A simple yet effective eye care routine

In 3 easy steps to reduce puffiness, lifting, deep hydration and calming of the eye area

Many rhymes have been sung about eyes and their gaze, many deep thoughts and philosophies have been expressed, many rhymes and metaphors have been composed, many romantic gestures have been made. Whatever we think about phrases like “the eyes are the mirror of the soul” and whether we are, for example, in a romantic or cynical phase of life, the indisputable facts remain – 1. the eyes and the area around the eyes outline our everyday life; 2. our eyes show pleasure and sadness; 3. the eyes (read: under them) show a good night’s entertainment and the number of cocktails we have drunk! and, ultimately, 4. the area around the eyes shows a lack of hydration and proper care.

The skin around the eyes is one of the thinnest and most delicate areas on our face and requires a dedicated, enhanced care routine.
We probably all agree that it is important to know how to care for the eye area with hydrating products such as eye patches, serums, and eye creams.

All of us who still haven't found answers to all the questions about eye care and who belong to the so-called Skin Tok audience who have watched thousands of videos and Instagram posts advising us what and how to do, certainly agree on a few more things - we want products that are easy to use, that "behave" well under makeup, and that will help our skin be as healthy as possible.

In short, skincare doesn't have to be difficult! To prove this, below we present three quick steps to a beauty routine that is as simple as it is effective.

How to develop an eye skin care routine 

The skin around the eyes is thin and delicate. It has fewer sebaceous glands, less collagen, and poorer circulation than other parts of the body, making it prone to dryness, sagging, and wrinkles. Therefore, every step in its care (let's put it dramatically) is crucial!

Step 1 Cleanse the skin thoroughly

Before applying products to the eye area, the skin must be perfectly clean so that the subsequent steps of care can be effective. Wait! Have you removed your makeup? This is actually the step before the first step: L'ADRIA Cleansing balm is used to remove waterproof makeup and all other impurities. It does this very gently with the help of a magical texture that transforms from balm to oil, from oil to moisturizing milk. Removing makeup with L'ADRIA Cleansing balm is one of those experiences that is difficult to describe in words. In fact, one word is enough: magical!

This product is a great choice for all skin types because it is non-drying, deeply cleanses, and rinses off completely without leaving a greasy feeling.

And, here we are, still at step 1, because now is the right time for L'ADRIA Nourishing cleanser, a creamy gel for gentle facial cleansing. Place a small amount of the gel in the palm of your hand, lather lightly and wash your face with gentle movements. It is advisable to use the coldest water possible when rinsing off the L'ADRIA creamy gel to further stimulate circulation and prepare the eye area for the key step of care.

Step 2 Targeted care with Eye patches

Those who have tried it know that Eye patches are Superheroes for the sensitive eye area. Gel pads soaked in serum are a must-have for the modern lifestyle.

While eye creams provide overall care, this product provides targeted treatment for the eye area. If the goal is to reduce puffiness, lift, deeply hydrate, soothe with a pleasant feeling of coolness, then  L'ADRIA Eye patches - biodegradable gel pads for the eye area based on seaweed gel and infused with a hydrating revitalizing serum - are a great solution. Packed with powerful ingredients, they focus on hydrating, firming, brightening and reducing puffiness. They can be used at any time of the day. In the morning, they can be applied after cleansing and before applying other products to give your eyes an instant glow, and in the evening - as part of your relaxation routine after a long, long day.

Step 3 Deeply nourishing marine eye cream

After using E ye patches, it is ideal to continue your routine by applying L'ADRIA eye cream.  to lock in moisture, further hydrate the eye area, and achieve a rested, smoothed appearance with less visible wrinkles. This is the key moment of the routine: E ye patches , then cream!

Apply this velvety, creamy texture gently, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. One way to apply the cream is to place a small amount on your ring finger and gently pat the product under the eyes to avoid any unwanted skin tightening. Be sure to give the cream time to absorb into the skin.

A small eye lexicon:

-        Eye creams are often thicker and richer in active ingredients than face creams.

-        Eye patches are usually made of hydrogel and are soaked in serum. They are infused with ingredients that work on the under-eye area, reducing puffiness and hydrating the skin.

-        Olive squalane helps restore the skin barrier for long-lasting hydration and comfort

-        Caffeine and Adriatic algae soothe, hydrate and reduce puffiness and the appearance of wrinkles, providing a smooth and rested appearance.
