How To Use Eye Creams to Reduce Puffiness, Dark Circles and Wrinkles

http://www.spaboutique.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Cod...

Using an eye cream properly is critical to seeing results. Understand what it is you want to accomplish:
1.Decrease Puffiness
2. Decrease dark Circles
3. Hydrate
4. Anti-Aging

There will be a product that focus on any combination of those. Remembering to be gentle and lightly tap around the eyebone. Any closer in and you risk getting irritation. Richer creams can clog the delicate pores, causing little white bumps known as milia.

hello, thanks for your tip! After watching this, I've realized that I've been applying my eye cream the wrong way all this time. I've been using an eye cream that treats dark circles because it's rich in salmon oil, but I dont find the product very effective, in fact, it only gave me milias! I'm 20, what eye cream would you recommend for keeping my eyes youthful?

[beautytipsvancouver]

@passionholic899 You'll want to use something lighter (like a serum or gel). Eye creams are heavier and usually meant for more mature skin. You want preventative, not corrective. Using something made for more mature skin usually just causes an adverse reaction such as milia. You'll first have to identify the cause of the dark circles before picking a product as it can have different causes.

Hi I"m 23, and I"m looking for a good eyecream to treat dark circles and also anti-aging. I just bought the benefiance from shisheido and it's too rich for my eyes because is started to notice melon seeds underneath it. What products do you recommend?

[beautytipsvancouver]

@MissOctober22 Dark circles are really difficult to treat. It entirely depends on the cause of them. When you're young (as in your 20s) it's best not to use products designed for more mature skin. The reason is exactly what you are experiencing, they are too rich and can cause milia and even increased puffiness. Go for products meant for younger skin that will protect and prevent. Corrective ones will only cause issues. Look for gels or serums as opposed to creams.

i dont get it....the area where u put the eye cream was not where u get puffiness nor dark circles???

[beautytipsvancouver]

@BennyJennyJ1 Eye creams should only ever be applied along the eyebone, not any further up unless specified by the product.. The skin is very thin and delicate and the product is absorbed up into that area anyway. Applying it too high up can cause irritation or milia, the little white bumps some experience in that area. If the cream is too heavy, it can actually worsen puffiness if applied too high up.

I hope that helps!

Hi! I really really need answer! I'm 18 and since I was about 16 I've had really bad and marced undereye circles, and I exercise, eat healthy, sleep enough blablabla. But what I now realize is that I started using creams about that age, so MAYBE it's the application or products faulth! And heres my question: At day, I use a SPF cream on all the eye area, is this wrong? Because the zinc (sunprotection) has to be just where the sun hits the skin to reflect it`!? Hope for answer! :)

[passionholic899]

sorry to bug you again, but I have one more question. What is the difference between an eye cream and an eye serum?

[MissOctober22]

@beautytipsvancouver Thank you, I went back to the counter turns out i was using an eyecream meant for mature skin, ppl in their 50's.
