The skin which is covering most of our body is durable, tough as well as resilient. The skin has varying characteristics depending on where it is found on the body. Hence, the skin on our palms and heels is thick while the skin on our heads has the addition of hair follicles. The thin and fragile skin surrounding our eyes is extremely delicate and has some special characteristics, which are:
- It is very thin and much more sensitive than the other facial skin.
- Squinting as well as other frequent eye movements are the stressors for this area.
- This area produces very little sebum, as it has very few sebaceous glands, making it highly prone to dryness.
- Due to a dense capillary network as well as minimal fat padding, it is quite prone to puffiness.
