The skin around the eyes is delicate and sensitive, this is one of the most vulnerable areas of our skin. It does not contain sebaceous glands, which means it does not have access to the natural way of moisturizing.
Did you know that we blink more than 10,000 times a day every day? Add to this active facial expressions, exposure to cold / heat, applying and removing makeup.
The area around the eyes is the first to show signs of aging, reacts to lack of sleep, fatigue, improper care.
So how to take care of the area around the eyes correctly?
Base
The basis for a radiant appearance, an open look - simple, difficult rules:
⋁daily routine (waking up and going to bed on time)
⋁ work and rest mode - give your eyes a rest
⋁ drinking regime (enough liquid during the day, but not before bedtime)
⋁ healthy food
⋁ physical activity (lymph flow)
We always start from the base. And remember: knowing is not equal to doing.
Cleansing
To remove makeup in the area around the eyes, you need special delicate products: gentle milk, hydrophilic oil or transforming balm
- for example, SkinMag Makeup Remover Balm. It's best to use a two-phase cleanse:
- micellar water, hydrophilic oil, milk or balm
- gel or foam for washing - for the final removal of dirt
For the skin around the eyes, we do not use scrubs, active masks, skin care products with active ingredients intended for the skin of the face and neck.
Moisturizing
The choice of cosmetics is the second basic rule.
Choose products marked “for the area around the eyes”. Don’t apply face cream in this area, because we have completely different needs here.
Application of the product: along the lower eyelid, with soft applicative movements of the finger.
⛌ Do not use rubbing, stretching movements on the skin.
⛌ Do not apply the product too close to the lower edge of the eyelid.
⛌ Do not over-apply.
If you periodically use eye patches in your care, here are a few recommendations.
The procedure for applying cosmetics
- cleansing
- toning
- patches
- moisturizing
- spf protection
The serum is applied before the cream.
In order for the patches to work effectively (for example, to help remove swelling), it is best to take a horizontal position during their exposure.
Working with disadvantages
The most common problems in the area around the eyes are swelling, blueness, early wrinkles.
Edema is the stagnation of fluid in the subcutaneous fat.
So, to eliminate edema we improve sleep, choose a comfortable pillow, drink enough water, properly clean and apply high-quality care products.
Chilled patches - in the morning, after cleansing, before moisturizing, before applying makeup.
Massage with a chilled roller - along with serum, gel or moisturizer.
To remove blue under the eyes, you need to use an eye cream Lifting Eye Cream contains four types of hyaluronic acid and olive squalane - to deliver and retain moisture in a natural way, as well as vitamin E and coleus root extract - to restore, improve microcirculation and cellular metabolism locally.
Sufficient hydration, gentle massage, regular application of patches will quickly help to correct the first changes and fight with wrinkles.
Use the stylus to lift sensitive areas of the face, plus a serum according to the needs of the skin - for example, serum concentrate (nourishes, moisturizes, promotes the penetration of products of the next stage of care, enhances them), or Anti-age Serum (pronounced anti-aging effect).
Remember: serum is always covered with cream.
Don't forget about UV protection - all year round, no matter the weather.
Be sure to wear sunscreen when you go out.
And smile more often - movement improves lymph flow. And it's useful :)
