Using too much or too little eye cream
This is the number one mistake many women make. Due to the misconception that applying a large amount of eye cream will quickly reduce dark circles, too much eye cream has been used.
Applying too much eye cream can cause puffiness, uneven light reflection, and even lead to the formation of new wrinkles. On the other hand, using too little eye cream will also not give you the desired results. Only a pea-sized amount of cream should be used each time. Apply the cream from the outer corner of the eye towards the brow, then massage.

Not using sunscreen on the eye area
Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to premature aging, the formation of wrinkles and dark circles. Therefore, protecting the eye area from the sun is extremely important. Forgetting to apply sunscreen can make the eye area more vulnerable to damage and accelerate aging. To effectively protect the eye area, be sure to apply sunscreen to this area daily.
Rubbing your eyes frequently
The action of constantly rubbing your eyes will stimulate the skin, increase swelling and puffiness, and promote the formation of wrinkles. Additionally, it can damage the iris and cause eye problems.
Use moisturizing and soothing eye products such as rose water, serum, or specialized eye creams. If your eyes are irritated, try using a warm cloth or tea bag compress.

Applying eye cream to the wrong areas
The skin around the eyes also needs special care as it is very thin and sensitive. By neglecting to moisturize this area, you are doing your skin a disservice. Apply the cream evenly from the outer corner of the eye, along the cheekbone, to the end of the brow. Also, remember to apply a thin layer to the upper and lower eyelids for comprehensive care of the eye area.
Applying eye cream too vigorously
Many people have the habit of applying eye cream with strong rubbing and massaging motions, which can cause the skin to sag. You should gently massage the area, gradually increasing the pressure to allow the cream to be fully absorbed. Perform gentle tapping or circular motions with your fingertips from the outer corner of the eye towards the brow. Avoid rubbing or pulling the skin too hard.
