Ageing causes changes in the skin naturally and alongside external factors we can experience things such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and pigmentation. The skin around our eye area is more susceptible to the changes as the skin is much thinner in this area. The following collection of eye creams we have chosen target specific concerns in order to improve the look, feel and texture of the eye area while also helping to future proof the skin.

How to Apply Eye Cream?
Start by cleansing your face to remove any makeup or impurities. Take a small amount of eye cream, about the size of a pea, and use your ring finger to gently pat it around the orbital bone, avoiding the direct eye area.
Be gentle to avoid tugging at the delicate skin.
Where to Apply Eye Cream?
Eye cream should be applied to the skin around the eyes, specifically along the orbital bone, which is the area beneath your eye and above your cheekbone. To prevent irritation, avoid applying the cream too close to your eyes. Cover the entire orbital area, including the outer corners where crow’s feet can form.
How Often Should You Use Eye Cream?
For optimal results, eye cream should be used twice daily – once in the morning and once before bed. Consistency is key to improving fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. Make it a part of your regular skincare routine for the best results.
