Eye serum should be applied specifically to the under-eye area.
Here's a breakdown of how to properly apply eye serum, based on expert recommendations:
Application Technique
The proper technique is crucial for maximizing the benefits of your eye serum and avoiding irritation. Here’s how to do it:
- Dosage: Start with a small amount—about a pea-sized drop or less—on your fingertip.
- Placement: Gently dab the serum onto the under-eye area.
- Direction: Begin at the inner corner of your eye and work your way carefully toward the outer edges.
- Pressure: Use a light touch; avoid pressing too hard, as the skin around the eyes is very delicate.
By following this technique, you will ensure an even distribution of the product, promoting absorption and minimizing the risk of stretching or irritating the delicate skin around the eyes.
Why the Under-Eye Area?
The under-eye area is typically the main focus when it comes to eye serums, due to several reasons:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: This area is prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles, commonly known as crow's feet.
- Dark Circles: Many serums are designed to target and lighten dark circles, which often appear beneath the eyes.
- Puffiness: Eye serum can help to reduce puffiness and swelling in the under-eye area.
- Thin Skin: The skin here is thinner and more delicate, making it more vulnerable to damage.
Applying your eye serum correctly will ensure that the skin in these areas gets the care and attention it needs.
