On average we blink 10,000 a day! So you can imagine that the delicate skin around our eyes is in constant use. It can mark easily, tends to show how you’ve slept, your life rhythm, and your age. These are all excellent reasons to take good care of it.
So, what is an eye contour cream?
An eye contour cream is a cream formulated specifically for the sensitive and delicate skin around your eyes. Mainly used for hydration, the product must also protect against premature skin aging. Using an eye contour cream promotes the blood’s microcirculation, which is weak in this area of the face, and reaches dark circles and bags under the eyes that make you look tired. Used in combination with a day/night cream, eye contour creams keep the skin around your eyes healthy.
We love our Yon-Ka and G.M. Collin® product lines, as they use a combination of natural and innovative ingredients.
How do I apply an eye contour cream?
Best if used both morning and evening after cleansing, apply a thin layer to the eye contour area.
Perform smoothing and draining movements from the inner corner of the eyes to the temples. Repeat this movement 3 times in a row on both the upper and lower eyelids.
Finish by slowly sliding your fingers from the temples to the base of the neck, at the level of the supraclavicular hollows. This is excellent for lymphatic drainage!
Beauty tip
For an immediate anti-fatigue effect or in case of swollen eyelids on waking, apply your eye contour in a thick layer, like a mask! Close your eyes for about 1 minute to allow any essential oil to evaporate and avoid any tearing. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, and if necessary, rub in any residual excess.
