If you view your eye area in a mirror that magnifies 10 times, you still won’t see your pores. Therefore, eye area pores are too small and tight to accept the molecules in regular facial skin care products, that’s why specific eye products are necessary. In order to be the most effective, eye area creams or gels must be concistently used after each cleansing your face.

Is your skin type oily, combination or dry; a beauty advisor at your local cosmetic counter can help you determine tht if you’re not sure. Take the time to read any enclosed literature before you make a purchase, then you’ll be sure that it addresses your under eye concerns. However, you’ll have a distinct advantage if you have some idea of what you’re looking for.

What do they do?

Eye creams today, are designed to address particular concerns like dark circles, crows feet, fine lines, extra dry eye area skin or puffy under eyes. Nearly every major cosmetic line has a basic under eye product that includes a sun block. Trying samples will let you know if a particular type will be effective for you.

For puffy under eyes, most under eye gels contain caffeine or a decongestant and are a lighter consistency than creams. They work to reduce puffiness under the eyes by absorbing or dissipating the extra water in that area and moisturizing the surface skin. But, don’t get carried away, you can remove too much moisture if you use it other than after cleansing your skin and too much dehydration produces wrinkles.

The dry skin eye area responds better to creams, which leave a moisture and oil residue on the surface while making the cells beneath the surface plump up. That’s what is needed to give a smoother surface look to dry eye area skin. Only use eye creams after cleansing because using it too often or using too much will produce tiny oil clogged pores or white heads.

Concerned about dark circles? Most people get them as part of their family’s traits. Some people only get them when they are overly tired or sick. In either case, make sure you get enough rest and use an eye cream or gel with vitamin K, which will soften the dark color or make the circles appear less prominent. The creams or gels that deal with dark circles, work in the same way as eye drops. They will reduce the size of the capillaries beneath the surface of the skin, allowing them to recede so that the skins surface appears clear. As with eye drops, the dark circle eye treatment, doesn’t work for everyone and of course, this is just a daily/temporary remedy. Also, check with your doctor to be sure that your dark circles are not a sign of kidney or thyroid problems.

How Do I Use Eye Creams Or Gels?

Women often say it gets in their eyes, so they don’t use it. That can be prevented by applying a small amount of product on a cotton swab and swiping it onto your ring finger. To warm and equally spread your product, rub your two ring fingers together; warm products spread easier and penetrate a little deeper.

Around the outer bone of your eye area, place small dots of product. For three of four seconds, lightly tap the outer eye area vertically, focusing on the area of possible crows feet. Then slide your finger back and forth through the cream/gel a few times and and if you have dry lids or brow areas, sweep around the entire ocular bone a couple of times in each direction.

That’s all there is to it, your product will move up or down and those dry cells will absorb as much cream or gel as needed. After your toner and before your moisturizer is the best time to use your eye product. It is important to keep the eye area normally moist, even if you don’t have problems with dark circles, wrinkles or puffiness. Anyone over 16 who uses eye makeup needs to use under eye sun blocking, moisturizing products twice daily. You’ll never regret it.
