Applying eye cream correctly is essential to maximize its benefits and avoid irritation. Follow these steps for the proper application:
- Clean your hands. It's crucial to start with clean hands to prevent bacteria from getting into your eyes.
- Use a pea-sized amount. A small amount of eye cream goes a long way.
- Warm it up. Gently rub the eye cream between your ring fingers to warm it up, which helps it absorb better.
- Gently pat it on. Apply the cream using your ring finger and gently pat it around the orbital bone, from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner, and up onto your brow bone.
- Avoid rubbing or pulling. The skin around your eyes is delicate and sensitive. Avoid rubbing or pulling the skin as this can cause wrinkles.
- Apply after moisturizer. Generally, you should apply eye cream after your moisturizer but before sunscreen.
Remember, consistency is key. Apply eye cream daily, both morning and night, for optimal results.
