How to take care of the eye contour ?

Often overlooked in beauty routines, the eye contour is no less sensitive. It shows signs of aging easily and can often reveal dark circles and signs of fatigue. Do you want to start caring for your eye contour again? Not quite sure how to go about it? TdeM shares its valuable advice for caring for the eye area and explains the importance of eye contour serum and eye contour care.

How do you moisturize the eye area?

The eye contour is a particularly sensitive area, which requires care with suitable eye contour serums or eye contour creams. The first rule for choosing suitable products is to know your skin type. The best eye serums will be of no use if they are not suited to your skin.

The skin around the eye is relatively thin and fragile. So you need to choose an eye contour cream that is truly suited to the issues you are experiencing. It is entirely possible to find eye contour creams or eye contour serums with different active ingredients. Here is a list of them:

– Natural moisturizing agents: this can include hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, or vegetable glycerin.

– Draining actives: to help promote microcirculation and reduce puffiness and dark circles, such as coffee extract

– Soothing substances: these help prevent tired-looking eyes.

– Antioxidants: these help fight skin aging. This way, you can effectively combat the appearance of dark circles and crow's feet.

Once you have found the product that suits you, all that’s left is to apply it. You should see the first results within a few days or a few weeks after applying the product.

Serum or eye cream?

When you decide to use moisturizing treatments to smooth wrinkles or simply improve your blood circulation, you need to choose your product carefully. So it is important to opt for an effective eye contour serum or simply a cream. Eye contour cream and eye contour serum do not necessarily have the same texture.

We won’t hide it, the eye contour cream is certainly the most used product today, especially when it is enriched with caffeine. It is made with plant extracts for a completely natural formula. It also contains coffee oil and shea butter. The texture is also smooth and more or less fluid. It’s a rather pleasant product to apply to the face.

Eye serums are more concentrated in active ingredients. You can therefore get results more quickly, if applicable. Also note that you can apply a cream morning and night right after your anti-aging or anti-puffiness serum, since it will quickly penetrate the pores of your skin.

As you can see, you don’t have to choose between a serum or a cream to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. You can perfectly give your skin everything it needs to address the various problems it faces.

How do you apply an eye contour product?

It is important to follow different steps when applying your eye contour care. Here are a few tips we can give you so you can easily apply your anti-dark-circle or anti-wrinkle serum directly to your eye contour:

• Remove eye makeup: the first step is simply to remove all makeup. We recommend choosing a suitable makeup remover. A cleansing milk or micellar water will be perfect. *
• You should then cleanse your skin, as well as the eye contour. It is important to choose a gentle cleanser and, where applicable, a product that is perfectly suited to your skin.
• Then apply the moisturizing treatment. It should be placed at cheekbone level. You should not apply your anti-wrinkle serum right at the lash line. In fact, some treatments can contain very greasy and highly irritating ingredients for the eye mucosa. For the upper area, we recommend applying it at brow-bone level. Don’t forget to apply your product using the pad of your finger as well. This will have a decongesting and smoothing effect.

As you can see, taking care of your eye contour is not necessarily complicated. Also, some natural products such as caffeine eye contour cream can be particularly interesting for blood circulation.

Where should you apply eye contour product?

Whatever type of product you choose, it must be applied correctly around the eye contour. Whether it helps fight wrinkles and fine lines or gives your eyes a brighter look, it should not be placed just anywhere:

– It should be placed on the upper cheekbone for the lower eye contour.

– For the upper area, we recommend placing it at brow-bone level.

In fact, don’t forget that your anti-aging product or your eye contour serum may contain harsh ingredients. Since the eye contour is a sensitive area, it is important to protect it as much as possible.

How often should you use eye serum or cream?

When you decide to apply an eye contour serum to the face, it should be used morning and night. In fact, it is a true ritual that you need to make part of your daily routine, where applicable.

Eye contour serum or cream is truly something we can recommend. It can help you address certain issues you may encounter around the eye area. Don’t hesitate to choose a moisturizing product based on shea butter or another similar ingredient. That way, you can easily deal with the various problems you face.
