Eye Balms

Eye balms in K-Beauty skincare are nourishing treatments specifically designed to hydrate, soothe, and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Often richer and thicker than eye creams, eye balms provide long-lasting moisture and can help address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more susceptible to dryness, signs of aging, and damage. Eye balms are used in K-Beauty routines to provide intensive hydration, combat signs of fatigue, and maintain a youthful and vibrant eye area.

Eye balms are typically formulated to be gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, because they're often more concentrated than eye creams, people with very oily skin might prefer lighter formulations. As with all skincare products, it's recommended to conduct a patch test first to assess skin tolerance.

Eye balm should be applied after cleansing, toning, and applying serum, but before moisturizer. Using your ring finger, take a small amount of the eye balm and gently pat it around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. The warmth from your skin will melt the balm, allowing it to absorb effectively.

Eye balms in K-Beauty skincare are designed to offer intense hydration, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce puffiness, and brighten the under-eye area. They help maintain the skin's elasticity and resilience, promoting a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Yes, eye balms can be used daily, usually once or twice depending on the specific product and your skin's needs. They are generally applied in the evening as part of a nighttime skincare routine, although some can also be used in the morning for added hydration.

While some immediate effects like increased hydration and soothing might be noticed, significant changes such as reduced fine lines and lightened dark circles usually require consistent use over several weeks. The exact timeframe can depend on the active ingredients in the product and individual skin characteristics.
