Do you know the proper way to apply eye creme? The question seems ridiculous doesn't it?

Well, actually, it's not. The skin around your eye is actually extremely delicate, such that too much manipulation can cause the tissue to break down, which leaves you at risk for self-induced crow's feet. Horrible, isn't it? To protect you from this risk, I thought I would take a few minutes to wax poetic about the proper way to apply eye.

The most important thing to keep in mind with eye creme is to take it slow. I know when it's hard to slow down when you are running late for work and need to apply your makeup, stat, but trust me, it's the best thing for your face. Another thing to know about eye creme is that you should always use your ring finger to apply it. Most people, I find use their second "pointer" finger to apply the salve, but actually it's best to use your fourth finger, since this one has the fewest muscles. A weaker finger reduces your risk of the hateful self-induced crow's feet. Lastly, you should always pat the creme into your skin with a very gentle tap. Do not rub! Dab the creme around the orbital bone until the formula is completely absorbed. Sure, it seems like a hassle, but in the long run, it's worth it. Applying eye creme in the right way makes your makeup look better and it keeps your skin looking youthful.
