Understanding the specificities of the skin around the eyes
The eye contour is a unique area that deserves special attention. Its fineness (three to five times thinner than the rest of the face) and its low content of collagen and elastin make this part of the face more prone to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark circles. Additionally, the constant blinking of the eyes puts a lot of strain on this area, where the first signs of aging are often visible.
Gently remove makeup from the skin around the eyes
A good skincare routine starts with an effective yet gentle makeup removal. Indeed, the accumulation of makeup and impurities can irritate the skin and cause dark circles or puffiness. Use a gentle makeup remover, such as the lotion démaquillante Grangettes. Its active ingredients soothe, hydrate, and cleanse the skin, leaving it clean and fresh.

For a fresh and radiant look, this eye contour treatment reveals all its secrets!
Protect your eyes from the sun
The sun is one of the main factors of skin aging. The eye area, which is particularly fragile, must be protected all year round with a sunscreen SPF 30 or 50 specially formulated for the face. Also wear sunglasses, which protect against UV rays and reduce the formation of expression lines caused by squinting.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle
The condition of the eye contour is also influenced by our lifestyle. To avoid tightness, puffiness, and dark circles, make sure to get enough sleep. Indeed, lack of sleep promotes the appearance of dark circles and dull complexion.
Also learn to manage stress, which accelerates skin aging. Finally, avoid tobacco and alcohol, as these substances dehydrate the skin and speed up the appearance of wrinkles.
Use suitable anti-aging care
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet) appear. To slow down this process, choose anti-aging active-enriched treatments:
- The vitamin C brings radiance to your complexion;
- peptides stimulate the production of collagen;
- Niacinamide strengthens the hydrolipid film of the skin and the skin barrier to retain moisture. By reducing water loss, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The Grangettes anti-aging cream contains powerful anti-aging active ingredients that work to structure and replenish the extracellular matrix of the skin barrier. To take care of your skin around the eyes, it is ideal.

Massages to take care of the skin around the eyes
When you apply your daily care, perform gentle self-massages around the eyes. Draining helps reduce puffiness by stimulating circulation: it is a great ally for refreshing and brightening the gaze by de-puffing the area under the eyes.
You can perform the massages either with your hands or with a semi-precious massage stone, such as the gua sha. Use the gua sha as flat as possible to make the movement smooth and pleasant, simply by gliding over your face.
Draining massage
- Apply a cream or oil suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes.
- With the tips of your fingers (index and middle), make light tapping motions from the inner corner to the outside, under the eye.
- Repeat this small gesture 10 to 15 times to activate the lymphatic circulation and reduce swelling.
The smoothing anti-wrinkle massage
- With the index and middle fingers, and without applying too much pressure, make gentle circular movements around the eyes.
- Gently smooth the skin starting from the inner corner of the eye towards the temples.
- Repeat 5 to 10 times to relax the muscles around the eyes and prevent wrinkles.
The lifting effect massage
- Place your index fingers under the eyebrows and apply a slight upward pressure for 5 seconds.
- Make small circular movements on the temples to relax the area.
- Repeat 3 to 5 times to lift the gaze naturally.
