Our eyes are busy every second of the day. They can convey love, laughter, joy, and sadly bags, dark circles, puffiness, and signs of aging. To ensure our eyes look their best, it’s important to give the delicate eye area the TLC it needs and deserves with an excellent natural eye cream.
Do I really need an eye cream?
To help you answer this question, look at yourself in the mirror. Notice how the skin around your eyes is more translucent than the rest of your face? The skin around our eyes is thin, delicate and contains much smaller pores. For this reason, eyes need gentle creams made of smaller molecules that can penetrate those tiny pores. Moisturizers are great, but won’t work on eye skin. Using a natural eye cream is the best way for delicate eye skin to absorb the nutrients it needs.
Still not convinced you need an eye cream? Consider answering these simple questions. Are you:
Tired of looking sleepy?
Are you tired of crow’s feet?
Are you tired of having puffy eyes?
Tired of dry skin around your eyes?
Tired of frizzy skin around your eyes?
Tired of feeling older every time you look in the mirror?
By using the right eye cream products, you can diminish those signs of aging and fatigue around your eyes. Want to know which eye cream is right for you? You have come to the right place!

How to apply eye cream
Since the skin around the eyes is very delicate, it is essential not to tug or tug when applying and removing skincare products or eye makeup. To ensure smooth application of your eye cream, start by applying cream to your ring finger. This finger will naturally apply the lightest touch and be the least likely to pull on the skin.
HOW you apply the eye cream is what matters most, whichever finger you use. Be sure to gently pat the eye cream onto clean skin, rather than rubbing it in. This will prevent any unwanted tugging or pulling. Dab the cream under the eyes, at the outer corners of the eyes (where crow’s feet tend to develop) and finally all over the upper eyelid area. Combined, these areas are known as the “orbital” eye area.
Do-it-yourself under-eye treatments
In addition to choosing a healthy, natural eye cream that will nourish your under-eye area, you can get creative and use some common household ingredients to brighten your eyes. Here are some of our favorite DIY concoctions to enhance your under-eye area:
DIY green tea treatment for the under-eye area: Green tea is packed with antioxidants and other important nutrients, making it a great addition to any DIY concoction for your skin. To use green tea for your under-eye area, first brew a cup of strong organic green tea. Wait for it to cool, then transfer it to a glass jar and store it in your refrigerator. Every morning (or whenever your eyes need a little love), dip a clean cotton ball or cotton ball in the tea and gently pat it on the under-eye area. The antioxidants will help promote circulation and luminosity, while the cold temperature will help relieve inflammation. You should change the tea every three or four days to ensure its freshness; you can also substitute black tea for green tea if that’s what you have on hand.
DIY caffeine and flaxseed under-eye mask: Caffeine has many benefits for the skin, as it helps to stimulate circulation and promote a plump and fresh complexion. To make a caffeinated under-eye mask, simply mix ½ tsp instant coffee (you can substitute matcha green tea if you like) with 1 tbsp flaxseed flour and whisk until smooth. until the mixture thickens. Flax is a great ingredient for the under-eye area because it helps firm the skin and reduce inflammation. Dab a small amount of the mixture under your eyes and leave for 5-10 minutes, then rinse gently. Make sure to be very gentle with your under-eye area and avoid rubbing the eye mask on your delicate skin when applying and removing.
Tips for youthful-looking eyes
In addition to using natural eye creams daily (and nightly), it’s important to remember that there may be other eye aging factors at play in your daily life. Most are preventable and simply boil down to a little extra care!
-
Did you know that dark circles can appear after you sleep? Hey stomach sleepers: If dark circles appear regularly, even if you get enough rest, try sleeping on your back more often.
-
Allergies are the main culprits for puffy and itchy eyes. It’s hard not to rub an itchy eye, but do your best to avoid rubbing the delicate eye area when the eyes are irritated.
-
If you avoid rubbing or pulling the skin around the eyes, you can protect yourself from broken blood vessels. Broken blood vessels make dark circles and puffiness more apparent. You will also save yourself from premature fine lines and wrinkles.
-
If you remove your eye makeup, do it gently! Try using our Blood Orange Cleansing Balm to effortlessly remove conventional and fruit-pigmented eye makeup.
-
If you find you have sensitive eyes, try one of our natural mascaras made with plant-based ingredients and free of chemicals or synthetic dyes (those pesky synthetic ingredients have a knack for irritating the eyes).
