How to apply eye cream

How to apply eye cream

Are you using the correct technique?

Here is my advice. I used to tap eye cream on with a heavy tapping movement, or really massaged it from the centre outwards, forcing it to ‘make the wrinkles go away’. After studying to be a beautician, that all changed. So here is my advice.

Apply the cream by circling around the eye. Start from the outer edge of the eye. Then go under the eye towards your nose, and then up towards the eyebrow and back to the outer edge. The eye muscle runs in this direction, so you work with the muscle – not the opposite way, which could create more wrinkles (please nooo).

If you like tapping the cream into your skin, do this very gently. If you use heavy taps like I did, you could loosen the skin. The eyes & neck area have the least amount of fat, so wrinkles appear there sooner than elsewhere.
