The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on your face—which means it often shows the first signs of aging. So, when should you start using eye cream? Here's a quick guide:
✅ In Your Mid to Late 20s (or Sooner, If Needed)
Start using eye cream in your mid-20s as a preventative step.
Even if you don’t see wrinkles yet, dryness, puffiness, or dark circles may already be creeping in—especially if you’re often tired or stressed.
✅ Choose the Right Formula for Your Age & Skin Needs
- In your 20s: Look for lightweight, hydrating formulas
- In your 30s: Add anti-aging and firming ingredients like peptides
- 40s and beyond: Focus on nourishing, lifting, and intensive care formulas
✅ Best Time to Apply
- Apply after serum but before moisturizer
-
Use your ring finger to gently tap the product around the orbital bone—this finger applies the least pressure and helps avoid tugging the skin
★ Final Tip
The earlier you start caring for your eye area, the better your skin will age. Consistency is key—make it part of your daily routine!
