Eye contour: what is it and how is it cared for?

The area around the eyes is the thinnest skin on our body, which makes it more permeable, sensitive and reactive than other areas of the skin.

For this reason, it is an area that easily inflames, causing dark circles and bags , and suffers as a result of external agents (pollution, sun, seasonal changes). Also with the passage of time and the gestures we make when expressing ourselves.

Without a doubt, it is an area to which we must pay close attention and which must be especially careful. That is why it must be borne in mind that not just any cream is valid, it must be a product designed to apply to the eye contour.

Why use eye contour? Its formulation is prepared for the area, and we should start using it from the age of 25 , when the first lines of expression begin to appear .

• The pH indicated to avoid allergic reactions.
• Contains more specific active ingredients to combat problems.
• Antioxidants for the treatment of dark circles
• Draining and anti-inflammatory ingredients that improve circulation and improve bags.
• Less amount of perfume.
• Ocular toxicological profile of each ingredient.

Experts recommend using it in the morning and at night , before applying the moisturizer. In the morning, it will serve to decongest the area after sleeping, and at night, it will hydrate and nourish .

When choosing a product for this area, we must also take into account what exactly we want to treat:

• Dark circles or bags. Choose an eye contour in gel format, a serum that will penetrate your skin very easily or an eyeliner. This type of texture contains decongestant active ingredients. We even find formats with a head, roll-on ball, to drain or cold steel, which help the circulation of the area.
• Crow's feet .  Choose an anti-wrinkle and anti-aging eye contour and massage the wrinkle in circles so that the wrinkle groove is well impregnated. In addition, the application of a serum will help a lot to solve this problem.
• Flaccidity. Contour with lifting effect. With soothing properties.

There are also foods that can help us improve the eye contour, thanks to its draining properties. Asparagus, cucumber or pineapple can be good allies, since they prevent fluid retention.

We must not forget genetic inheritance . If in our family, the genes tend to the presence of dark circles, crow's feet, etc., we already know in a high percentage, that in our generation, it will also be repeated. And since we have that advantage, let's not wait until they show up and address the issue in advance.

How to apply eye contour

The key question is: where should we apply it? This will make the difference in achieving better results.

The answer is in the eye socket, where you touch bone . You should avoid the lacrimal area and the upper eyelid, as this area is more oily, and over-hydrating it can cause swelling and folds. Do not forget the side of the eye: apply it on the crow's feet.

If you want, you can put it on the upper eyelid, just below the eyebrow, but not on the eyelid.

And how should we apply it? Well, very easy: The movements have to be like a "click" or gentle pressure, without smoothing the skin, pressing so that it is absorbed in a rhythmic way.

For dark circles, massage your index finger from the tear duct towards the end of the eye.

For bags, drain with the tips of two fingers to activate lazy circulation. If you have crow's feet, make small circles with your fingertips to promote absorption.

As you can see, it is very easy to apply. In this isasaweis video you can see it step by step.

Now is the time to find out what your ideal eye contour is. We continue!
