How to apply eye cream the right way?
Eye creams are a non-negotiable part of skincare routines. Given that the area around the eyes is more sensitive than the rest of your face, it is highly prone to damage. From dark circles to wrinkles, fine lines to eye bags, there are a lot of issues that occur. The reasons for these damages can vary from ageing to sun exposure, genetics to unhealthy lifestyle, etc. Irrespective of the reasons, the best way to reduce existing damage and prevent any further ones is to start using an eye cream regularly. However, skincare products' benefits can be yielded to the fullest only if they are applied properly in a way the skin absorbs the ingredients and reduces the damages.
To get the maximum out of your eye cream, here is how you can apply it:
How to choose my eye cream?
Choose a lightweight matte eye cream. A sheer eye cream acts as contour care and is great under makeup.
What ingredients to look for in your eye cream?
Clean, natural eye cream targets wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. Some of the ingredients to look for in your eye cream are:
Antioxidants, like Squalane: It prevents UV damage and the formation of age spots, excellent moisturizer and lubricant
Collagen: When an eye cream is collagen infused it acts as an anti-aging cream and reduces the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles.Â
Aloe Vera: Helps replenish skin and retain moisture, hydrating, improves skin’s natural firmness
How much eye cream to use?Are you supposed to put eye cream on your eyelids?
It is not recommended to apply the eye cream on your eyelids unless the directions on your eye cream says to do so.
When should I apply eye cream?
For best results apply your eye cream every day morning and night. Apply it after cleansing and toning and before moisturizer and sunscreen.Â
Do you apply eye cream before or after moisturizer?
Apply eye cream before daytime moisturizer and sunscreen. This is the general norm because eye cream is usually light, and the heavier formulas should go after light ones.
Apart from these tips, always wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen. Drink sufficient amounts of water and always remove eye makeup before going to bed.
Start following these steps right away, and you will notice significant changes within a few days. While it's advisable to start using eye creams as early as possible, it's never too late, so start including eye creams to your skincare routine right away.
