Do you know how to use eye cream correctly?

Eye cream is also a common skin care cosmetic. It has a very good effect in moisturizing the skin, can reduce dark circles, prevent eye bags, improve the skin around the eyes, and prevent wrinkles. When using eye cream, you should also understand some correct usage methods. Avoid misunderstandings when using eyewear, as this may lead to poor skin care.

How to use eye cream correctly

1. You need to master the correct technique when applying eye serum, otherwise it will further deepen the eye wrinkles

First, apply eye cream on your ring finger, use another ring finger to spread the eye cream evenly, and gently press around the eyes. Finally, gently massage in circles five to six times in the order of inner corner of the eye, upper eyelid, outer corner of the eye, and inner corner of the eye. During the process, gently press the tail of the eye, lower eye socket and eyeball. After cleansing in the morning and evening, use your ring finger to take a mung bean-sized amount of eye cream, and rub the two ring finger tips together to warm the eye cream so that it is easier to be absorbed by the skin.

2. Eye essence that can be used as eye cream can be used every day, but the dosage is generally the size of a mung bean.

Gently and evenly pat the eye cream onto the skin around the eyes in a piano-playing motion. Apply more especially under the eye socket and from the outer corner of the eye to the temple.

3. Be sure to use eye essence after using toner, and then apply face cream, avoiding the skin around the eyes

Start by gently pressing from the bottom of the eye, from the Jingming point to the end of the eye. Then press gently from above the eyes, from the inside to the outside.

4. Although the effects of essence ingredients are equivalent, facial essence cannot be used instead of eye essence

Use the tip of your middle finger to gently press starting from below the eyebrows. Then press gently along the eye socket from inside to outside.

5. Most essences contain active ingredients, so pay attention to the expiration date and storage methods on the product instructions. Some people like to put the essence in the refrigerator, but it should be noted that once it is stored at low temperature, it is best not to keep it at room temperature for a long time.

Use the tip of your middle finger to gently press the Yingxiang points on both sides of the nose to promote blood circulation in the skin around the eyes.

6. If it is not a pump type or individually packaged, it is best to use a small spoon to scoop out the essence when applying it. If there is no small spoon, keep your fingers clean and close the bottle cap immediately after use.

In weekly special care, you can also add the use of eye mask as the last step to help relieve eye pressure.

Five Mistakes When Using Eye Cream

1. Use eye cream only after the age of 25

For most office girls, they cannot leave their computers for a moment at work, and their leisure time is occupied by newspapers and movie discs. In addition, they use heating and air conditioning for longer and longer periods of time. Such a life makes the eye muscles tired. Perhaps wrinkles will come to "meet" you before the age of 25.

2. Face cream can replace eye cream

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

3. Eye cream can treat crow's feet, eye bags and dark circles

Many people use eye cream because the first fine lines appear at the corners of their eyes, or because their eyelids are swollen, and they have obvious dark circles or bags under their eyes. However, for wrinkles, dark circles and bags under the eyes, using eye cream can only prevent the eyes from aging faster, which is equivalent to "closing the fold after the horse has bolted." Therefore, the best time to use eye cream is before wrinkles, eye bags and dark circles appear, so as to prevent them before they happen!

4. Use eye cream only in the corners of your eyes

We use eye cream because crow's feet appear at the corners of our eyes, but did you know that the upper and lower eyelids age earlier than the corners of the eyes? Don’t neglect the maintenance of crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes just because their symptoms are not as obvious. Moreover, because the skin around the eyes is extremely thin, using too much eye cream will not only fail to be absorbed, but will instead cause a burden and accelerate skin aging. Just use two mung bean-sized pieces each time. Remember, apply eye cream first and then face cream. When applying face cream, be sure to avoid the skin around the eyes!

5. All eye creams are the same

After realizing the importance of eye cream, people often run to the cosmetics counter, pick out an eye cream that satisfies their quality, packaging and price, and then leave. This is a big mistake. There are many types of eye creams, targeting different ages and different eye problems. Before you buy eye cream, you must first understand what kind of eye problems you have, and then purchase it as needed, so as to avoid wasting money and not being able to solve the "face" problem.
