The best tip for using eye serums and creams to pat them in with your ring finger. Apply eye product to your orbital bone - that’s the bottom of your eye socket that you can feel under your eye and even up to your brow bone, but not on your eyelid itself.
The ring finger is the weakest finger, so you won’t put too much pressure and tug on your skin. You don’t need to rub them in - you could cause premature wrinkles!
This applies to all textures of eye care products, like gels and serums. Eye gels and serums are better for oily skinned folks, or for those who don’t necessarily have dryness issues in their under eye area. They’re lightweight formulas with targeted ingredients to correct specific concerns like anti-ageing and dark circles, without the heaviness need for very dry undereye skin.
It’s also really important to not apply it too close to your actual eye. Don’t apply skin care all the way up to your waterline - skincare naturally ‘travels’ a small amount on skin anyway. Trust us, your skincare is getting to where it needs to be!
You can use them morning and night too, depending on the ingredients. A hydrating eye product makes a great, creaseless base for undereye concealer (and flawless makeup) - and some even come with built-in SPF for two-in-one anti-ageing and sun protection.
