You shouldn’t skip sunscreen on the eye area, not when the skin there is 10 times thinner and more susceptible to UV damage than that on the rest of the face.

But there’s no need to look for an eye cream with SPF either.
Dr Karen Soh, medical director at Prive Clinic, says regular sunscreen on the eye contour is fine – as long as the formula is safe for use on the area and doesn’t sting. “Look for the ones that say hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic – such products are less likely to cause irritation around the eyes and the clogging of pores, which may result in milia seeds or breakouts if too much is used,” she says.
Opting for a waterproof or sweatproof sunscreen will also reduce the likelihood of the product getting into your eyes. But if it does, just rinse it out with water.
