How to Care for the Eye Area?

The eye area is prone to wrinkles. At the same time, the skin here is very delicate and needs gentle care. Do you know how to properly care for the eye area? We’ll advise you what to do (and what not to do) so that fatigue doesn’t show on the delicate skin around your eyes and unnecessary wrinkles don’t form.

Proper eye makeup removal

The foundation of eye-area care is undoubtedly thorough eye makeup removal. Going to bed with eye makeup on definitely doesn’t pay off. Always use a special makeup remover for your eyes that is specifically intended for removing eye makeup.

Ideally, also use the gentlest cotton pads possible. Apply makeup remover to the pad, close your eyes, press the pad onto your eyelid, and wait a moment. Then, with gentle strokes, wipe mascara from the lashes from top to bottom, and wipe eyeshadow and liner off the lids. Don’t remove eye makeup with circular motions, and don’t rub hard from side to side. If needed, feel free to use another pad. Continue removing eye makeup until the pad is completely clean.

Eye serums and night creams

Once you’ve removed your eye makeup, use an eye serum or cream. Since there are no sebaceous glands around the eyes, the skin needs hydration. Before you go to bed, apply a night cream to the eye area. A small amount will be enough. In our selection, you’ll find eye creams, under-eye pads, and balms for the eye area.

Sleep itself is no less important. Those who don’t sleep enough tend to have puffy eyes or dark circles under the eyes. You’ll see that if you get enough sleep, your eyes will appreciate it (and not only your eyes). Are your eyes still often tired? Try soothing hydrogel masks. They hydrate the skin around the eyes, reduce dark circles under the eyes, and firm the eye area.

Morning routine

Since you sweat at night too and dust floats around you, you need to cleanse your skin in the morning as well. Rinse your facial skin with water or use makeup remover again. Then you can apply makeup as usual. Use a product with hydrating effects on the skin around the eyes.
