Your skin's condition can be affected by many things: insomnia, smoking, and stress. What you may not know is that the skin around your eyes is especially sensitive.

Not only are they affected by these stressors, but they're subjected to lots of movement like blinking and squinting -- all of which cause it to quickly lose its elasticity.

If you're concerned about the condition of your skin then here are some tips that will make caring for it much easier.

When applying cream, first make sure the area is completely clear (but don't rub with a sponge) before carefully applying the cream by following your skin's massage lines. Avoid your upper eyelids and lashes to prevent the product getting in your eyes (unless the product says it's safe).

With the skin-washing products out there today, choosing soap is pointless unless you want dry skin. If soap is your only option then remember to use a moist cream or grapeseed oil afterward.

UV damages your skin and can cause dark under-eye circles if you're not wearing sunscreen or sunglasses, so use them whenever possible.

Sunlight and poor eyesight causes squinting which puts stress on the skin around your eyes, causing problems like wrinkles. It's for this reason that you should wear sunglasses in the summer and use glasses and contact lenses if your eyesight isn't great.

Cosmetic oils are quickly absorbed by the skin and are good for massaging around your eyes. This helps prevent skin deformation and stretching.

Wrinkles are usually just a reminder that your skin needs attention, often appearing due to tiredness, UV-light exposure, and dryness. They will go away with basic products, so you shouldn't worry just yet.

Using too much cream cause it to get in your eyes and cause swelling. Remember: you only need a rice grain-sized amount of cream for this particular area.

Water is vital for many components of your body -- including your skin. Drinking water (and getting enough rest) helps greatly, so ditch any habits that are preventing your skin from looking its best.

We don't often think about what we put on our skin, but it's a general rule that safer ingredients lead to less severe consequences. Read your product's ingredients, and if even one element seems off, look elsewhere or ask a professional.

There's a reason cosmetic products are divided into different groups. Since there are many skin types, find a product that works for yours for it to work properly. You should also remember how sensitive the area around your eyes are as it may require a special approach

Since no skin care product offers instant results, you should be consistent with your usage to ensure maximum effectiveness. The easiest way to do this is to apply cream to this area every day in the morning and at night.

Scrubs and peels aren't preferred when treating the skin around your eyes due to it being thinner. If a scrub is what you're looking for then see a professional.

No single product can solve all of your skin care problems, so use multiple products with specific purposes. For example, buy a product that specifically relieves dark circles under your eyes (as long as it's not a moist cream). Choose specific products for each problem for maximum efficiency.

Tonic is great for moisturizing, and putting some on your skin for 5 to 7 minutes is a great idea. If you don't have any, put ice on every morning and evening.
