Caution: fragile area!
The most sensitive area of the face because the skin is very thin, the eye and lip contours require special care and targeted products to erase dark circles and puffiness. It is also in this area of the face that the first signs of aging appear!
Whether it's for a hydrating eye contour, irritated lip contour, or anti-wrinkle treatment, it's important to understand your skin's needs to choose the right facial treatment. Here's a look at best practices for caring for this delicate area.
Why take care of the eye and lip contour area?
Thinner than the rest of the facial skin, the skin around the eyes and lips is poorer in sebaceous glands and almost devoid of a protective hydrolipidic film. This makes this area drier and more vulnerable to external aggressions and the first signs of aging. It is therefore necessary to choose an effective moisturizing eye contour product. As for the collagen and elastin present around your mouth, their production diminishes over the years, causing the appearance of wrinkles. Taking care of this fragile area can slow the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines or erase them. But in addition to wrinkles, applying suitable skincare also helps reduce dark circles, smooth out wrinkles, or reduce puffiness that forms under the eyes. Payot eye contour products have strong soothing and decongestant effects.
When should you start using an eye cream?
Eye creams are formulated specifically to meet the needs of this sensitive area with a more suitable concentration of active ingredients and the absence of fragrance. It is best to apply this type of anti-aging care from the age of 20 to maintain a radiant look, and from the age of 25 to prevent the first signs of aging. Even after a short night, a moisturizing eye cream or an anti-dark circle eye cream will erase the signs of fatigue.
Which eye and lip contour should you choose?
Choose your eye contour treatment based on your main problem.
- For a lifting effect: choose Roselift Regard. Concentrated in hyaluronic acid, it "lifts the eyelid" and targets the entire panoramic eye area to prevent sagging skin on the upper eyelid, smooth crow's feet, and reduce dark circles and puffiness.
- For an illuminating effect: Choose the Super Energizing Eye Treatment, this radiance eye contour treatment with superfruit extracts is the perfect ally to decongest the eye contour, visibly reduce puffiness and restore a fresh and radiant look!
How to apply your eye and lip contour treatment?
If applying eye and/or lip contour care is important, the way you apply it is also important!

2 - Gently smooth your lips from the center of your mouth outwards.
To use your eye contour treatment correctly:
1 - Apply it to perfectly cleansed skin
2 - Apply a small amount of product to the bony part of the eye contour

The goal? To stimulate microcirculation and decongest the eye area to prevent the appearance of puffiness or dark circles.
