How to apply eye contour cream on skin over 50 years old to remove wrinkles?

The skin around the eyes is much thinner and ages faster than the rest of the face. In addition, it reflects fatigue and lack of rest. Due to its special properties, needs specific care What should we include in our daily routine? from the age of 25†

Inma Jiménez, Training Manager at Sephora, explains the many excellent reasons why a specific eye contour treatment is a great idea.

Before or after the moisturizing treatment? The expert is clear: “It is better to apply the contour cream first and then the usual treatment one or two minutes later† “Contour serums are one of the most exciting categories of facial treatments. If there are both puffiness and wrinkles, my advice is to do the same as with the facial: apply the serum first – lighter, quickly absorbed – and use it to perform a gentle draining massage. And after a few minutes apply a specific cream, which provides more nutrition”, reveals the expert.

“My two favorite tips for reducing pockets are simple and effective! The first is to keep the cream in the fridge: the cold has a draining effectwhich can be improved by performing a massage with delicate pressure movements from the lacrimal duct to the temple, as if we were drawing a path of dots, always from the inside,” he notes, adding: “It is also highly recommended to use a quartz roller or jade: with just a few swipes in the morning and evening, the eye contour looks smoother and fresher”.

“It’s a good idea to use a product with retinol at night, which counteracts photo-aging, and a product with caffeine, which has a draining effect, during the day for a more awake look,” suggests Inma Jiménez.

“Perhaps the most common mistake is getting the cream too close to the eyes, which can irritate them. The area to be treated it’s the whole edge of the eyecup, the area of ​​the crow’s feet and just below the eyebrows, without touching the mobile eyelid, already greasy by itself, nor the root of the eyelashes,” explains Inma Jiménez. “A simple trick like applying the product with the ring finger helps to apply the perfect pressure to this delicate skin without pulling on the tissue,” our expert recommends. “And always through very soft mats.”

“Many contouring products come with an applicator. Then you first have to place the product on the back of the hand and from there, spread the product out with the correct applicator,” says the training manager.
