Daily Beauty Habits That Are Aging Your Eyes

Eye cream is a vital component of any skincare regimen, especially considering the delicate nature of the skin surrounding our eyes. This area is often the first to exhibit signs of aging, such as crow’s feet, dark circles, and under-eye puffiness. While factors like genetics, gravity, stress, and repetitive facial expressions contribute to these issues, certain daily beauty habits can exacerbate them.

You scrub your eye area
Removing makeup, particularly long-lasting eyeshadows and waterproof mascara, can be challenging. Many resort to vigorous scrubbing, which can damage the sensitive skin around the eyes, leading to broken capillaries and dark circles. To prevent this, opt for a gentle, oil-based cleanser that effectively dissolves makeup without the need for harsh rubbing.
Skipping Sunscreen Around the Eyes
The skin near the eyes is highly susceptible to UV damage, leading to premature aging. It’s essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen around the eyes daily and consider wearing sunglasses with UV protection to shield this delicate area.
Using Harsh Makeup Removers
Some makeup removers can strip the skin of natural oils, causing dryness and irritation. Opt for gentle, hydrating makeup removers or micellar water to cleanse the eye area without causing harm.
Using Harsh Makeup Removers Inadequate Hydration
Dehydrated skin can accentuate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day and consider using a humidifier in dry environments to maintain skin hydration.
You’re not using eye cream
The skin around the eyes lacks oil glands, making it more prone to dryness and early signs of aging. Incorporating an eye cream into your daily routine provides necessary hydration and targeted treatment to maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
You’re applying your eye cream wrong
Finding the right eye cream is only half the battle. How you apply eye cream is what makes the biggest difference. Here are some tips:
- Using the Ring Finger to Apply Small Amounts: After washing your face and applying your serums and moisturizer, take a pea-size amount of eye cream or gel with your ring finger and dab small dots under and around your eyes and on the brow bone. The ring finger applies the least pressure, minimizing the risk of tugging the delicate skin.
- Gentle Patting Motion: Do not pull the skin. Dab small dots under and around the eyes, then gently pat from the inner to the outer corners until fully absorbed.
- Timing: Before applying sunscreen or makeup, wait a few minutes to ensure the product has been completely absorbed.
