The mandatory use of the mask has caused the gaze to become the main protagonist of the face.
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 a pandemic in March 2020, the use of masks has become mandatory. Now, the light is beginning to be seen at the end of the tunnel with the use of masks.
The obligatory use of this accessory has caused the gaze to become the main protagonist of the face. You can no longer focus on a person’s smile or the shape of their nose. However, not everything is positive. Its use has caused the eye contour to suffer dryness and injuries due to the friction and pressure exerted by the masks.
The mandatory use of the mask has caused the gaze to become the main protagonist of the face.
For this reason, it is important to care for and protect that area of the face. Carolina Restrepo, general director of “En Privé”, explains that the first things to take into account are genetic factors, natural collagen loss, sun exposure, sleeping habits, diet, or hydration.
A fundamental step is to use make-up removers specially designed for the eye area. It is also very important to protect the skin from solar aggressions and apply eye contour from the age of 25 , since in this way the appearance of dark circles, bags, and expression lines can be avoided.
HOW TO PROTECT THE LOOK?
The first and most important step is to have a daily routine combining moisturizing, antioxidant, and collagen-stimulating products. Some of the most recommended treatments are the use of avant-garde techniques such as ocular pressotherapy, carboxytherapy, onyx radiofrequency treatment, hyaluronic acid, and vascular laser.
It is also essential to know how to choose the right mask. Carolina Restrepo recommends “choose masks that do not cause too much friction in the lower part of the eyes and place it correctly to avoid air leaks and misting.” Other solutions can be moisturizing the eyes and using night patches to help refresh, regenerate and illuminate the area after suffering damage.
The key is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a daily care routine combined with the application of specific treatments.
