Skin specialist names her 5 anti-aging rules for your eyes – be sure to use the right finger to apply skincare
SKIN around the eyes can remain youthful if you embrace five habits, according to an expert.
Her tips include the anti-aging ingredients needed in every beauty routine and how to apply them correctly.
Georgina East is an award-winning skin specialist with over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry.
She is the owner of Grafton Spa and Wellness Ltd in Northamptonshire and runs the Harley Street Skin Transformation Clinic SKNfluence.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she shared advice for eyes that defy the signs of aging.
CURE FOR CREASES
East said under-eye skin is “delicate” therefore it’s important to use an eye cream that’s been specially formulated for the area.
She revealed that the best ingredients to look out for when buying products depend on the skin issue being targeted.
She said vitamin C is best for dark circles, peptides are best for wrinkles, and soothing agents are needed to treat puffiness.
“Use your ring fingertip to apply skin care products around the eyes,” she said.
“Be gentle to avoid tugging or stretching the delicate skin.”
CRUCIAL COSMETICS
East said it’s equally important to be “gentle” when removing eye makeup.
She revealed that failing to do so can have an adverse effect on skin health.
“Always cleanse your skin and remove makeup before applying anti-aging creams,” she said.
“This ensures better absorption and effectiveness.”
She advised being mindful to read the ingredients in skincare products before using them.
“Stick to special eye creams and eye cleansers rather than using harsh products on the eye area,” she said.
“Harsh ingredients can exacerbate sensitivity and cause irritation.”
EFFECTIVE EXTRAS
East said being consistent with a skincare routine is crucial for achieving the desired results.
Consistency is key for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

She recommended locking in moisture by applying a cream or oil while the body is in “repair mode” at night.
Matis Response Corps Youth Hand Cream SPF10 encourages cell renewal, hydrates, and protects from solar radiation.
She said smoking can “accelerate” the aging process, so the habit needs to be stopped to achieve a youthful appearance.
Lastly, East recommended wearing gloves when possible to protect the skin from environmental damage and harsh chemicals.
