How to Apply Eye Cream Properly

Now that you know how to shop for eye cream, you may be wondering how to correctly use it. Applying eye cream is simple enough, but there is a certain technique you should use to maximize your results. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Apply a small amount to your ring finger.

Start by applying a pea-sized amount of eye cream to your ring finger. This finger is small enough to get into the tiny crevasses around the eye and it has the gentlest touch. Eye creams are highly concentrated, so you only need a very small amount for both eyes.

Step 2: Apply small dots around the contours and tap gently.

Using your ring finger, apply small dots in a circle pattern starting at the inner corner under your eye and working up to your brow bone, continuing underneath the eye on the orbital bone. Tap gently in that circle pattern around the contours to stimulate circulation, patting until the product is fully absorbed.

Step 3: Let the product set for 90 seconds.

After applying your eye cream, you should let it absorb for about 90 seconds before you apply concealer or another skincare product.

Eye cream can help to greatly reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines in the eye area if you know how to use it properly. Follow the instructions provided above and avoid using the product on or near your eyelids, unless the product directs you to do so.
