How To Apply Eye Cream

In order to get the most out of our face care products, we should apply them in the right way. This allows us to utilise the product to its fullest potential, and also make sure that we do not cause any damage to skin. The skin around our eyes is really delicate and so it needs some special care. Applying eye cream should not be rushed so as not to cause any damage to the skin here. Follow the steps below detailing to how apply eye cream correctly.

1. The first thing to do is make sure the skin is prepared well to receive the eye cream. This involves cleansing and toning the face using natural products like Nakin Skincare. Freshly cleansed skin will be most receptive and ready to the absorb eye cream.
2. Before actually applying the eye cream make sure that you have a great eye product. The skin around the eyes needs special care as it takes on a lot in the form of lines, puffing and dark circles. It is also susceptible to dryness and irritation. So, make sure you have the best eye cream you can. In our view this will be a natural eye cream that contains a mass of botanical extracts to hydrate, reduce puffing and dark circles, plus blur out lines.
3. Open the eye cream and tap a small amount on your ring fingers. It is important to use your ring finger as the pressure will be the lightest. Then gently tap the product 360 degrees all around the eye orbital bone of each eye simultaneously. Take your time and be sure to distribute the product evenly, so the cream reaches the whole eye area. This light tapping is also very stimulating for the skin, and the eye area, to help improve circulation. Take care not to go too close to the eye, as this could cause irritation. A good eye cream will have a light spongy consistency that will naturally seep to cover more of the skin.
4. Apply eye cream every morning and evening to cleansed skin, to provide eyes with ongoing care and treatment.

We should just say that as with everything in life, there are different approaches and opinions on the best way to apply eye cream. This feature outlines our recommendations at Nakin.

To summarise how to apply eye cream effectively, start with a pea-sized amount of product on your ring finger, which applies the gentlest pressure. Gently tap the cream around the orbital bone, starting from the inner corner of the eye near the bridge of your nose, and move towards the outer corner. Repeat this process along the brow bone, ensuring not to pull or stretch the skin. For best results, apply eye cream both in the morning and at night after cleansing but before applying your moisturiser. This will give your skin 24-hour care if it is with our eye cream. Be careful to avoid direct contact with the eyes, as if the eye cream gets into the actual eye it can cause irritation.
