Summer Eye Stress? Protect Your Skin Where It Matters Most

August is National Wellness Month and after months of sun, sweat, and screen time, your eye area might be showing signs of stress. From squinting in the sun to late nights and digital overload, summer can take a toll on the thinnest, most delicate skin on your face. Let’s reset your eye routine with proven, skin-supportive ingredients because your skin health always comes first.

Your Eye Health Wellness Routine

☀️ Morning Eye Care

Start clean: Use a gentle cleanser like our Fresh Face Cleanser to remove oil, sweat, and impurities without stripping your skin.

Hydrate + protect: Tap Cocoa Barrier Cream (CBC) around the eyes. It’s packed with:

• Niacinamide: Brightens and evens tone

• Resveratrol: Fights oxidative stress and inflammation

• Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP, AS, NS): Strengthen and restore the skin barrier

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Calms and hydrates

• Peptides: Support firmness and collagen synthesis

These ingredients work together to:

• Soothe inflammation

• Reduce puffiness

• Support the skin barrier

• Brighten the skin

Finish with SPF: Mineral-based sunscreen helps defend against UVA, UVB, and visible light, major contributors to fine lines and discoloration around the eyes.

🌙 Evening Eye Care

Double cleanse: Remove sunscreen and eye makeup with one of these barrier-friendly options:

• Oil-based cleanser – Lifts away debris and waterproof makeup

• Jojoba oil – A gentle, non-comedogenic option for sensitive skin

• Vaseline – Dissolves makeup while protecting your moisture barrier

Follow with Fresh Face Cleanser for a complete clean.

Replenish + renew: Apply CBC again at night. Key actives include:

• Palmitoyl tripeptides & acetyl tetrapeptide-5: Reduce swelling and support collagen

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Hydrates and repairs

• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: Brightens and calms irritation

• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: Soothes and hydrates overnight

Bonus: Dr. B Pro Tip: Don’t forget to take your eye cream beyond the eyes. Tap a little Cocoa Barrier Cream around the lips and on the neck- two other areas that show early signs of aging and often go untreated. It’s a small habit with big long-term payoff.
