Wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles: how to take care of your eye area?

The eye contour is the most fragile and sensitive area of the face. Wrinkles, bags, dark circles... this area where the skin is very thin can mark very easily if we do not take care of it daily. And since the eye area is one of the first things you notice about someone, we reveal our solutions to get a bright and revitalized look.

Choose a gentle eye makeup remover

Choose a gentle makeup remover that respects the sensitivity of the eye area. For example, you can use an eye makeup remover containing natural active ingredients such as aloe vera, which has multiple moisturizing and soothing properties, or cornflower water, known for its decongestant and stimulating properties.

For users of waterproof or highly pigmented makeup, a two-phase formula is recommended in order to dissolve the shadows easily and without rubbing.

Sleep with a silk pillowcase

Did you know? Silk is a remarkable material that has many benefits for your skin. 

By exchanging your cotton pillowcases for silk ones, you will limit the friction and the folds of the fabric on your skin. As a result, you will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds on your face, especially around the eyes, which are particularly sensitive to these "sleep wrinkles" that eventually set in.

Respectful of the epidermis, silk is suitable for sensitive, dry or blemished skin. 

Another reason to adopt a silk pillowcase for your eyes: have you ever wondered why your facial and especially your eye care is not effective enough? The answer may lie in your pillowcase. Indeed, cotton pillowcases absorb more of your serums, creams and night masks. By adopting a silk pillowcase at night, your eye care products will be more effective because they are less absorbed.

Bonus: the pillowcase is also a great friend to keep your hair beautiful and silky!

Use a targeted care: our Organic Eye Patches Made In France Les Poulettes

As previously explained, the eye contour area is a thin and fragile area of your face that requires adapted care. A simple face moisturizer will tend to overload the skin because of its heavy texture. Also remember that a moisturizing face cream may contain active ingredients that are too strong for the eyes, such as essential oils. As a result, you risk irritating this fragile area and causing puffiness!  

So what skin care product should you use to reduce the appearance of fine lines and bags under your eyes? Your skin needs a product with revitalizing and moisturizing properties, all without being greasy.

Good news! Our eye patches "full contour" Les Poulettes are certified Organic and Made in France and are infused with a formula rich in plant extracts!

We chose vegetable glycerin for its humectant and moisturizing power, which ensures that the skin's natural moisture content is maintained, and hyaluronic acid, a real hydration booster that helps smooth fine lines around the eyes. We added young barley shoot water for its revitalizing properties.

And finally, konjac root, which helps combat skin fatigue, particularly dark circles.

A true concentrate of natural active ingredients to reduce the appearance of crow's feet, dark circles and puffiness. Guaranteed refreshed and rejuvenated eye contour in just 10 minutes!

Our advice for a tenfold effect: 

• Keep the Organic and Made in France eye patches in a refrigerator before use to get all the benefits of decongestion.
• After removing the patches, feel free to massage the eye area with circular motions around the eye with the pad of your ring finger.

Practice facial yoga

The face has more than 50 muscles, including 22 for the eye area. Face Yoga is extremely beneficial when practiced regularly as it will allow you to tone these muscles around the eyes. The result: you will have a less tired look by fading wrinkles and signs of fatigue.

Here are 2 facial yoga exercises for the eye area to perform several times a week for visible results.
