How To Apply Eye Cream The Right Way For Optimal Results
By MARY WROBLEWSKI
Eye cream is an important step in a skincare routine, but unfortunately, many people do not apply eye cream properly. The eye area is very sensitive, thin, and fragile, so it’s crucial to use eye cream correctly to ensure you target fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.
The first step is to pick up a pea-sized amount of cream with your ring finger, and with the lightest touch, dab the cream under your eye, near the inner corner. Keep applying small dots until you’ve formed a semi-circle of dots under both eyes, tap the cream into your skin and let it absorb.
Apply your eye cream before moisturizing in the morning and before bed, and always be gentle around your eye area so you do not irritate the skin. Always use your ring finger to apply the eye cream in a gentle, upward, and outward stroke.
