Surely you have ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself: why do I have dark circles if I slept well? What can I do so that my eyes don't look so tired? Dark circles, swelling or that dull tone may appear even after a good night. Quiet, you are not the only one. There is a right product for that, and when you know it, you will not skip this step again: the eye contour.
What is the eye contour
The eye contour is a specific treatment for the area that surrounds the eyes. This skin is the finest and most delicate in the whole face, with less sebaceous glands and a high propensity to show signs of fatigue and aging: dark circles, bags, rooster legs or expression lines.
Therefore, you need care other than the rest of the face. Conventional facial creams may not be adequate since their texture or composition can irritate this area or be too dense and occlusive.
What is the eye contour
- Eye contour serves to treat and prevent specific problems in this sensitive area:
- Reduce bags: Thanks to draining ingredients such as caffeine or tetrapéptides.
- Decrease pigmented dark circles: through assets that improve microcirculation such as vitamin K.
- Attenuate wrinkles and expression lines: with moisturizing and reaffirming compounds such as hyaluronic acid or argirelline®.
- Contribute luminosity and rest to the look: Something fundamental when you have a Non-Stop agenda or you face the mirror after a short night.
This type of treatment visibly improves the aspect of tiredness in the gaze, prevents and treats the signs of aging such as wrinkles or expression lines, provides the hydration that this area needs without saturating it and, thanks to its light formula, it is quickly absorbed and acts just where you need it.
How to apply eye contour
Applying the eye contour is key to obtaining results. Always start with a clean and dry face. It deposits a small amount of product (equivalent to a grain of rice per eye) and replace it gently with your finger. Apply the product to touch from the tear to the outside, following the orbital bone line, without rubbing or dragging. The constancy is what makes the difference: do it tomorrow and night as part of your facial care routine.
With what finger the eye contour applies
Always use the ring finger. It is the one with the least force, so it will exert the fair pressure so as not to damage or stretch the skin. Apply with soft and never rubbed touchs.
Can vaseline be used for eye contour?
Vaseline may seem like a quick solution to hydrate, but it is not ideal for this area:
- It does not contain specific assets to treat bags, dark circles or wrinkles.
- It can obstruct the pores of the area if applied excessively.
- It has a very dense texture, not very suitable for such a fine area.
In summary, you can contribute some hydration, but It does not replace an eye contour formulated for that function.
