I Scream for Eye Cream

Has everyone my age started using eye cream but me?

Jea says she has using eye cream to combat crow's feet--she is only 24!

My bestfriend, I found out just recently, has been using eye cream since she was 25.

Lanie from work, a-bit-more-that-a-year my junior, has, apparently been at it for two years now.

Kristine says 'You really need eye cream because the skin around your eyes are not only thin, but also very sensitive'--spoken like a true Wikepedian.

I did some research and....

When does a woman need to start using eye cream?
Applying facial moisturizer around the eyes is fine until, at some point in your life, temporary welts appear on your eyelids every time you use the facial moisturizer, partly due to the skin around the becoming more sensitive as one ages. This is the time to start using eye cream. Eye creams are made to be very emollient and yet does not leave residue that will leak or interact with makeup. And most eye creams are made with ingredients with less preservatives to prevent allergic reactions. Preservatives like chlorohyxadrine, thimerosal, and phenols can cause allergic reaction.

Okay. I didn't get that one. When is a welt a welt? How do you know it is a welt?

What is eye cream and at what age should I start using it?
Eye cream is designed to help protect and nourish the delicate area of the skin around the eyes. Experts say that the areas around our eyes are the most sensitive, and that it is constantly under pressure from squinting, blinking, and rubbing every single day. This is why we are told that we need to protect the area by using eye cream.However, before you rush out and buy some, it is important to know which kind of cream you need. Different eye creams do different things. Some hide and eliminate fine lines, others get rid of dark circles and some others can even reduce puffiness. There are loads of products on the market so it is important that you do your research beforehand. When choosing which cream to go with it is important to know that lightweight creams are best. Heavy cream can block up the pores and cause more problems than you started with. It is best to stick with a cream texture as that works best over serums and gels.As eye creams can set you back a bit it is important to try the product before you buy so see if you can find any samples first.

Did you notice anything there? The question was not aswered! WHAT AGE?!? Stupid Online-Q-&-A-Editor! I give up! I will just get the damn eye cream tomorrow and worry about wrinkle cream five years from now.
