How To Take Care Of Your Eyes With An Under Eye Cream?

Signs of ageing like wrinkles, dark circles and dullness begin to appear primarily around one specific area- under the eyes! It’s because the skin around this area is thinnest and goes through a lot of stress. At times like these, taking good care of your under eye becomes essential. And what’s better than using a potent under eye cream.

Let’s understand how an eye cream alters the appearance of your under eyes and makes them look younger than ever! 

How Does An Under Eye Cream Work?
Under eye creams contain specific ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid and peptides, which are crucial in targeting your under eye concerns. For instance, retinol helps in the skin renewal process and hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin. All of which help in diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and dullness present under the eye.

How To Use An Under Eye Cream
Here’s the correct technique for applying an under eye cream to achieve the best results.

1. Take a pea-sized amount of the eye cream on your ring finger.
2. Smoothly dab the product under your eyes.
3. Start from the inner corner and gently work towards the outer corner of the under eye.
4. As you reach the outer corner of the under eye, gently lift up the area.

Refrain from rubbing or dragging the product. This can cause irritation and won’t provide you with the desired results. The key here is to be as gentle as possible. Also, do not use excessive eye cream.

Additional Tips For Under Eye Care

• Look For Active Ingredients
  Eye care with active ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamin C work flawlessly in tackling dull under eyes. Lancôme Renergie Eye Cream Multi-Lift Ultra Eye Cream contains hyaluronic acid which strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier and plumps your under eyes.

1. Remove Your Makeup
   Sleeping with your makeup on is a big no! It can not only clog your pores but also contribute to premature signs of ageing under the eyes. Hence, it’s best to use a gentle makeup remover like Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover which gently removes makeup present on your face.

2. Sun Protection
   The harsh UV rays can cause severe damage to your under eyes and your skin overall. Thus, it’s mandatory to apply sunscreen! Use the Lancôme UV Expert Aqua Gel Sunscreen which offers SPF 50 PA++++ protection. Likewise, wearing sunglasses can provide additional protection to your under eyes whilst making you look chic.

3. Gently Massage Your Under Eyes
   If your biggest skin concern is dark circles then a gentle massage can be quite beneficial for you. Gently massaging your under eyes aids in improving blood circulation in the area. This in turn reduces dark circles and helps in depuffing your under eyes too. You can also use a serum like Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux Light Pearl Eye & Lash Concentrate which tackles eye bags and offers brighter, younger-looking eyes. 

Now that you know the importance of under eye care, it’s time to pick the perfect under eye cream for yourself. Your beautiful eyes deserve nothing but the best!
