Best beauty products for dehydrated eyes

Are you eyes dry, puffy or wrinkled? Here's our pick of the top beauty products to help keep your eyes fresh and pretty all year round. 

Dry eyes
Even eyes aren't immune to winter's drying effects. The outer layer of the eye produces oils to curb moisture evaporation from the middle layer. Strong winds and low humidity levels brought on by artificial heating hinder the production of these oils.

To provide temporary relief, consult a physician about using preservative-free artificial tears. Pay heed to the recommended dosage – artificial tears are intended to stimulate the production of natural tears, not replace them entirely!

Dark circles and puffiness

Take care when tending to the thin skin around your eyes. Tiredness and dehydration prompts blood cells to migrate to the surface, creating the appearance of dark circles.

This delicate area also has fewer oil glands, necessitating a need for eye creams to encourage oil production. Opt for formulas that contain vitamins A, C and K. Vitamin A controls the production of melanin, reducing the appearance of dark circles, while vitamins C and K act as antioxidants, fighting puffiness and dehydration.

"I am an Australian size 16, which is really rare in the fashion world," Robyn says. "People don’t understand that models are so, so, so much smaller than I am. I’m trying to spread body love and body positivity because the message can get lost when people are focusing on things like weight loss stories; that’s not what I’m about." Instead of focusing on extreme diet plans , Robyn concentrates on getting fit and healthy. "I think exercise is a really great combat to depression, sadness and generally not feeling good about yourself," she says. "Fitness is where you get your endorphins and how you’re going to make yourself feel empowered. I like kickboxing, swimming and SoulCycle, which is a crazy American trend of cycling in the dark to crazy music. I’m terrible at it. I enjoy yoga as well. "I get into the trends like everyone...
