The correct way to use eye cream If you haven't started using eye cream yet, then...

The correct way is to put a little eye cream on your fingertips and wait for it to emulsify, then slowly apply it under the eyes, and then use your ring finger to wipe from the inside to the outside, being careful not to pull the skin, and then gently pat it under the eyes to help the eye cream absorb as quickly as possible.

How to choose a suitable eye cream?

If you have oily skin and no other needs, you can try to choose a light and hydrating eye cream;

Dry skin is prone to dry lines, so try to use an eye cream with more nutrients or a more moisturizing eye cream.

Please note that if you find that your eye condition has entered the next stage of aging ahead of schedule, you should start using the eye cream needed for the next stage. You should judge based on the condition of your skin rather than simply your age!

Why can’t face cream be used as eye cream?

Since the skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face, only 1/4 of the facial skin, and the skin on other parts of the face is thicker than the skin around the eyes, facial creams are generally made thicker, more moisturizing, and oilier to facilitate effective absorption by the skin. Since the skin is thin, eye cream will be made lighter and easier to absorb. If you use face cream as eye cream, the more nutrients and oils in the cream will not be easily absorbed by the skin around the eyes, causing excess nutrition, which will become a burden on the skin around the eyes. This is why some people develop fat particles after using some inappropriate eye creams. This is the case with unsuitable eye creams, let alone moisturizing face creams.

Because the skin around the eyes is too thin, daily dry air, frequent eye movements, sun exposure and other factors can cause the skin around the eyes to be dehydrated or have poor blood circulation, which can easily lead to fine lines or dark circles. In addition to not using eye cream as face cream, you should also pay attention to the care and maintenance of your eyes.

1. Eye cleansing is an important part of eye skin care. Among women's makeup steps, eye makeup is the most delicate and complicated. At the same time, makeup products are very harmful to the skin around the eyes, so you must remove eye makeup thoroughly, otherwise long-term cosmetic residue will cause pigmentation and easily form dark circles. In addition, it is best to choose a gentle and non-irritating makeup remover to avoid irritating the skin around the eyes.

2. Hot compress can promote blood circulation and restore moisture and softness to the skin. In addition to the traditional hot towel compress, you can also use tea bags to soothe the eyes. The new eye mask is also a very good choice.

3. Gentle and slow massage can promote blood circulation around the eyes and relieve eye fatigue. Improving blood circulation through massage is beneficial to the metabolic synthesis of tissues.

4. Protect your eyes from the sun as well. Strong ultraviolet rays are an important cause of skin aging, and the skin around the eyes is particularly vulnerable due to its weak natural protection ability. Therefore, protecting the eye skin from the sun is a task that should not be neglected all year round. The SPF value of the isolation cream or sunscreen you choose does not need to be too high, around 15-25 is enough.

5. Do not wear cosmetic contact lenses for a long time. Computer users should not wear cosmetic contact lenses at all times, because the office environment is dry, coupled with the radiation from computer screens and the influence of long hours of work, cosmetic contact lenses will put a burden on the eyes, and can also cause the corners of the eyes to droop, the skin around the eyes to become tired and loose, and the eyes are prone to dryness and discomfort.

In short, eye cream is an important step in skin care and should not be ignored!
