Do you know anyone with thin skin under their eyes? Us too! Everyone. Literally, every person has thin skin under their eyes. In fact, the skin under the eyes is some of the thinnest found on the human body.
So, if you're looking to plump up the skin under your eyes, know that you're surrounded by a small army of skincare aficionados who are in the same situation. In this article, the beauty experts at CAUDABIO reveal 8 simple ways to care for thin skin under your eyes for a youthful, radiant look.
What causes thin skin under the eyes?
As we just mentioned, the skin under your eyes is some of the thinnest and most delicate on your body. It's just that way, naturally.
But that doesn't explain why some lucky women have beautiful, plump under-eye skin (secret: CAUDABIO Oil ), while other women end up with bags, dark circles, crow's feet, and other wrinkles under their eyes. What's going on?
Although we all have thin skin under our eyes, some women have even thinner skin under their eyes, which can lead to unsightly results. Let's take a look at the causes of this very thin skin under the eyes.
Genetic
The main cause of thin skin under the eyes is DNA. This isn't good news because changing your DNA is... well, let's just say scientists haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Genes determine many aspects of your physical appearance—from hair and eye color to complexion and skin type—so it shouldn't be surprising that genetics also play a huge role in how thin your skin is under your eyes.
Lack of sleep
When most women think about puffiness and dark circles, their first reaction is to blame it on lack of sleep. This is more or less true.
While you sleep, your skin cells regenerate and produce two vital proteins: collagen and elastin. So, when you don't get enough sleep, your skin cells have less time to recover. This can lead to thin skin under the eyes, which sometimes causes puffiness, dark circles, and drooping eyelids.
Sun damage
It's no surprise that the sun can seriously harm your skin! When your skin cells absorb UV rays, they become damaged and can no longer repair themselves as easily as before.
On top of that, UV rays break down two crucial proteins—collagen and elastin—that your skin needs to stay healthy and youthful. Your skin is begging you to keep this in mind the next time you're about to step out into the sun!
Always apply a generous amount of sunscreen... instead of that tanning lotion we all secretly love.
Aging
Aging is basically the sworn enemy of beautiful, glowing skin. As you age, your skin simply wears out. Skin cells break down, collagen production slows down, and new skin cells are created at a slower rate.
The result? Things like thin skin under your eyes, smile lines, forehead creases, and so on. But before we start getting gloomy, we should mention that CAUDABIO Prickly Pear Seed Oil will reverse the signs of aging while you sleep!

8 Ways to Take Care of Thin Skin Under Your Eyes
We admit there's not much you can do to change your DNA or the effects of aging. But that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do to plump up thin skin! Here are the 8 most effective ways to care for thin skin under your eyes.
If thin skin under your eyes is a challenge, prickly pear seed oil is your ally for improving it. This precious oil stimulates collagen production and helps repair damaged skin cells. Apply it under your eyes to strengthen and nourish this delicate area.
Additionally, according to dermatologists, it can take up to 4 weeks for the oil's effects to become visible. Be patient and persevere for the best results.
2) Apply Eye Contour Cream
A little eye cream goes a long way in combating thin skin under the eyes. Try to find an eye cream that contains vitamins B, C, and K, as well as hyaluronic acid. These are the key ingredients for plumping up thin skin under the eyes.
Also, make sure you apply your eye cream correctly. Always use your ring finger to gently pat and apply the eye cream. Avoid rubbing and pulling the skin under your eyes, as this delicate skin is easily damaged.
3) Protect Yourself from the Sun
We've already explained how damaging the sun can be to your skin. It's obvious that you need to protect your skin from these harmful effects! Apply sunscreen before leaving the house every morning.
This is super important, even when it's cold or cloudy! If it's hot and sunny or you're spending time outdoors, reapply every two to three hours.
We also recommend wearing hats and sunglasses to protect your eyes on sunny days. This will prevent the sun from hitting the thin skin under your eyes and also prevent you from squinting, which can cause frown lines and other wrinkles.
4) Sleep Well
Here's a method for treating thin skin under the eyes that never meets with objections. Who doesn't want to sleep more?
You should sleep at least six hours a night. Aim for seven or eight hours a night if you can. It's best to sleep on your back, as sleeping on your stomach or side can cause wrinkles on your face. Here are some additional tips for optimal beauty sleep.
5) Eat a Healthy Diet
We're probably not the first to tell you that eating healthy is important. But we might be the first to tell you how essential eating healthy is for plumping the skin under your eyes!
Your skin cells need plenty of vitamins and minerals to stay strong and healthy. Without the proper nutrients, the effects of aging are only exacerbated.
Incorporate these 27 anti-aging foods into your regular diet. Remember to drink plenty of water (2 liters per day) and consume alcohol only in moderation.
6) Take Supplements
Sometimes eating healthy isn't enough. Some nutrients—omega-3 fatty acids, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), zinc, vitamin E—are hard to find in regular foods.
