Dark circles, puffiness, fine lines… The eye contour is an extremely delicate area that can quickly show signs of fatigue and aging. To limit the effects of time and lack of sleep, some rules must be followed, including the use of a care product specifically formulated for this sensitive area, applied with an appropriate technique.
Explanation.
Why take care of the eye contour?
Considered the mirror of the soul, the eyes are usually the first thing we notice in a person and partly define their personality. It is also the area of the face that first reveals age and fatigue. Why? Not only because the skin there is extremely thin, highly vascularized, poor in supportive fibers (elastin and collagen) and sebum, a component of the hydrolipidic film. But also because, despite its fragility, it is subjected to numerous eye blinks (more than 15,000 times a day!) and other muscle contractions that cause facial expressions.
Due to these characteristics, the skin around the eyes shows signs very quickly (dehydration fine lines, expression wrinkles) and at the slightest disturbance of microcirculation, puffiness and dark circles appear. Note that although the formation of these is generally due to physiological and/or hereditary causes, a poor lifestyle (alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep) can greatly worsen them.
It is therefore essential to pay special attention to this sensitive yet important area of our face, and to do so preventively from a young age. It is recommended to use an eye contour care product from the age of 20 to limit the appearance of the first expression fine lines.
Refreshing your eyes: it’s all about the protocol!
Who hasn’t ever applied their night cream directly on the eye contour just to save time in the evening? And then woke up the next morning with swollen eyes?
Because of its specificities, the skin around the eyes requires the use of adapted care products, less rich than a face cream to avoid swelling, and containing active ingredients with anti-aging, hydrating, and decongestant properties.
But that’s not all: a good application technique is also essential to avoid overworking this sensitive area and to optimize the effects of the care product. It is recommended to apply the eye contour care with gentle presses, from the inner corner of the eye towards the temple, to stimulate microcirculation. It is also advised to use a small amount, as the skin is very permeable, to again limit swelling.
Finally, for real effectiveness, an eye contour care product should be applied morning and evening: in the morning to hydrate, protect from aggressions, and decongest; in the evening to regenerate and reduce puffiness upon waking.
In summary, using an eye contour care product is essential, provided it is combined with proper application: the perfect combo for fresh and radiant eyes!

Dermatologist’s advice
Any care product, whatever it is, should be applied on perfectly cleansed skin, including the eye contour. For this, Graine de Pastel recommends double cleansing:
1- Remove makeup, depending on skin type, with the Cleansing Oil or Cleansing Paste which eliminate oils and even waterproof makeup;
2- Cleanse with the Cleansing Gel to remove impurities and pollution residues.
Don’t forget to complete your routine with a suitable toner before applying care products!
