HOW TO APPLY EYE CREAM

Eye cream is an important  component of any skincare routine.  Unfortunately many people neglect their eye area, and avoid using eye cream until it is too late. It is virtually impossible to erase years of neglect once crow’s feet has set in. That’s why it’s best to start caring for the skin around your eyes at a young age, as it will help prevent the formation of premature lines and wrinkles in later years. 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF EYE CREAM?

The skin around the eye is quite fragile and extremely delicate, and should be given the utmost care.  It is also prone to dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. Using eye cream helps to keep the skin supple, well hydrated, and also prevents the onset of crow’s feet.

WHEN SHOULD I USE EYE CREAM?

I was taught to use eye cream at the tender age of nineteen, and have been using it ever since.  It is best to apply under eye cream twice a day for maximum benefits, especially if you wear eye makeup.  Using eye makeup and other beauty tools in the eye contour area manipulates the skin, thus accelerating the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. 

HOW TO USE EYE CREAM

  1. Eye cream should always be applied to clean skin.  After washing your face make sure that all traces of makeup and other products have been thoroughly removed.
  2. Gently towel dry your skin.
  3. Eye cream is usually the last step in a skincare routine and should be applied before sunscreen during daytime hours. It is typically applied after using a toner, serum, and moisturizer.
  4. Take a small peas size amount of your preferred eye cream, which should be enough to cover both eyes.
  5. Distribute the eye cream on both of the upper and lower eyelids using your fingertip.
  6. Use a gentle patting motion to spread the eye cream along the the eye contour area, taking care not to rub. Patting increases the blood flow to the eye area, and prevents fine lines and wrinkles from forming. 
  7. Use the index finger and move slowly from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye on both eyelids.
  8. Continue the patting motion until the eye cream has been fully absorbed.  
  9. Repeat this process twice a day for both  morning and evening routines.

FINAL TIPS ON HOW TO APPLY EYE CREAM
  1. Make sure to choose an eye cream that addresses your skin concerns.
  2. Remember to always go for an eye cream that is hydrating, and penetrates the skin easily. 
  3. Try to avoid using makeup tools around the eye as much as possible.
  4. Don’t forget to get as much sleep as possible, as this helps to diminish under eye circles and keeps you looking refreshed.  
  5. If you suffer from puffy eyes try decreasing your salt intake, as this can exacerbate puffiness.
