Ms. Mansi Kaushik, Sr. Manager New Product Development, TheMan Company shares a stepwise guide for applying eye gel for effective results.
Wash the face thoroughly and apply the gel as small dots around the eyes: The tip here is to use eye gel as any other skincare goodie and not consume too much of it in a single use. While applying it, be careful of the eyelash line as the gel might enter the eyes and cause irritation.
Massage gently in circular motions: You can either use your fingers or a steel roller-head available with a few alternatives in the market. The movement should be from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye. Avoid rubbing as the skin is quite delicate, and asserting too much pressure can cause skin damage or wrinkles.
Repeat tapping motion until the gel is absorbed: With a very gentle movement of fingers, continue the tapping motion until the skin, for the best results, absorbs the product.
Leave it overnight and sleep sound: It sounds like a mantra and works like a charm. You will need a sound sleep to see the best results from the eye gel.
Wash the face thoroughly and feel the freshness: You will be able to see some visible difference in the morning after washing the face thoroughly with lukewarm water ( a gentle face wash.)
