Aerobics, Mondays, phone calls with the nosy aunt…these are the scenarios we want to push ourselves through. Using eye care is definitely not one of them.
The skin around our eyes is very thin and delicate (our eyelids are the thinnest area of skin on the body at 0.05mm thick). That’s why our eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, like sagging and crow’s feet, and they deserve our utmost care and attention.
Eye Care Benefits. Eye care is known for being good for aging skin, but depending on the formula, it can be beneficial for many other reasons. Cooling eye gels, such as Vacation Eyes, can brighten eyes and eliminate dark circles.
Eye cream can soften texture and moisturize dry skin, just like facial moisturizer. If you're focused on aging (or preventing premature aging), under-eye products rich in ingredients like retinol and peptides can help firm and soften crow's feet.
Bottom line: Every skin tone can benefit from adding eye products to your skin care routine. And at any age. In fact, starting eye care as early as possible (for example, in your 20s) can help strengthen your skin's moisture barrier and prevent the premature appearance of fine lines and sagging skin.
When should you use eye care?
Depending on the product and concerns, you can use the eye treatment once or twice daily. For gels and creams that focus on dark circles, puffiness, and light hydration, use in the morning after your serum and before your moisturizer.
For eye treatments that focus on deep hydration and aging skin, such as: B. Our Smooth Landing Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm, use at night before your night cream. As always, any formula containing active ingredients like retinol is best applied after sundown.

How much eye care should I use?
When it comes to eye care, less is more. The under-eye area contains less oil and collagen, so you don't need as much formula to penetrate deep into the skin layers.
Generally speaking, you should use a pea-sized amount of product.
How to use eye care. Start with clean hands. To use eye gel or cream, squeeze or scoop the formula onto your fingers.
For eye ointments, rub the product to warm it up until it covers your entire fingertip (with a new eye ointment, it may take a few tries to soften the surface).
Then use your ring finger (since it's naturally the lightest to touch) to make gentle tapping motions. Dab, dab, dab the product (almost like tapping), starting at the inner corner and working your way up to the brow bone.

It prevents you from accidentally tugging or pulling on your skin, which can irritate that sensitive area.
It also has a positive effect on dark circles; tapping improves blood circulation and helps move trapped fluid under the eyes, which can cause dark circles and eye bags.
Be careful not to get the formula into your eyes and do not apply it to your eyelids unless directed on the packaging.
Most eye care products are naturally moisturizing, so you probably don't need to apply moisturizer here unless your eye area requires it.
However, wear sunscreen during the day, and if you're applying concealer, let the formula absorb for a few minutes. Pro tip: Zero Gravity Smoothing Eye Cream also contains instantly brightening (and ethically sourced) mica, which is a great base for (or replacement for) concealer.
