Wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles: how to take care of your eye contour?

The eye contour is the most fragile and sensitive area of ​​the face. Wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles… this area, where the skin is very thin, can show signs of aging very easily if it isn't cared for daily. And since the eyes are one of the first things people notice about someone, we're revealing our solutions for restoring a bright and revitalized look.

Choose a gentle makeup remover for your eyes

Choose a gentle makeup remover that respects the sensitivity of the eye area. For example, you can use an eye makeup remover containing natural active ingredients such as aloe vera, which has multiple moisturizing and soothing properties, or cornflower water, known for its decongestant and stimulating benefits.

For users of waterproof or highly pigmented makeup, a two-phase formula is recommended in order to dissolve the eyeshadows easily and without rubbing.

Sleep with a silk pillowcase

Did you know? Silk is a remarkable material that has many benefits for your skin.

By swapping your cotton pillowcases for silk ones, you'll reduce friction and creases from the fabric against your skin. As a result, you'll minimize the appearance of wrinkles and creases on your face, especially around the eyes, which are particularly prone to those "sleep wrinkles" that eventually become permanent.

Gentle on the skin, silk is suitable for sensitive, dry or blemished skin.

Another reason to choose a silk pillowcase for your eyes: Have you ever wondered why your facial skincare, especially your eye care, isn't working well enough? The answer might be your pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases tend to absorb more of your serums, creams, and night masks. By using a silk pillowcase at night, your eye care products will be more effective because they'll be absorbed less.

Bonus: the pillowcase is also a great friend for keeping hair beautiful and silky!

Use targeted care: our Les Poulettes Certified Organic Eye Patches Made in France

As explained previously, the eye contour is a thin and delicate area of ​​your face that requires specific care. A simple facial moisturizer will tend to overload the skin due to its heavy texture. Also, keep in mind that some facial moisturizers may contain active ingredients that are too harsh for the eyes, such as essential oils. As a result, you risk irritating this delicate area and causing puffiness!

So what treatment should you use to reduce fine lines and under-eye bags? Your skin needs a product with revitalizing and hydrating properties, all without being greasy.

Good news! Our Les Poulettes “full contour” eye patches are certified organic and made in France and are infused with a formula rich in plant extracts!

We chose vegetable glycerin for its humectant and hydrating power, which guarantees the maintenance of the skin's natural water content, and hyaluronic acid, a true hydration booster that helps smooth fine lines around the eyes. We added young barley shoot water with revitalizing properties.

Our tips for a tenfold effect:
