Why this worksProper application of eye cream can enhance absorption and effectiveness. The skin around your eyes is delicate and requires gentle handling. Using specific techniques can help stimulate circulation and reduce puffiness, making your eye cream work harder for you.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Clean Hands Always wash your hands before applying eye cream to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria. This simple step ensures a clean canvas for your product.
  2. Use the Right Amount A tiny amount of eye cream—about the size of a grain of rice—is sufficient for both eyes. Using too much can lead to product wastage and may overwhelm the delicate skin.
  3. Gentle Tapping Motion Apply the cream using your ring finger, tapping gently around the orbital bone. This method promotes absorption without tugging at the skin, which is crucial for the fragile eye area.
  4. Focus on the Outer Corners Pay extra attention to the outer corners of your eyes, where fine lines often appear first. Lightly tapping in this area can help improve circulation and prevent puffiness.
  5. Allow Time to Absorb After application, give your eye cream a few moments to absorb before applying any other products. This ensures that the ingredients can penetrate effectively.

Where people go wrong

Many people use too much product, which can lead to irritation. Others might rub the cream in rather than tapping, causing unnecessary strain. Not allowing the cream to absorb before layering other products can also diminish its effectiveness.

The pro moveStore your eye cream in the fridge for an extra refreshing boost during application, especially if you're dealing with puffiness.

Good questions

How often should I apply eye cream?

Generally, applying eye cream twice daily—morning and night—yields the best results.

Can I use eye cream on my eyelids?

You should avoid applying cream directly on your eyelids, as this area is more sensitive; apply around the orbital bone instead.

What ingredients should I look for in eye cream?

Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, peptides for firmness, and caffeine to reduce puffiness.
