How to maintain, your eyes’ youthful radiance

Expert Advice

Blink, blink, blink… on average, you blink every three seconds. Which means the skin around the eyes ‘moves’ every three seconds.  Since we know that this skin is 3-5 times thinner than on other areas of the face, it is easier to understand why the eyes are often the first place wrinkles set in.

Expert secret

The eye contour does not appreciate oily textures. Apply your eye contour products before your day or night moisturizer so that any ingredients from these moisturizers do not migrate to the eye contour area where they are not readily welcome!

Clarins advice

· Cleanse.

Refreshes in the morning, comforts in the evening, removing eye make-up is the very first step in beauty. Use gentle movements when cleansing, never rub ! Try Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Lotion for light make-up and Instant Eye Make-Up Remover for more intense make-up.

· Revive.

Tired-looking eyes? If you’ve got 5-10 minutes, opt for Skin-Smoothing Eye Mask and enhance its effect by lying down with your eyes closed. Or, applied like an invisible patch just before applying make-up, Eye Revive Beauty Flash helps smooth and brighten eyes in an instant.

· No puffiness, no dark circles.

It only takes a little for the eyes to become ‘marked’, skin slackening, a slower microcirculation…

What’s the solution?  Custom care.  At age 30, the refreshing texture of Eye Contour Gel is ideal.  Beginning at age 40, try Extra-Firming Eye Contour Serum and at age 50, Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate works to promote more youthful eyes from temple to temple.

· Wrinkle-free.

What can be done to slow down skin ageing?  More targeted, custom care: at age 30, Eye Contour Balm revitalizes.  At age 40, Extra-Firming Eye Contour Cream restores.  And, after age 50, Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate replenishes skin from temple to temple.  A word of advice: avoid wrinkling your eyebrows and squinting which can only lead to premature lines.

· In the sun.

Wear sunglasses when needed and also remember your ‘cosmetic sunglasses’, Sun Eye Contour Care Ultra Protection SPF 30

A feeling of well-being at any moment with Eye Contour Gel which can even be applied over make-up.  Ideal when working long hours at the computer.  Suitable for contact lens wearers.

· At what age should I start using a product on my eye contour?

It is often the eye contour, a very delicate part of the face, that first lines make an appearance. We recommend preventative care beginning around age 25. With Eye Contour Gel in the morning and Eye Contour Balm at night, you will offer your eyes a very complete beauty programme. We also recommend using Skin-Smoothing Eye Mask as often as possible, to restore moisture and comfort in one easy step.
