The skin underneath our eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on rest of our face. The reason for this is because the area under our eye doesn’t contain as much subcutaneous fat, nor does it have as many oil glands and collagen.
As a result, we may often find the following problems:
• Drier skin
• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
