of the body so care must be taken to avoid irritation.

When applying an eye treatment,
don’t forget about your eyebrows. Just like your hair, they will also benefit
from being conditioned.
Keeping it cool
For the longest shelf-life
possible, store your products in the refrigerator. As an added bonus, applying
a chilled product to the eye area can also help to soothe and de-puff.

quickly introduce bacteria and germs to the product. To avoid this, use a clean
cotton swab instead.
1. Cleanse and tone your skin as
required.
2. Using a clean cotton swab,
retrieve a small amount of the product from the container and place on your
ring ringer. Gently dab it onto the skin underneath and around your eyes.
3. Very gently apply the product
with a light pressure around the eye area until it is absorbed. 4. Avoid
getting any of the product in your eye
