Are You Putting Your Eye Gel On Wrong?

There are many eye gels and creams on the market designed to attack and eliminate signs of aging around the eyes like puffiness and dark circles. Many of them do as advertised but a lot of people for some reason still dont see the results they want. Why is this? Well, the truth is that many people are unaware as to properly apply and eye gel or cream. Its nothing to be ashamed of; there are simply way too many misconceptions and urban legends about in order to have totally clear view as which method provides the best results. If youre wondering why youre not seeing the results you want from your eye gel, the next time you are about to apply the product, take a breath and see if youre doing any of the following:

1.Rubbing It In Nice and Good
When applying an eye gel its important to never vigorously rub the product into your skin. Rubbing causes the product to be rubbed into your fingertips as well, therefore reducing effectiveness. So, dab or pat the product on the affected area lightly and wait until it is fully absorbed. The best eye gels are formulated to be absorbed directly into the skin; working from the inside out, so theres no need to rub it in.

2.Using A Little Bit Extra
More is better right? No its not. Using excess of an eye cream causes to the leftovers to sit on the top layer of skin potentially causing irritation. The skin surrounding the eyes is especially fragile. Because its so thin, it is more susceptible to damage from chemicals or artificial fragrance. Its important to only use a little bit, as most of the best eye gels are quite potent. A general rule of thumb with eye gels is to use your pinkies and put a drop about the size of Roosevelts head on the inside of a dime.

3. Not Using It Enough
Many people believe that they only need to use their eye gel or any other skin care product when they see a blemish and if their product doesnt give them instant results they usually discontinue use. The truth is that many of the best eye gels are designed to work within a series of applications and if you dont give them the time to work and dont use them every day as directed then their effectiveness is cut dramatically. If a product says use twice a day once in the morning, once at night than do exactly that, youd be surprised at what following the directions and consistent use can do.

Eye gels are rapidly becoming a staple ingredient in many peoples anti aging and skin care routines as they are quite effective at reducing and eliminating the wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. If you want the most out of your eye gel make sure you heed the above advice and use your eye gel appropriately.
