Almost all eye contour products should be applied only to the under-eye area and gently patted or smoothed in.
Do not allow eye contour products to encroach the eye line or apply them to the eyelids unless specifically directed.
Through blinking and the fine movement of fine muscles around the eye, any eye product not immediately absorbed into the skin will slip up from where it was originally applied.
Remember: it is contraindicated to evenly "coat" the entire eye area when using most eye contour products.
Tingling and prickling are possible side effects during the initial stages of using more active/therapeutic eye contour skin treatments.
If present these symptoms will typically subside as the skin's nutrient level is restored to a more beneficial level.
Stress, pollution, smoking, medication intake and sun exposure can extend any acclimatization period.
Ongoing medication intake may provoke ongoing mild sensory side effects.
Incorrect use of eye contour products can lead to eye irritation, cyst formation and over time the development of hypersensitivity or allergies.
The same caveats apply to facial products and sunscreens not intended for use around the eyes, only moreso.
Darphin Eye Contour Treatments are suitable for application to the eyelids.
