The skin around the eyes is where the first signs of aging appear. Small wrinkles, dark circles, dark circles... All this is part of the normal aging process, which can be delayed a little. And a key role in this is played by creams intended for the area around the eyes, which you should start using already in your twenties. Proper care can delay the appearance of the first signs of aging for several years. And its correct application is also important. The skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive, so you need to know a few golden rules when applying cream to that area:
1. Do not overdo it
Sorry to disappoint you, but overdoing the eye cream won't make your wrinkles magically disappear overnight. And not only will it not be more effective, but a larger amount of cream could easily harm the eyes. As with any beauty product, moderation is key, and the recommended amount of eye cream is about the size of a pea.
2. Do not stretch the skin
As we have already mentioned, it is a very sensitive area of the face, so you should never stretch the skin around the eyes, or rub it roughly, because it will have the opposite effect and cause the appearance of new wrinkles.
3. Store the cream in a suitable place
Eye cream should be stored in a cool and dark place, away from sunlight and other heat sources. And for maximum effectiveness, it would be best to store it in the refrigerator after each use.
4. Allow the skin to absorb the cream
When you apply cream to the skin around the eyes, wait a few minutes before applying makeup over it. When the skin absorbs the cream, which takes approximately 3-5 minutes, the make-up will also look better and will not settle in fine lines around the eyes, reports Beauty and Health.
