Your eye area is the thinnest and most delicate skin on your face, the first to betray aging, dryness, or a night of poor sleep—all the more reason to make sure you apply your undereye products properly. So let’s break it down, shall we? We tapped the experts on how to apply eye cream like a pro: On the other hand, if you have a creamy product on-hand to hydrate the undereye area, you can apply it after your serum, alongside your moisturizer. Tinted eye creams can go at the very end, as it’s more of a skin-care/concealer hybrid. If you notice any milia around the eye area (it’s quite common around the eyes and lips, where the skin is thinner), that may also be a sign you’re either using too much product or one that’s too heavy for your skin. See, too-heavy creams and oils can trap keratin in the pores and cause those tiny white or yellow bumps, which is why experts recommend checking your skin care products as a first step. Dab your pearl-size amount of product in a semicircle along the undereye area, gently tapping with your finger to blend it in. Many experts recommend using your ring finger or pinkie finger, as those tend to be your weakest digits.
