We all love our mothers, they are the light of our lives, our guiding way, the role model, the most beautiful women in our lives, but, should you really use the eye cream shes using? Is her eye cream the best eye cream for you too? Lets lay out the probable reasons for these.
We inherit 80 percent of our mothers skin. Is that enough basis to say that whatever works for her could work for you? Well, not necessarily. Even if you do have similar skin types, our skin changes as we age. Thus, skin that may be oily during early twenties may be drier during your late thirties. The eye cream she is using may be ideal for drier skin, a treatment which really addresses those fine lines around the eyes, and maybe those bags as well. On the other hand, your skin is still healthier as compared to hers. Her wrinkle eye cream may prove to be too rich for your skins present age, causing it to clog your pores, or give excessive oil that would leave your skin greasy and unappealing.
Another factor to be considered is the lifestyle. Do you smoke? Does she? Are you fond of sun bathing or started putting on make up too early on? Do you always forget to wash your face? Are you more exposed to pollution? There are just too many things to be considered before deciding to try what works for her.
Although there are tons of similarities between your skin, it is unlikely you could use her as a lab rat for
eye creams you wish to try. A good point with this is, if you have begun using eye creams at an earlier age, your skin will age to be healthier and better. You can also see this as a positive point since you dont have to wait for testers before you can try out an eye cream. You can just share for a while, to see if it works. If it doesnt, you wont waste an entire tub of eye cream.
