How To Apply Eye Serum For Best Results

The area around our eyes is naturally thin and delicate. This area is also prone to dullness and dark circles. This area is also the first place where fine lines and wrinkles show up. The skin under our eyes becomes less elastic as we age. It will gradually lose moisture, elasticity, and strength too.  We have to start taking care of the skin underneath the eyes early if we want to prevent premature aging. One of the most effective products that we can use to address these problems are eye serums. Made with powerful and cutting-edge ingredients, the eye serums can provide maximum results to counter common eye concerns. Such problems include fine lines, under-eye circles, and puffiness. When you want the eye area to look firmer, brighter, and more lifted, eye serums can do that.

What Is Eye Serum?

Specially formulated, eye serums are part of the products for skincare. Eye serums have a light texture and consistency compared to eye creams which are often thicker and heavier. Some of the common ingredients found in eye serums include brightening vitamin C, retinol as well as niacinamide. Besides being easily absorbed into the fragile skin around the eye area, the serums are great for repairing the skin as well. 

 Benefits of Eye Serum

So what can eye serums do? Apart from minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, it can help with reducing crows feet as well as fine lines too. Enriched with a smoothing and firming effect, the eye serums are effective in reducing the appearance of aging. The eye serums can also lift sagging and folds in the skin while blurring fine lines and wrinkles. When you use eye serums daily, you will have firmer and brighter-looking eyes in no time. 

How Do You Apply Eye Serum?

Make sure that you have washed your face properly before applying any products. Doing this will prevent harmful bacteria from getting onto your skin and cause breakouts. Wash your face with cold water because using hot water can dry out the skin. The best time to apply eye serum onto cleansed skin is once in the morning and once at night. Because the skin around the eye is very delicate, you may want to use your ring finger to tap and blend the serum gently onto the skin.  Our ring finger is the weakest finger on the hand, so it will give a gentle touch.

Start at the inner corner of the eye and then dot the serum along the eyelid crease to the outer corner. Do the same and spread the serum along the temples and under the eyes. Be extra careful not to put too much serum because they are very potent. Too much serum may cause irritation to the skin or eyes. Apply the eye serum at the corners of the eye if you want to target the wrinkles. The dabbing gesture is also like a massage that can improve blood circulation. Here’s a tip – Do avoid applying serum onto the eyelids. As the serum moves throughout the day and night, you would want to avoid letting it get to the lashes because it can transfer to the eye and cause irritation.

Before you apply other products, always wait for the eye cream to absorb into the skin first. So do wait for about two minutes before you apply concealer or other skincare products.
