Dark circles, puffiness, fine lines… The eye contour is an extremely delicate area that can very quickly show signs of fatigue and aging. To limit the effects of time and lack of sleep, a few rules are essential, including using a skincare product specifically formulated for this sensitive area, applied with appropriate techniques.
Explanation.
Why take care of the eye contour?
Considered the mirror of the soul, the eyes are generally the first thing we notice about a person and partly define their personality. They are also the area of the face that first betrays age and fatigue. Why? Not only because the skin there is extremely thin, highly vascularized, and poor in supporting fibers (elastin and collagen) and sebum, which make up the hydrolipidic film. But also because, despite its fragility, it is subjected to the numerous blinks of the eyes (more than 15,000 times a day!) and other muscular contractions that create facial expressions.
Due to these characteristics, the skin around the eyes shows signs of aging very quickly (dehydration lines, expression lines), and even the slightest disruption to microcirculation can cause puffiness and dark circles to appear. It should be noted that, although the formation of these features generally has physiological and/or hereditary causes, poor lifestyle habits (alcohol, tobacco, lack of sleep) can significantly exacerbate them.
It is therefore essential to pay particular attention to this sensitive yet important area of our face, starting as a preventative measure from a young age. It is recommended to use an eye contour cream from the age of 20 to limit the appearance of the first expression lines.
Refreshing your eyes: it's all about protocol!
Who hasn't ever applied their night cream directly to the eye area just to save time in the evening? And woken up the next morning with puffy eyes?
Due to its specific characteristics, the skin around the eyes requires the use of appropriate care, less rich than a face cream to avoid swelling and incorporating specific active ingredients with anti-aging, moisturizing and decongesting properties.
But that's not all: proper application technique is also essential to avoid overworking this sensitive area and to optimize the effects of the treatment. For this, it is recommended to apply the eye contour cream with light pressure, from the inner corner of the eye towards the temple, to stimulate microcirculation. It is also advisable to use a small amount, as the skin is very permeable, to further limit puffiness.
Finally, for real effectiveness, an eye contour treatment should be applied morning and evening: in the morning to hydrate, protect from aggressions and decongest, in the evening to regenerate and limit swelling upon waking.
In summary , using an eye contour treatment is essential, provided it is combined with proper application: the perfect combo for a fresh and luminous look!

The dermatologist's advice
All skincare products, whatever they may be, should be applied to perfectly cleansed skin, including the eye area. For this reason, Graine de Pastel recommends double cleansing:
1- Remove makeup, depending on the skin type, with the Cleansing Oil or Paste which removes oils and even waterproof makeup;
2- Clean with the Cleaning Jelly to remove impurities and pollution residues.
Don't forget to complete your routine with a suitable toner before applying the treatments!
