How to Care for Delicate Under-Eye Skin
Your eyes are your ultimate beauty statement, but the fragile skin beneath them is often the first to reveal signs of ageing, stress, and fatigue. The secret? A few expert-approved tricks to keep your under-eyes looking bright, fresh, and effortlessly youthful.
Why Your Under-Eyes Need Extra Love
The skin beneath your eyes is far more delicate than the rest of your face—thinner, more sensitive, and quicker to show signs of ageing. Constantly exposed to UV rays and environmental stressors, it loses elasticity faster, making dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines more noticeable. That’s why a targeted approach is essential to keep your under-eye area smooth, bright, and beautifully refreshed.
How to Banish Eye Puffiness for Good
Woke up with tired, puffy eyes? No need to panic—these simple at-home remedies will have you looking bright-eyed in no time.
The cooling trick: A gentle cold compress can work wonders. Opt for something cool, not ice-cold, like damp tea bags or cucumber slices—both packed with antioxidants to calm irritation.
Chamomile magic: Brew chamomile tea, let it chill in the fridge, then soak cotton pads in the cooled infusion. Lie back and relax for 15 minutes while the anti-inflammatory properties work their magic.
The spoon hack: Need a quick fix? Pop a spoon in the freezer, then use it to gently massage the under-eye area, instantly reducing swelling and refreshing tired skin.

5 Golden Rules for Bright, Youthful Under-Eyes
Your under-eye area is delicate, so a little extra care goes a long way. Follow these expert-approved tips to keep your eyes looking fresh, radiant, and well-rested.
- Choose the right products – Always opt for skincare specifically formulated for the eye area. The skin here is thinner and more sensitive, so gentle, hydrating ingredients are key. Discover our eyecare here.
- Be gentle when removing makeup – Use soft cotton pads and a nourishing micellar water or oil-based remover to dissolve makeup without excessive tugging or pulling.
- Protect with oversized sunnies – Large UV-blocking sunglasses shield not just your eyes but also the delicate skin around them, helping to prevent sun damage and premature ageing.
- Hydrate from the inside out – Aim for 8–10 glasses of water daily, and up your intake of fresh juices packed with skin-loving ingredients like celery, cucumber, lemon, and spinach. Cutting back on salt can also help reduce puffiness.
- Prioritise beauty sleep – Rest is crucial for bright, youthful eyes. Elevate your head slightly while sleeping to prevent fluid retention and wake up looking refreshed.
