Misunderstandings and correct usage of eye cream!

Who says you can only use eye cream after you turn 25? Who says face cream can replace eye cream? Who says you can only use eye cream at night? You can’t afford to hurt your beauty! Let me tell you about those misunderstandings about eye cream that you heard from others.

Myth 1: Use eye cream after the age of 25

Modern girls’ life, work and entertainment are inseparable from electronic products such as computers and mobile phones. Using air conditioners for longer and longer periods of time will make the eye muscles tired. Maybe wrinkles will come to "meet" you before the age of 25, so you can start using moisturizing eye cream after the age of 20.

Myth 2: Using facial cream instead of eye cream

The skin around the eyes is different from other skin. It is the part of the face with the thinnest stratum corneum and the least skin glands. It cannot withstand excessive nutrients. The most fundamental purpose of eye cream is to be quickly absorbed and properly nourished. Never use oily facial cream instead of eye cream, which will add unnecessary burden to your eyes.

Myth 3: Use eye cream only at night

We are exposed to more pollution, various radiations, and ultraviolet rays during the day than at night! Therefore, you should use eye cream in the morning and evening, and not use it when you remember to and not use it when you don’t remember to.

Misunderstanding 4: The texture is too refreshing, apply a thick layer

The formula proportions of a good eye cream are calculated, and the recommended dosage indicated on the label should be sufficient for its ingredients to take effect. Applying too much will not only not be more effective, but will also put too much burden on the skin around the eyes. The eye cream has strong adhesion, and even a small amount can still cover the entire eye area, so there is no need to worry about the dosage. Only continuous use can make the eye cream achieve the best effect.

The correct method and steps for applying eye cream:

First, the technique is the biggest killer of eye wrinkles after facial expressions, especially when applying thick eye cream, remember to use the quick tapping method instead of rubbing your hands horizontally. The skin around the eyes is relatively thin and wrinkles easily appear. The best skin care effect can be achieved by using the ring finger with the softest force.

Second, if you are using an eye cream specifically for removing dark circles, the effect will be better if you apply it after a hot compress. Take out an appropriate amount of eye cream, place the ring fingers of both hands together, and allow the eye cream to gradually adapt to body temperature and fully emulsify.

Third, the coverage of eye cream is also very important. The approximate range should include the entire eye socket area below the brow bone and above the cheekbones. Do not pull your eyelids with both hands. Instead, use the tip of your ring finger to apply the eye cream quickly and lightly.

Fourth, there are certain rules for the direction of finger movement, and it should be applied from the inside to the outside and upwards. The area below the inner corner of the eye is the most fragile part of the eye skin and requires more careful care. There are many glands there, and it is easy to get fat particles and wrinkles. While focusing on the care, be sure to use gentle massage techniques. To prevent crow's feet, it is best to apply eye cream to the area near the temples. Good technique is very important, ladies, please pay more attention~
