Girls,
how do you protect the skin around the eyes from the sun?
Wear sunglasses religiously?
I have to run a lot of errands every day, and at a certain point it just gets too cumbersome to take off prescription glasses and put on sunglasses:nogood:
And all of the eye creams with SPF that I have tried have either a very low SPF factor or REALLY irritate and sting my eyes:crybaby:
My salvation has been Lancome's Ultra Protection (SPF 40!!) Eye Cream WIth Pure Vitamin E. It was very gentle AND tinted:yahoo:
But it is discontinued I think ... i cannot find it anywhere!!

What do you do/ use/ wear??

i wear sun glasses but i don't have reg. glasses, i bet that could be a pain in the butt!

have you thought about gettin those glasses that tint when you go out in the sun? just a suggestion :o)

Yeah,I have one of those:yes:...
but then there's a problem of different sort - once inside they get light again VERY slowly! I am not kidding - it may take up to 15 minutes. So you're inside with dark glasses. Like an idiot.:nuts:.
And i'm one of those people who think it's rude to talk to others (while inside) and wear shades :P.....
It would just really put my mind at ease knowing that I have smth on my skin while i'm darting around town

thanks girls!
haven't tried Kiehl's yet - i'll ask them for a tester or smth when possible.
I LOVE Clarins' Protective Day Screen!!! Cannot live without it in the summer, but it does sting my eyes.
But their Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care is even more irritating!

MAC just came out with Prep+Prime with SPF 50....you read it right, 50!! LOL

I use it everyday as a foundation/tinted moisturizer base and as my facial SPF. I use it all around my eyes and it does not sting, etc.

LOVE it!

You dont really need to buy special sunscreen for the eye area, you can just use regular sunscreen for the face, but a high SPF number will help because the area has thinner skin.
