Dark circles, puffiness, fine lines… The eye contour is an extremely delicate area that can quickly reveal signs of fatigue and aging. To limit the effects of time and lack of sleep, a few rules are essential, including using a product specifically formulated for this sensitive area, applied with the appropriate technique.
Here’s why.
Why care for 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 reveals age and fatigue. Why? Not only because the skin there is extremely thin, highly vascularized, poor in supporting fibers (elastin and collagen) and sebum, a component of the hydrolipidic film. But also because, despite its fragility, it is subjected to the very frequent blinking of the eyes (more than 15,000 times a day!) and other muscle contractions responsible for facial expressions.
Because of these characteristics, the skin around the eyes shows signs of aging very quickly (dehydration lines, expression lines) and, at the slightest disruption to microcirculation, puffiness and dark circles appear. It should be noted that, although the formation of the latter generally has physiological and/or hereditary causes, an unhealthy lifestyle (alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep) can significantly accentuate them.
It is therefore essential to give special care to this area, which is both so sensitive and so important to our face, and to do so preventively from a young age. It is therefore recommended to use an eye contour product from the age of 20 to limit the appearance of the first expression lines.
Refresh your eyes: it’s all about the right routine!
Who has never applied their night cream directly to the eye contour simply to save time in the evening? And then woken up the next morning with puffy eyes?
Because of its specific characteristics, the skin around the eyes requires suitable products that are less rich than a face cream to prevent puffiness and contain active ingredients with anti-aging, hydrating and decongestant properties.
But that’s not all: the right application technique is also essential to avoid putting too much pressure on this sensitive area and to optimize the product’s effects. To do so, it is recommended to apply the eye contour product using light pressure, from the inner corner of the eye toward the temple, to stimulate microcirculation. It is also advisable to use a small amount, since the skin is highly permeable, once again to limit puffiness.
Finally, for real effectiveness, an eye contour product should be applied morning and evening: in the morning to hydrate, protect against external aggressors and reduce puffiness; in the evening to regenerate and limit puffiness upon waking.
In summary, using an eye contour product is essential, provided it is combined with proper application: the perfect combination for fresh, radiant-looking eyes!

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