Top Tips for Smoothing the Eye Area
Tip 1: Hydration and moisturizing
Keeping the skin around your eyes well hydrated is important to maintain a smooth, plump look to your complexion. Look for moisturizers that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramide. This helps to trap moisture and improve skin elasticity.
Tip 2: Use eye cream
Adding a good eye cream to your skincare routine is essential to relax and moisturize the eye area, prevent swelling, and leave smooth, wrinkle-free skin. The skin around the eyes is delicate and tends to show signs of aging, so it is important to pay extra attention.
Tip 3: Gentle cleansing
It is important to be gentle when removing makeup or purifying the skin around the eyes. The skin under and around the eyes is thin and delicate, and excessive pressure can contribute to thin lines and wrinkles. Use a gentle cleanser to dry out and make your skin look dull, so don’t use water that is too hot or too cold.
Tip 4: Wear sunglasses
To protect your skin, it is important to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF30, but applying the skin if it is too close to your eyes can cause irritation. Therefore, it is recommended to wear sunglasses as often as possible to fully protect sensitive skin around the eyes. There’s a reason many celebrities always wear sunglasses outside, and it’s not just to protect their privacy!
Tip 5: Massage
Massage the skin around the eyes helps to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Using very light pressure and one or two fingers gently massage the area in a circular motion just around the outer corner of the eye (the cream moves inward). Do this when applying eye cream to make sure the product is fully absorbed. Check out our Facial Massage Guide here.
