What age should you start using an eye cream?
This depends on one’s individual skin type, history of sun damage, family history of dark under eye circles, among other factors. In general, it is recommended to start using an anti-wrinkle eye cream in your 20s or 30s. Consult your dermatologist to determine the right time for you to start using an eye cream.
How do you apply eye cream?
In general, less is more when it comes to an eye cream. Eye creams are typically thick and concentrated and a pea-sized amount for both eyes is all you need. Apply from the inner corner of the eye area outwards. Be careful to avoid contact with the eye itself as this may cause eye irritation and watery eyes.
Do you apply eye cream before or after your moisturizer?
If an eye cream is thicker in texture than your moisturizer, we recommend applying it after. If it is thinner than your face moisturizer, we recommend applying it before.
How many times a day should you apply eye cream?
Refer to the product packaging to determine how many times a day you should apply your eye cream. Generally, it is recommended to apply an eye cream in the morning and evening after cleansing your face. However, certain eye creams containing active ingredients, such as retinol, should only be used once a daily in the evening.
