The importance of using eye creams in skincare routines have always come with mixed opinions. Some say eye creams do nothing for dark circles or puffiness while others can’t go without incorporating it in their skincare routine. I have since started to incorporate eye creams into my routine after I found one that actually made a difference in how my under eyes looked. I was introduced to Malin + Goetz eye gel after receiving a sample in my Birtchbox.
After my first few nights of applying the gel, I saw immediate results. I’m someone who sleeps on their face, which causes so many lines on my face when I wake up. I know…sounds off but it’s true. I also notice a lot less puffiness and more tightness under my eyes as well. The rice and soy peptides help to brighten the eye area while the cucumber extract helps with relieving puffiness.
Some tips when applying eye cream:
- It’s important to use your ring finger due to the fact it’s your weakest finger. It will provide a gentle touch.
- Use a pea-sized amount of product
- Now gently tap small dots under your eyes, starting in the innermost corner and moving outward.
- Avoid dragging or rubbing. A gentle pat should do the job!
- Wait two minutes to let the cream fully absorb and then move forward with the rest of your skincare routine.
