When to apply eye cream:
- Eye cream can be applied at various times of the day, but youll need a different eye cream for different times.
- In the morning: Use a lightweight formula, as it will feel more comfortable under your makeup. Look for a product with SPF to reduce the risk of wrinkles.
- In the evening: When you apply eye cream in the evening, the ingredients can absorb into your skin overnight. Choose a richer cream with hydrating ingredients and no SPF.
- In the morning and evening: To enjoy all of the above benefits, use eye cream at both times. Youll need two different formulas, so keep this in mind when shopping for products.
- Regardless of the time when you choose to apply your under-eye skincare products, you need to use them approximately every 12 hours.
How to apply eye cream:
- Apply eye cream after cleansing and toning your face.
- Eye cream should be applied before daytime moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Use your ring finger to spread the product around the eyes in patting motions. Dont rub the cream into the skin, as the skin under your eyes is very gentle and can be irritated easily.
- Apply a pea-sized amount of eye cream with your finger and tap it on your skin.
- Avoid getting too close to your eye, which may cause irritation and discomfort.
- Apply your eye cream after your eye serum, as the serum contains more active ingredients.
- Allow 2 minutes for the cream to soak thoroughly.
- Avoid applying eye cream on your eyelids unless the directions say its safe to do so.
- Try not to use a lot of eye cream, as the cream may enter your eyes and cause irritation.
- Use caution when actually applying products. Be gentle and avoid pulling or tugging on your skin.
