Skincare of the skin under the eyes is extremely important to me. It is the most delicate part of my face if the whole body. Unfortunately, it is also very sensitive and can be easily irritated by any new cosmetic or beauty routine step. It is relatively easy for wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness to appear in this area. What do I do so that my skin around eyes look young and beautiful?
First make-up removal
There is no skincare without proper make-up removal. Cosmetics left on eyes and their area can simply cause irritation. If mascara, eyeshadows, or eyeliner get to the eye, following unpleasant consequences may occur: tearing, stinging, prickling, redness. That is why every evening or sometimes right after getting home I do the make-up removal and get rid of all the cosmetics from around the eyes.
For make-up removal I use biphase make-up removers and cleansing milk. I soak a cotton pad with it then place on the eyelids, wait until make-up dissolves. I repeat this action until my skin and eyelashes are perfectly clean. I never rub too harshly because this way eyelashes can weaken and the skin around eyes may be irritated.
Second under-eye cream
To cleansed skin I apply an under-eye moisturizing cream. I use products with a light-weight texture that can additionally calm the skin and ensure glow. I apply the cream with fingertips over the brow ridge, on the upper and lower eyelids, and upper part of the cheek. I sometimes use collagen under-eye masks.
Third camouflaging make-up and specialistic care
Such a beauty-make-up combination I use when my skin suffers from dark circles under eyes. They usually appear after an all-nighter and long hours in front of the computer screen and due to tiredness. On a daily basis I camouflage it with concealer and do a bit more intense make-up around eyes. In the evening, after make-up removal and besides the cream I use also cosmetics that work directly on dark circles under eyes. Those contain vitamins C and K, caffeine, chestnut, eyebright, and ginkgo extracts.
Quick rescue
If I need to quickly deal with dark circles under eyes or puffiness, I use cosmetics cooled in the refrigerator or special product with metal head – a cooling massager. Just a few moves are enough to get rid of the imperfections and smooth out the skin under the eyes.
