Long confined to bathroom drawers, the famous blue box is getting a second lease of life. Those over 50 years old divert its use for a most effective anti-aging effect.
Nivea cream, this everyday classic, born almost half a century ago, today focuses attention on a problem that concerns the majority of mature skin: the eye contour. This fine and changing area reacts more quickly than we would like to fatigue, dehydration and the simple passage of time. The skin structure loses density, water evaporates more easily, contrasts become more pronounced and specialized products do not always meet expectations. It is in this context that the blue box comes to work wonders.
Indeed, the old versatile cream stands out for its dense texture which clings to the skin without suffocating it and for its stable composition, unchanged for decades. Users notice a more regular surface effect, a shine that bounces back better under light and lasting comfort on an area often irritated by overly active products.
However, this famous treatment is not only used to moisturize the face. It also acts on the eye contour area. And if it is particularly effective on this area, it is because the occlusive power of the product slows down water loss, its finesse prevents irritation and its ability to even out light reflection gives the illusion of a less hollow look. Dermatologists confirm these observations, recalling that weakened skin benefits from being enveloped by formulas containing film-forming agents and glycerin.
But that’s not all, what would greatly increase the benefits of this cream, it would especially be its action combined with the cold. Dermatologists note that cold applied occasionally around the eyes amplifies the effect by temporarily constricting the vessels and limiting morning swelling. To do this, simply place a tiny dab, work it between your fingers, place it only around the eyes and activate circulation with rapid taps. Then apply cold spoons, previously placed in the freezer, to your eyes to boost the effects. In short, many emphasize that this little break does as much good as the visual aspect obtained.
Skin professionals nevertheless point out that the main thing is done upstream: consistent sleep, regular sun protection, a reasonable diet of salt and alcohol in the evening, and particular attention paid to the skin barrier. In this perspective, the blue box complements a healthy lifestyle, essential for healthy and luminous skin.
