Applying Eye creams the right way!

The right usage of eye cream is as important as the right cream you are using. Applying the best eye cream the wrong way shall not reflect in the desired outcomes.

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive in the entire body. The thickness of the skin around the eyes is only quarter as thick as the skin in the rest of your face. This is why and this is where you will first see the signs of aging.
The eye creams work on either the skin under the eye or on the blood flow in the capillaries. Points to remember while applying the cream

• The skin should not have dust particles under the eye. So washing the skin around the eyes is the first step. Use luke warm water and wash your face gently.
• A cotton swab or the clean ring finger can be used to apply the cream. Ring finger is has the highest control over its actions when compared to other fingers and therefore preferred.
• Apply the cream on the ring finger or the cleaned cotton swab
• Then gently move the finger from the innermost part of the eye (near to nose) to the outermost part
• Then lift your finger and come back near the innermost part and go to the outer part of the eye again. By doing this you are not only spreading the cream on the skin but also making the blood flow in the right direction.
• Repeat the above pattern .Be cautious as to the movement of fingers should not cause the skin to pull out or pressurize the underlying capillaries.
• You need to make sure that the cream is evenly spread out by gently patting it .
• Care should be taken that rubbing of the skin around the eye is controlled, and the skin is allowed to absorb the cream. In fact, repeated rubbing of eye is a symptom of nutrient deficiencies.
• Do not try to mix up the creams unless asked to by the dermatologists.
• If there is any irritation after applying the cream, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
