.

Most of the anti aging eye creams contain CoQ10 as a base ingredient, this co enzyme has proved healing effects on the face and neck areas. This is brought about by the plus of elasticity and light to tired and damaged skin.

Besides the anti wrinkle effect of CoQ10 in anti aging eye creams, it has been noticed that it also slows the natural antioxidant process, by providing a firmness to the tissues around that area.

It is well used with sea buckthorn oil as both of these ingredients together get rid of the free radicals at the skin level, and they also get rid of the metabolic problems of the skin cells.

What else could one add to an anti aging eye cream, I hear you ask?

Another ingredient of choice that many companies choose to promote is the natural herb extract spiruline, a blue green seaweed that is added to anti aging eye cream in powder form, it helps with tissue restoration and it also stimulates the natural cell production.

Any product that uses it as one of the main ingredients has a very positive effect on the soft skin around the eyes. Other possible herbal combo's include the use of Calendula, aloe, orange essential oils and last but not least, cucumber extract.

Cucumber is well known for its skin protective properties, so it works well in the make up of anti aging eye creams because of its unique anti inflamatory effect. It acts as a powerful decongestant and has a soothing factor particularly if you also suffer from puffy eyes.

Puffy eyes are mainly caused by acummulations of toxins in the tissues therefore you need to help your body from the inside too. Proper hydration is neccessary for you to maintain a healthy skin. Thus the orange oil used in anti aging eye cream incites the metabolism of the skin cells while also acting as a powerful antiseptic.
