Eye Care

How often should I use an eye cream or serum? Eye creams should be used every morning and night for the best results. If you want to make using eye cream an essential part of your beauty routine, make sure you place the cream close to your usual moisturiser on your bathroom shelf to remind you to apply it, and apply it afterwards. As a rule, the more you use an eye cream, the more likely you are to see results from it. Can eye creams help with puffiness and crow's feet? Yes – if you invest in a good quality eye cream or serum, you will instantly start to hydrate the area under the eye much more. This area is very delicate and the skin is very dry. By hydrating the under eye area and the areas around the eyes, your skin has more elasticity and you are less likely to suffer from wrinkles. How do I apply eye cream? Take a pea-sized amount of eye cream and apply it to your under eye area using your ring finger. Work from the end of the brow and head towards the under eye area. Don't put it on your eyelids, and avoid the innermost corners of your eyes. What ingredients should I look out for in eye creams and serums? Good ingredients to note include caffeine and hyaluronic acid, which are both great for hydration and retaining moisture. Retinol helps encourage cell growth and regeneration, and Vitamin C helps to build collagen. If you need extra moisture, Vitamin E is an excellent nourisher. If you need help with dark circles and bags, look out for formulas containing green tea, cucumber, aloe, arnica and Kojic acid.
