Firstly, do you really need an eye cream I hear you ask? The area is thinner and prone to puffiness and dark circles so it does need extra TLC.
What many of us get wrong is the application. Remember to use your ring finger and dab product along the bone under the eye socket and not too close to the lower lash line or the product could travel up into eyes. Also, the more you massage the area, the more you stimulate the blood flow which will work on reducing the look of dark circles. Keeping your cream in the fridge in summer will help reduce puffiness too.
