Managing skin around the eyes
-
 The skin around the eyes requires very gentle handling.
-
Never put heavy night creams, moisturizers or nourishing facial masks
round the delicate eye area. The oil content of these heavy preparations
stretch the under-eye skin causing puffiness. Also avoid astringents or
anti-spot lotions to come into contact with this area, all of them contain
drying ingredients which will cause wrinkling and ageing of skin.
-
Eye creams should be light in texture. Cream when applied around the eye
should be carried out gently without any massage.
-
Any pulling or stretching of skin around the eye can cause damage to the
delicate tissues. Use a light touch to apply creams or remove make-up.
Choose cleansers and nourishing creams that are particularly suited to the
care of the skin around the eyes like a light moisturized cleanser and an
almond based cream.
Your daily routine should consist of:
-
 CLEANSING: Use moist cotton wool and a moisturized cleansing gel,
to wipe off traces of make up. Soap and water are not adequate for removing
all the make-up debris, apart from causing the skin to become too dry.
-
AFTER CLEANSING: Dab under eye cream (one that is light) around
the eye area and remove after 10 min by again using a moist cotton wool.
-
Regular care is essential to keep the skin soft, moist and youthful.
Tired eyes can be smoothened with eye-pads. Eye pads or cotton wool pads
dipped in chilled rose water cucumber juice or potato extract help to remove
the fatigued look and add brightness to the eyes. Lie down place them on
your eyes and relax for at least 10 min.
-
Protect your eyes from long exposure to sunlight. Make a habit of using
sunglasses outdoors, but make sure of the quality of the glass used.
