Taking care of your skin matters, it matters even more after the permanent makeup procedure (like lash enhancement). As for permanent makeup aftercare steps, we provide a detailed list for each client. In this article, we will share everyday, useful and easy-to-follow tips & tricks on how to take care of the skin around your eyes.
The skin around the eyes is 6 times thinner and tends to be dry. There is a number of factors that can impact the undereye area condition: genetics, age, anatomical features, active facial expressions, etc. Sometimes, fine lines, hyperpigmentation (dark circles), and puffiness may occur. Stress, periodic lack of proper sleep, and the influence of external factors can also cause the skin around the eyes to age more quickly.
The area beneath the eyes deserves special treatment: the gentlest care, good sleep, and necessary vitamins. Let’s look closer at each of these life-saving routines.
Cleanse
When building a daily home skincare routine, it is important to remember a few basic rules that are always relevant. Delicate cleansing. Intensive Moisturizing. Proper Nutrition.
The skin is one of the organs of our body. Everyday at-home skin care is important. That’s what satisfies the most urgent needs of the skin and ensures its beautiful, radiant, and healthy appearance.

Cleansing
It is better to use makeup removers labeled “Eye makeup remover”. Choose a texture that feels the most comfortable: foam, milk, gel, micellar product, or two-phase liquid. They should be marked as “Ophthalmologist tested” or at least “Dermatologically tested”.
_Nutrition & Moisturizing _
Everyone has their own favorites here. Skin products with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and nourishing oils like shea butter are the best options here to forget about dry skin.
Sun-care
… is a MUST. There are not that many products with SPF protection for the undereye area on the beauty market, but they do exist.
Beautyholics really appreciate this one undereye skincare life hack: wearing sunglasses. We also recommend taking the Basic Permanent Makeup Training Course , which consists of 6 days.
TIPS:
-
Apply eye cream twice a day: before doing makeup and before going to bed.
-
To avoid swelling in the morning, apply a cream 40-50 minutes before going to bed so that the liquid is spread out evenly.
-
Apply your products softly with your pinky finger & do a facial massage.
Supplements
Supplements help us maintain our health and feel the energy. Vitamin Complex includes the entire necessary complex of vitamins and minerals in correct proportions. It has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and improves the condition of the skin, hair, and nails.
To provide the skin with the necessary amount of antioxidants (essential beauty ingredients), you should look for skin care products containing: vitamins C, E, and B3; green tea extract.
There are supplements explicitly intended for the skin around the eyes and eyelids.
Sleep
This to-do point does not require any effort. Healthy sleep can help you avoid pale or dull skin and dark circles after a bad night’s sleep. You need to sleep at least eight hours to keep a fresh look.
Orthopedic pillow
If we spend a third of our lives in a dream, then we need to do it with maximum comfort and benefit. Let’s build a good habit: sleeping on a comfortable, orthopedic pillow.
Silk pillowcase
A silk pillowcase is a perfect addition to your orthopedic pillow. A good-quality material will be in excellent condition even after years of use.
Natural silk is a first-class product for “lazy” skin and hair care. In contact with the face skin, silk promotes the production of its elastin and collagen, thereby delaying the aging process. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is insanely comfortable due to the high thermoregulating and hygroscopic properties of natural silk.
We collected the most useful and easy-to-follow instructions you might follow to take care of the skin under your eyes and keep it radiant, healthy, and nourished.
Also, don’t forget to:
- eat healthy food
- exercise
- drink water throughout the day
- give your eyes a rest from gadgets.
No matter how old you are, it’s never too early or too late to give your skin the love it deserves. You can also use eyebrow lamination, which will allow you to wake up with beautiful eyebrows.
