Eye Care 101: How to Add an Eye Step to Your Routine

Eye Care 101: How to Add an Eye Step to Your Routine

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, and it is often the first place where tiredness, dryness and fine lines show. That is why many skincare routines include a dedicated eye step: a product with a texture made for this area, applied with a lighter touch.

Why a separate eye step?

Face creams and serums are formulated for larger areas of skin. Eye products usually come in smaller amounts and lighter or richer textures designed for the eye contour. Using one consistently, morning and night, is an easy way to keep the area looking hydrated, smooth and refreshed.

How to apply eye products

  • Use a small amount. A rice-grain amount per eye is usually enough.
  • Tap, don't rub. Use your ring finger to pat the product along the orbital bone, from the inner to the outer corner.
  • Keep it out of the eyes. Stay on the bone rather than on the lash line or eyelid.
  • Layer in the right order. Apply eye products after serum and before your moisturizer, or as the last step at night.
  • Patch-test first. Try any new product on a small area before using it around the eyes.

Everyday habits that help

Consistent sleep, staying hydrated, removing makeup gently and wearing sunglasses and a daily sunscreen on the rest of the face all support a fresher-looking eye area.
