Bags, dark spots and wrinkles

Taming the contour of your eyes

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your face and the most active (did you know that you blink approximately 10,000 times a day?), so signs of fatigue and aging develop quickly in that area. Here's a quick guide to help it fight back!

1. Use custom care products

Products designed especially for the contour of your eyes offer many benefits:

  • Their formula isn’t as rich as that of your face cream, and is absorbed more easily: it keeps your eyes from swelling, and reduces risks of itching or tears.
  • They stimulate blood circulation in the tiny vessels and help drain lymph – which is essential to reduce bags and the appearance of dark circles.

To get the best effect, apply them immediately after cleaning your face.

2. Start with a serum

Formulated with moisturizing and revitalizing ingredients (hyaluronic acid, retinol, argireline, etc.), this highly concentrated cocktail will maximize the effectiveness of other products. Apply a small amount two times a day to start your routine. It will help…

  • Plump the skin around the eyes;
  • Regenerate it;
  • Counteract the fading caused by lack of sleep, aging or environmental stressors.

3. Use the right cream at the right time

Like the rest of your face, the contour of your eyes needs to be moisturized morning and night.

  • For daytime use, choose a nourishing formula that stands up to wear and tear.
  • Before bed, pick a complex that helps repair cells and limits water retention.
  • If your eyes are itchy, tear up easily or are affected by problems like eczema, use hypoallergenic formulas for sensitive skin.

To help the cream penetrate in your skin, gently tap it from the internal corner to the top of the cheekbone. Avoid going too close to the eye: you don’t want to cause any irritation.

Are your eyes swollen when you wake up? Keep your care products in the fridge: colder temperatures stimulate blood flow, so they help decongest the contours of your eyes quickly. That's why certain products come with cold, metal applicators.

4. Keep patches handy

Not getting enough sleep? Do you rub your eyes vigorously during cleansing? Call patches to the rescue! After applying your serum and cream, leave them under your eyes for about 20 minutes (their super fresh effect will make you want to keep them longer!). Their smoothing and soothing ingredients will combine with those of the other products to fade signs of fatigue, inflammation, dehydration and fine lines.

A few extra tips to pamper your eyes

  • Remove makeup gently with the proper product, one that covers your lashes. If your mascara resists, rubbing harder won't help! You're better off leaving a couple of makeup-remover towelettes on each eyelid for a few seconds.
  • For optimal irrigation throughout the night, slip a pillow under the end of your mattress to raise your legs a little. It will increase circulation towards your head.
