ANTI-AGEING TIP #4 - Apply eye creams correctly to see results How many times have you bought something and had no idea how to use it, thinking you'll just figure it out along the way? Ok we're all guilty, especially me! But what if the way that I am using things affects the results I see, particularly if I am unconsciously using them wrong? Well I believe this may be the case with my eye cream because, to be honest, before this week I really had no idea how to apply eye cream the correct way! Lucky for you I'm a big believer in sharing wisdom, so read on below to find out how to correctly apply your eye cream to get maximum anti-ageing results!
- Place a pea sized amount of eye cream onto each of your ring fingers
- Starting about half a centimetre below the inner corner of your eye lightly press and release the cream into your skin, moving your motions towards the outer corner of your eye (along the socket bone)
- Continue to go in a circle around your entire eye (through your eyebrow area, around to your inner corner)
- Continue this motion slowly and gently for a minute, or for as long as required to relax the eye area.
- Never apply eye cream in an inwards direction (from the outer corner of your eye to the inner corner). In doing this you are pushing excess fluid into the under eye area, rather than away from it.
- Do not apply eye cream with any other finger than your ring finger. Your ring finger applies the least pressure, and as your eye area is very delicate it requires a gentle touch.
- Take time to apply your eye cream - make it your pamper time where you invest in relaxing the muscles around your eye area.
