Today I had
the most amazing facial with Sarah Burns, the
Facial Coordinator at
Elizabeth Arden UK. We were casually talking all things eyes, when she revealed a big mistake many women make when applying skincare products to the
eye area. The mistake we can each be guilty of is applying products directly under the eyes and on the eyelids. Applying eye products too close to the eyes is not only unnecessary but dangerous, as it can lead to
irritation,
inflammation and
milia.
So, to make sure you apply
eye products correctly, dab half a pea-sized amount of product along the bottom of your eye socket up to your temple using your ring finger (this finger applies the least amount of pressure!). Then do the same for the top of your eye socket, working from the inner corner of your eyebrow down to your temple. The applied product will then naturally migrate to the whole of the eye area, (safely) giving those peepers the attention they deserve!
