Eye Spy: 10 Eye serums to combat puffiness and discolouration
We round up the best eye serums of the lot that actually work.
Products targeted towards puffiness, discolouration or lines can be a hit or miss depending on the formula. Some turn out to be too rich, while others just won’t blend into your skin well. It can be a frustrating struggle, especially when the state of the skin around your eye area reveal a lot about your age.
It is important to incorporate an eye care product into your skincare routine as a preventive step. The conventional route is to choose an eye cream, but we recommend giving the eye cream a skip if it has not been working for you. Opt for an eye serum, which essentially does the same job. What makes an eye serum different is that it absorbs into the skin at a faster rate due to its thinner and runnier viscosity. This is especially beneficial for those who struggle with fine lines and mature skin. Eye creams might not be making the cut as your skin is not allowing it to absorb well.
The skin around your eyes is very delicate – all you want to do is to pat, pat, pat. Bring the product up to your temples and massage in the formation of the number 8. This helps to stimulate blood flow.
An eye serum should ideally be applied twice a day, but if you fear your makeup interfering with the product, opt for an SPF eye cream instead. Proceed to apply the eye serum at night and rest away.
