The eye contour is a product that can completely change the look of your eyes. But there are a number of misconceptions about its use that need to be completely banished in order to take full advantage of its benefits. Below, we review the most common ones:

It is for women over 50 Myth

The recommended age to start using it is around 30. This is because, as this is an area where the skin is much thinner than the rest of the face, it dehydrates more easily, and it is where the signs of ageing (such as crow’s feet or dark circles under the eyes) begin to show sooner.

It helps to reduce dark circles under the eyes True (but not all)

At this point it is important to consider how our eye cream is composed. There are some products that incorporate ingredients such as Bisabolol in their formulas. This active ingredient has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects that deflate the area, thus reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

You have to rub dark circles under the eyes to get rid of them Myth (and counterproductive)

As this is an area where the skin is so delicate, it must be treated very carefully so as not to damage the capillaries underneath. That is why it is always recommended to apply the eye cream with the fingertips of the ring fingers, which exert the least force on the area.

Facial massages help to reduce dark circles under the eyes and wrinkles.

As long as they are done gently so as not to stretch the skin too much, facial massages are a great way to drain the area of dark circles under the eyes. In addition, if we apply our cream from the inside out, we will help to promote skin elasticity.

As always, knowing more about the characteristics of our skin will allow us to take the best care of it so that it looks radiant.
