Eye cream happens to be one of our very favorite skincare products. If you have dark circles, puffiness, and/or crow’s feet, using an eye cream as part of your daily beauty regimen may help.
One easy rule of thumb to keep in mind is that usually, you should apply products based on thickness. If your eye cream is richer and heavier than your moisturizer, it should go on top. If it’s lighter than your serum, make sure it goes under your moisturizer. Of course, always check the instructions on your eye cream’s packaging.
If you want to get the most out of your moisturizer, you should apply it to damp skin. That’s because applying moisturizer to wet or damp skin can help lock in hydration, and the same rule can be applied to eye cream. So, before toweling off after using your facial cleanser, dab the cream onto the skin under your eyes while your face is still damp.
The skin surrounding the eyes is the most delicate skin on your face, so there’s no reason to handle it roughly. Instead, blend eye cream out with gentle patting and tapping motions, using just the pad of your ring finger, which has a more delicate touch compared to your other digits.
