Wake up call: Anti-fatigue eye care

For women, the first few wrinkles will often appear around the eyes. To prevent these, or smooth away any fine lines, there are moisturising skin creams specifically formulated for the delicate eye area which will even out contours and open up your eyes. While signs of ageing are the main culprits, contracting the muscles, blinking and creasing the eyes when smiling, for example, all contribute to tired looking eyes.
When crow’s feet become visible, expression lines between your eyebrows appear, your upper eyelids crease and your delicate under-eye area starts to sag, it is high time for you to start taking proper care of your eyes.
Give your eyes a wake up call with our simple guide to a complete “anti-fatigue” eye skincare routine:
- Begin with an extra gentle facial scrub with an exfoliating agent especially formulated for fragile skin. Rub the contours of your eyes up to your eyebrows and underneath the eyes gently using very light, circular movements so as to get rid of dead skin cells, which can make your eyes look dull. Rinse your eyes with water using a mineral water spray.
- Then, apply a regenerating face mask adapted to suit the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Follow this with a product designed for smoothing out skin, like a firming anti-wrinkle cream for example, which will relax the epidermis and make creases around your eyes disappear.
- Perfect your gaze by applying one of the moisturisers we recommend especially for the delicate eye area, and light up those eyes!
