HOW TO TAKE CARE OF UNDER EYE SKIN

Constantly in motion and extremely exposed, the under eye is the area of the face that rapidly shows signs of ageing. To protect this delicate and sensitive area, it is essential to use the right products.

Read on to learn how to take care of your under eye skin, and discover Filorga’s best skin care for eyes.

 

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR UNDER EYE AREA?

The eye contour has the thinnest and most fragile skin on the face, which is why it’s so important to take care of the under eye area.

The skin under the eyes lacks sebaceous glands, collagen and elastin fibres and is under the strain of 22 muscles in perpetual motion, this is why the under eye is the first area to show signs of ageing.

 

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF UNDER EYE SKIN

GENTLY REMOVE MAKE-UP

Your eye zone is continuously in motion and can be damaged by every day environmental aggressors such as pollution, blue light from screens and make-up.

The first step to caring for your eyes is to thoroughly remove make-up. Mascara and eyeliner residue tend to irritate your pupils and, in the long term, can slacken the eyelids.

To remove make-up properly, moisten a cotton pad with a gentle, moisturising make-up remover like Filorga’s MICELLAR Anti-Aging Cleansing Solution

REDUCE SIGNS OF FATIGUE

Dark circles make the eyes look shadowed and tired. To effectively reduce dark circles and signs of fatigue, the best solution is to use a targeted, under eye cream.

Filorga’s OPTIM-EYES 3-in-1 Intensive Eye Contour Cream combines polyphenol, peptides and hyaluronic acid to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and smooth the eye contour area, revealing fresher and more youthful-looking eyes.

BOOST THE RADIANCE OF YOUR EYES

To boost the radiance of your eyes, we recommend choosing an oxygenation-boosting, brightening eye cream, such as OXYGEN-GLOW EYES, which energises, hydrates and detoxifies the eye zone. The hydra-illuminating texture, including Photo Perfector HD technology reveals an instantly enhanced eye area.

Dab onto the eye contour daily to brighten and illuminate the eyes.

LIFT YOUR EYELIDS

Heavy eyelids can make you look tired. The solution? Use an eye cream containing a lifting complex to help prevent the upper eyelids from slackening.

With its stimulating complex, TIME-FILLER EYES cream helps lift eyelids and brightens the appearance of dark circles. The presence of hyaluronic acid also smooths wrinkles around the eyes.

The extra advantage? The stimulating matrikine combined with provitamin B5, your best allies for thicker lashes.

OPT FOR REGENERATING SKINCARE

To complement these beauty steps, you can also use a skincare product with intense energising and pro-youth action.

NCEF-REVERSE EYES contains the same active ingredients as those used in a meso-injection developed by FILORGA. The multi-corrective eye cream offers complete action for your eyes by intensely correcting wrinkles, firmness, radiance, dark circles and puffiness all at once.

WHY USE EYE CREAM

As the skin around the eyes is so thin, it needs to be treated even more delicately both in what types of skin care products are used around the eyes, as well as how creams and serums are applied. The biggest benefits to using an eye cream is that they’re specially formulated for the thinner, more sensitive area around the eyes.

You’ll also find that your eyes experience unique skin concerns such as dark circles, lines under eyes and sagging. Eye creams and eye serums are made to specifically target these issues and are often formulated with key ingredients that help to reduce common under eye skin concerns.

 

HOW TO APPLY EYE CREAM

Eye creams should be applied gently, making sure not to pull or tug on the delicate under eye skin.

Lightly dab a small amount of your under eye product, delicately smoothing from the inner corner to under the eye and finishing at the outer corner. Using this technique to apply your eye cream follows three pressure points to boost circulation.
