Thalgo Silicium Eye Cream and ageing eyes

Why do our eyes age so quickly? According to the Daily Mail, researchers have found that differences in the number of oil-secreting glands in the skin explain why wrinkles are shallower in the forehead than in the outer eye area.

They suspect that the lack of oil-secreting glands in the eye area, along with a thinner inner layer of skin, may let the skin deform more easily.

When people age oil-secreting glands produce less sebum, leaving the skin without a protective layer of oil.

The skin’s ability to stay moisturised then decreases more dramatically, causing the skin to become dry and scaly.

The discovery was made by scientists at Kagoshima University and the Jichi Medical University in Japan who looked at an area known as retinacular cutis, just above the muscle layers.

Tissue slices were then prepared to look at the oil-secreting glands, or sebaceous glands, and their density, which was measured in relation to wrinkle depth.

A higher gland density led to shallower wrinkle depth in forehead samples that had thinner skin.

But no such link was found in crow’s feet wrinkles, perhaps due to the lack of sebaceous glands in that region.

‘Sebaceous gland density seems to be one of the multiple factors that prevent wrinkle deepening, and that is why wrinkles are deeper in the lateral canthus area than in the forehead,’ the researchers wrote in their study.

Using something like Thalgo Silicium Eye Cream can be effective for all those seeking an effective and long-lasting solution for puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and loss of firmness in the eye contour area.

The ultimate “lifting” treatment, this Cream of Creams helps reshape and redefine the eye contour area and correct the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness – for eyes that radiate youthful beauty.

Use: apply morning and/or evening to skin around the eyes, tapping lightly in from the inner to the outer corners of the eyes, then from the temples towards the browbones.

Active ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Silicium Complex
• Meristotheca dakarensis and Jania rubens
• Controlled-Release Caffeine
• Yeast Extract
• Marine Hyaluronic Complex

The results are that wrinkles appear filled in, as if “pushed out from within”, the features look lifted and redefined, and visible signs of fatigue are corrected. Visibly younger-looking, your eyes no longer betray your age.
