The eyelids blink more than ten thousand times a day. Over the years, this causes the loss of collagen and elastin within the eyelids. Moreover, the skin around the eyes is only 0.02~0.05mm thick, making it very thin. Additionally, as there is no sebum protection, the area easily becomes dry, leading to the formation of fine lines around the eyes! In this video, we will teach you how to use skincare routines and massage techniques to improve fine lines and prevent them from turning into deep wrinkles!
1. Differences between eye gel and eye cream:
Eye gel: lighter texture, suitable for oily or acne-prone skin
Eye cream: anti-wrinkle and firming effects, suitable for those who already have wrinkles or have dry skin
Summer usage tip: use refreshing eye gel during the day and more nourishing eye cream at night
2. What to do if wrinkles or fine lines have already formed?
We recommend using skincare products with anti-wrinkle effects.
These products can promote the production of collagen in the skin around the eyes, smoothing out fine lines while also achieving a lifting effect.
3. When to use eye gel or eye cream:
It is recommended to use them after toner or essence.
If you have the habit of using essence, you can apply eye gel or eye cream after the essence step. If not, you can apply them after the toner step.
4. Demonstration of basic eye massage techniques:
Tip: Use your ring finger to perform eye massages.
When performing an eye massage, use your ring finger, which exerts the least force, to avoid excessive pulling of the delicate skin around the eyes.
Product amount: adjust according to the area, approximately the size of a grain of rice.
5. Demonstration of basic eye massage techniques:
Step 1. Gently dot the skincare product around the eyes, using pressing and patting motions from the inner to outer corners to enhance absorption.
When performing an eye massage, be sure to use gentle movements. Avoid dragging or pulling too hard, as it may cause adverse effects.

Step 2. For people with high intraocular pressure, focus on pressing specific acupoints around the eyes.
People who wear glasses usually have higher intraocular pressure. In such cases, you can press the acupoints around the eyes to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue and discomfort.
7. Demonstration of eye massage techniques (to combat wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging):
Step 1. Apply eye cream around the eyes, using pressing motions from the inner to outer corners to enhance absorption.
For issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging, we recommend using eye cream for massage. Similarly, apply the eye cream around the eyes, using pressing motions from the inner to outer corners to enhance absorption.
Suggestion: If the wrinkles and fine lines are deeper, you can increase the pressure slightly for a deeper massage.
