The right techniques for applying your eye contour care
Don’t underestimate the importance of regular massage in this area. Use the pads of your fingers or a dedicated tool, such as a roll-on, to gently massage the area and reduce puffiness. Start at the inner corner of the eye and move upward toward the temple, repeating this motion several times. This will not only help the product penetrate the skin but also drain fluids that can accumulate in the area and cause puffiness.
What is the effect of baking soda under the eyes?
Baking soda is sometimes mentioned as a remedy for dark circles, but it’s important to be very careful. This alkaline powder can be irritating to the thin, sensitive skin around the eyes. Applying it directly is not recommended, as it can cause redness, tightness, or a burning sensation. For this delicate area, it’s best to opt for gentle, moisturizing, and tailored skincare products rich in soothing and decongesting active ingredients.
