EYE PRODUCT
APPLICATION TIPS: |
| These tips will apply to use with most all eye products. |
|
|
| • |
Apply Eye Products AM and PM after cleansing and before “facial” treatment products, since this protects the eye area and uses only products designed for this delicate tissue. |
| • |
Use only a small pea size amount for application- Less is always more in this area. |
| • |
Begin application at outer area or crow’s feet, working inward towards nose (This reduces pulling or tension on delicate tissue). |
| • |
Pat in product with light tapping motion. (Index, ring or little fingers are recommended). |
| • |
Pat remaining product lightly under brow area with light tapping motion (Apply from inside out with light patting motion). |
| • |
Extra Eye product application can go on and around lip area for great benefits. |
