After the serum? What if I don't use serum? So, eye contour before or after moisturizing cream? How to apply eye contour It is a question that many of you continue to ask. So let's solve it so that you get the most out of the benefits of your treatment.
When should you apply eye contour?
The eye contour is applied after cleansing , that is, before the serum or before the moisturizer if you do not use a serum. It is not a rule, you know that we do not believe in cosmetic dogmas, but we recommend applying it this way because you are going to delimit the contour area, where non-specific products should not be applied. Thus, when applying the serum or cream, you will do so around the area where the contour treatment is.
If you use toner after cleansing, then apply the eye contour after the toner, it is considered a product that completes facial cleansing.
Ideal order of a facial routine
The facial routine can have three or ten steps, and both are valid. Everyone must do the routine that they know they will follow, there is no point in taking ten steps if we know that we are going to get lazy and we are not going to be constant. That's the word, "constant", consistency is essential when trusting a cosmetic.
Here we present a complete routine, which even includes a mask. In this routine, the essential things are the cleanser, the eye contour and the moisturizer. Everything you want to add from there will add benefits to your routine.
The 5 most common mistakes when applying eye contour
There are one or even five things you may be doing wrong when applying eye contour.
- Spread it with friction. The eye contour is applied by tapping with your fingers, not spreading or massaging. If you want to massage to help hide the bags, do it with a contour that incorporates an applicator,
- Use the wrong finger. Apply it better with the ring finger, which exerts less force than the index or middle finger.
- Apply a lot of it. One grain of rice is enough. If you apply more, the area can become congested and it is a waste of product.
- Apply near the lower or upper eyelid. The contours are applied over the orbital bone. It should not be applied closer to the eye because it may cause discomfort. Nor on the upper eyelid unless specifically indicated, it is a very thin and permeable skin.
- Thinking that it is only a night treatment. It is an area unprotected from environmental factors, a contour will help you with all that exposure you do during the day. There are very light and quickly absorbed contours that are very comfortable during the day.
