How to keep wrinkles and dark circles at bay.

Como manter rugas e olheiras bem longe - MPL beauty

The skin around the eyes and lips is the most sensitive and delicate on the face. It's one of the places where we start to see the first expression lines, and it's also an area where dark circles and darker skin indicate that our detoxification systems may not be working as well as they could be.

How should we care for the eye contour area?

After cleansing your face, you should apply an eye serum , even before your regular facial serum or cream. And why a serum? It's much better and faster absorbed by the skin, and safer for those with sensitive skin who tend to react when moisturizing this area. Our Effective Serum has the added bonus of a stainless steel roll-on, making it perfect for refreshing this area and helping to reduce puffiness. With oils and plant extracts rich in Vitamin C , its antioxidant action firms the skin, softens dark circles and puffiness , and keeps the skin soft and hydrated.

Pump it up! Effective Serum + Gua Sha Mushrooms

For even more effective care, we recommend the Eye Kit , a combination of serum and Gua Sha Mushrooms . If you already use or are familiar with Gua Sha for face and body, these little stones should definitely be part of your routine. With a shape ideal for massaging the eye contour, they help stimulate skin elasticity, boost blood circulation and the lymphatic system, and improve the absorption of your serum . They are perfect after a sleepless night to invigorate the eyes – especially if you keep them in the refrigerator to experience the thermal shock. You can watch the video with Mafalda's explanation to have no doubts about how to use this incredible beauty tool!

Other tips for eye contouring

Hydration. If your eyes are puffy, it's a sign of inflammation and fluid retention. It's super important that you drink your water. Right after waking up, we suggest a few Detox Drops to wake up your body and get your body's cleansing systems going. And don't forget to stay hydrated throughout the day. If you add a few Beauty Drops , in addition to boosting hydration thanks to rose water and silica, the delicious flavor might help you drink more water.

Movement. It's important to stimulate blood circulation to boost the lymphatic system's ability to rid the body of accumulated waste and toxins, which in turn result in things like swelling. This is just one of the many reasons why you should invest in physical exercise, even if it's just walking or lighter workouts. Back to your beauty routine, Gua Sha mushrooms can be your best friends – extra points if you put them in the refrigerator and enjoy the thermal shock. Regular lymphatic drainage with a facial brush is also a great routine to implement.

Cold water. If possible, opt for cold water in your morning shower. If you prefer to take it slow, start with warm water and then finish with about 1 minute under cold water. It's highly effective for activating circulation and lymphatic drainage. You know how invigorated you feel after a dip in the sea? It's more or less like that! And nothing is more effective for waking you up and starting the day. So yes, you're ready for your eye care routine.
