An Eye Cream for Every Skin Occasion

I've been using eye creams for as long as I can remember, mainly because I have quite bad dark circles (half from being a poor sleeper and half inherited - thanks Mum). I've come to learn since that there's not a huge amount that eye cream can do when it comes to getting rid of the darkness in the long term, but in the short term it can deliver hydration, brightness and improve the texture of the most delicate area of the face. I've amassed a little stash of eye creams and realised I have one for every skin occasion... 

For sensitive skin days

Organic Surge Hydrating Eye Cream 20ml* - £18.50 

With 98% of the ingredients coming from natural sources and a very lightweight, creamy formula, the Organic Surge Hydrating Eye Cream is perfect for when my eyes are feeling sore or my skin is feeling sensitive and delicate. Ingredients include Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. It's an extremely gentle formula that still brings a much needed moisture boost to the skin, without having to overload on product. The cream dispenses with an in-built pump, so it's very hygienic too if you don't like dipping your finger into a pot.

For normal skin days

Benefit b.right It's Potent! Eye Cream 14.2g* - £25.50

I admit that when it comes to skincare I forget that Benefit has its own range and I've been pleasantly surprised by Benefit's b.right It's Potent! Eye Cream. It contains a peptide complex to help restore elasticity and firmness and a blend of botanical extracts, such as apple extract, to help boost collagen. The formula is of a medium consistency and super creamy; after applying with my ring finger, I notice that my dark circles look a touch brighter and the skin is plumper. It's perfect for mornings when you wake up after a restless night with what looks like black hollows under your eyes!

For dry skin days 
Indie Lee Calendula Eye Balm 0.5oz - £32.00
In the beauty world balm formulas are renowned for their intensive, hydrating boosting effects and when my skin is dry and dehydrated, I reach for the Indie Lee Calendula Eye Balm. Containing  ingredients like Beeswax, Calendula Oil, Mango Seed Butter, Squalane and Avocado Oil, this solid balm softens into an oil with the warmth of your finger and so a little really goes a long way.  It does take a little while to absorb but the result is extremely nourished skin. Calendula also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it's a great product to use when you're super tired and your eyes are red and puffy.
