Skin specialist mentions 5 anti-aging rules for your eyes – use the right finger
According to an expert, the skin around your eyes can stay youthful if you adopt five habits.
Her tips include the anti-aging ingredients needed in every beauty routine and how to apply them correctly.
Georgina East is an award-winning skin specialist with over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry.
She is the owner of Grafton Spa and Wellness Ltd in Northamptonshire and runs the Harley Street Skin Transformation Clinic SKNinfluence.
In an interview with The US Sun, she gave advice on how to protect your eyes from the signs of aging.
CURE FOR WRINKLES
East said the skin under the eyes is “sensitive,” so it’s important to use an eye cream specifically formulated for that area.
She revealed that the best ingredients to look for when purchasing products depend on the skin concern you’re addressing.
She said that vitamin C is best for dark circles, peptides are best for wrinkles and that soothing agents are needed to treat bags under the eyes.
“Use your ring fingertip to apply skin care products around the eyes,” she said.
“Be careful not to pull or stretch the delicate skin.”

CRUCIAL COSMETICS
East said it’s just as important to be “careful” when removing eye makeup.
She indicated that not doing this can have a negative effect on skin health.
“Always cleanse your skin and remove makeup before applying anti-aging creams,” she said.
“This ensures better absorption and effectiveness.”
She advised reading the ingredients of skin care products carefully before using them.
“It is better to use special eye creams and eye cleansers than aggressive eye products,” she said.
“Aggressive ingredients can aggravate sensitivity and cause irritation.”
EFFECTIVE EXTRAS
East said it’s crucial to maintain a consistent skin care routine to achieve the results you want.
Consistency is key to maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.
