Why does the under-eye area matter?
The area around the eyes is where we connect most with other people. Because it reflects age, health and mood most clearly, changes under the eyes are noticed straight away.
The centre of communication
In social life, and especially face to face, the eye area is where we connect most. It completes our expression as we speak and shows others whether we are tired or at ease. That is why even small changes under the eyes can alter the overall expression of the face.
What does the eye area reflect?
- Age: changes over time tend to show here first.
- Health and metabolism: changes in the body show most clearly in this area.
- Environment and diet: the effects of how we live appear under the eyes.
- Mood: our psychological state can be read around the eyes.
