Why Everyone Needs an Eye Cream
The skin around your eye area is considerably thinner than the rest of your face, imagine the skin of your Face as a piece of cardboard and the skin around your Eyes as a piece of tissue paper, as well as being considerably thinner, tissue paper creases easily while cardboard is more resistant.
The delicate thin structure of the Eye Skin in combination with our constant movement of our eyes, and collagen & elastin loss is why the first signs of age appear around our eye area.
Eye creams are specifically formulated for the delicate under eye and surrounding area, with a thinner consistency so they can penetrate deeper into the skin to boost collagen & elastin, whereas Facial moisturisers have been designed to lock moisture in. Eye Creams are packed with ingredients to target the area specifically, this is why using an Eye Cream will give you best results!
How to apply your Eye Cream?
Treat your eyes with the love they deserve; use gentle patting or soft sweeping movements with minimal pressure (ring finger works best), no dragging or rubbing as this causes irritation and inflammation.
Apply eye cream every morning & evening after your cleanser, toner and serum, pat in a pea sized amount of eye cream using your ring fingers for minimal pressure, follow your eye cream with moisturiser and SPF (in the AM) for the rest of your face.
Pro Tip: apply Eye Cream to your ‘smile lines’ and around your lip area, as well as your 11’s between your brows.
