I’m a Beauty Blogger But…

…I never used to wear eye-cream up until now!

I know it’s like a skincare sin but even though I have a super complicated skincare routine with double cleansing, applying a gazillion serums and regular facials I just couldn’t ever be bothered with eye-cream and it still is a bit of a struggle sticking to using an eye cream.

Whether eye-cream is necessary or not will always be one of the biggest debates in skincare along with lactic acid vs glycolic acid, how often we should get facials and whether stuffing your face with chocolate and pizza causes acne. But after talking to my mum, my resident skincare expert and trained beautician she told me to either use an eye cream or nothing at all. Usual moisturiser is just too heavy for the skin around the eyes which is 40% thinner than the rest of skin. So from then I vowed to never neglect the precious, delicate skin that sits under my eyes and I’ve now developed a few favourites:

    Do these products have SPF if we shouldn’t put normal moisturiser on our under eyes?

    • Hafsa Issa-Salwe

      Good question! Nope, they don’t have moisturiser but you should apply SPF over your moisturiser anyway if there’s no SPF in your moisturiser so I’d still apply it over the eye cream.

        Salam! Thanks for the reply….guess what I found? A sample of the balance me wonder eye cream in my wardrobe. It has loads of natural ingredients like fruit oils etc and I have been using it since Tuesday.

      They’re all great, but the Murad and Alpha-H are more suited for crows feet.
