Eyes are at work 24/7 and these pretty pairs need more attention or the under-eye area can go through serious effects such as dark circles, puffy eyes, hollowness, hyperpigmentation, eye bags, and eye wrinkles. The skin around your eyes is delicate and we use the surrounding muscles all the time for the sake of blinking, squinting, rubbing the eyes and other purposes.
A well-maintained under-eye care routine is a must for hydration and moisture in the area. An under-eye gel can transform the area surrounding the eyes with ample hydration, moisture and regeneration. Let us understand more about these miracle workers and how can you get started with the routine. Anjula Masurkar, Clinical Director, Entod Beauty London shares details about how to correctly use eye gel serum.
How to apply the under-eye gel serum and is there a specific routine?
Because the skin around the eyes is very sensitive, it is often recommended to use multiple layers including the under-eye gel serum. Know what you need; if it is de-puffing, moisturizing, or just maintaining a good routine. Start with cleansing and go all the way to sunscreen. The layers should be thinnest to thickest for your skin to absorb them properly. Liquids, gels, serums, lotions, creams, and ointments can be some of your preferred layers. Make sure you apply the eye products before the face one, just like the SPF.
To take proper care of your under-eye area, you can use the layers(with different products) right after you wake up and before you go to bed. Let us know more about these routines.
A fresh start with the morning eye routine
Mornings are for a fresh start. It is for you to prepare for what is ahead of you the entire day. This is the best time for applying under-eye gel serum. But you cannot apply it directly as there is an entire skincare routine to be followed for accurate results. Start with a cleanser, then toner, serums, eye creams (or gel serums), spot treatments, moisturizers, face oil and finally sunscreen. Face oils are oil-based liquid formulas comprising botanical oils and essential oils to avoid breakouts and clogged pores. The layers before the under-eye gel serum and after the same are perfect to give complete protection to the skin under the eyes to deal with the harshness of the day and tiring working hours.
Repeat the routine before bed
Right after you come from a tiring day, ensure that you thoroughly wash your eyes and entire face and let it be for a while till you go to bed. Before a few minutes to bed begin the routine again. The products will be absorbed overnight and enrich the under-eye skin so that they don’t turn dull or dry and bulge up with bags or dark circles in the morning.
Taking care of your eyes is not an easy task and can come with a never-ending to-do list. It is not glamorous! But that is required so that you do not need extra products or make-up to cover the lack of nutrition and proper care that you ignored earlier. Get in touch with a dermatologist and always check the instructions on the product.
