The surprising technique for a more youthful appearance (you'll never guess how to do it)
The eye contour area is the most fragile part of the face, yet we often forget it in our beauty routine. Using the right skincare products and targeted techniques not only protects this delicate area, but also decongests and lifts the eyes. Discover the essential steps for applying your eye contour product correctly and maximizing its benefits.
Prepare the skin before any application
It is essential to gently cleanse your skin and then apply a suitable toner. This preliminary step prepares your skin for eye cream and all the other products in your skincare routine.
- Why it's crucial : The skin around the eyes is more permeable and receptive, so it is important to remove any impurities in order to maximize product absorption.
An additional tip
- Apply eye cream before cream day or night : thus, the formula acts directly on the targeted area, without being diluted or slowed down by other products.
Smooth the area to prevent wrinkles from appearing.
- The movement : Apply a small amount of product to your fingertips (index and middle fingers). Then gently smooth over the lower and upper areas, always working from the inner corner of the eye outwards.
- The landmark : Use the orbital bone as a guide, taking care not to get too close to the mucosa.
This technique allows the product to be evenly distributed and smooth the skin, while respecting the fragility of this area.
Activate microcirculation to reduce puffiness and dark circles
- Light tapping : Using your ring fingers, gently tap under the eye to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation.
- Benefits : by promoting drainage, you limit blood stagnation under the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of dark circles and pronounced puffiness.
Tip
For an enhanced decongestant effect, some treatments contain active ingredients such as caffeine or green tea, known for their action on puffiness and discoloration around the eyes.
Relax the temple area to smooth crow's feet
- Gentle stretching Place one hand just above your opposite temple (by bringing your arm over your head) and perform gentle upward stretching movements.
- Desired effect : release tension on the outer sides of the eye and reduce expression lines in this area.
Why it works
The muscles around the crow's feet tend to contract throughout the day. By massaging and stretching these muscles, you help them relax and maintain skin elasticity.
Open your eyes and raise your eyebrows
- Upward movement : still with your opposite arm above your head, gently place your hand above the affected eyebrow. Then apply light upward pressure.
- Be careful with the eyelid Do not pull directly on the skin of the eyelid itself. The goal is to work the frontal muscle without damaging the thin skin covering the eye.
In conclusion, Caring for the eye area requires precise movements and a suitable contour treatment. Between thorough cleansing, gentle tapping to stimulate microcirculation, and targeted stretching to release tension, you can give your eyes a complete anti-aging routine. Adopting these techniques on a daily basis can make all the difference for a visibly fresher, more awake look that is protected from premature aging.
