Beauty Bits: Applying Eye Moisturizer

Tips for applying eye moisturizer from katienormalgirl.com

The skin around your eyes is thin and very delicate.  It must be treated with a gentle touch and great care.  That being said, any time you’re applying creams, lotions or oils around the eyes, be sure to use your ring finger to do the spreading.  It is your weakest finger and will deter you from pressing too hard.

When applying a product around your eyes, start by dabbing a bit of the product under your eye.  Then, using your ring finger, start at the outside corner of your eye and gently roll the cream under your eye moving toward the inside corner.

 

“…[when] you’re applying creams, lotions or oils around the eyes, be sure to use your ring finger”

 

Then, starting at the inner corner of your eye, sweep your finger and the product up into the crease of your eye, up to the bottom of the brow line.  Do not put product directly on the lid of your eye, as it might get into your eye and that’s never delightful.  Plus, it could irritate your eye causing redness, tearing and puffiness…all of which you are trying to prevent.  Your eye lids have natural oils on them that will carry the product from the crease of your eye down toward the lash line.
