Worried about under eye puffiness or dark circles?  For many people, the first signs of aging pop up in the sensitive area around the eyes.  If you’ve ever wondered if you need to use a cream, serum or mask specifically designed for the eye area, the answer is a resounding yes! 

With few oil glands located in the area around your eyes, this delicate area craves special attention.  By selecting products that target this zone, you can fight the signs of aging and restore your youthful look, returning the attention back to those gorgeous eyes.  Environmental stressors and a lack of moisture result in dull, lackluster appearance.  Strengthening the skin in this vulnerable region should be a priority, especially since this area is more susceptible to irritants.  

Some of the most common issues that plague the eye area include fine lines often referred to as crow’s feet, discoloration, puffiness from allergies or lack of sleep, and uneven skin tone.  Preparing your skin for makeup as well as nourishing and comforting this region are solid reasons for investing in products that you can incorporate into your skin care regimen easily and seamlessly.  Having said that, while building an eye care regimen is easy and simple, like with all skin care, in order to be truly effective, consistency is key.  

There is a technique to applying eye cream or serum.  Most importantly, use very gentle pressure around this fragile area.  Using a small amount of eye cream, approximately the size of a rice grain or two, use your ring finger to lightly tap or massage it into the skin, beginning at the inside corner and slowly moving toward the ear on the same side.  An important tip from the pros is to use eye cream on damp skin rather than dry to encourage better and deeper absorption. It’s also important to allow your eye cream or serum penetrate into the skin prior to moving on to the next step in your daily skincare regimen.
