Should I exfoliate before or after using an eye cream?

Short answer: You should exfoliate before using an eye cream.

Detailed answer

It is generally recommended to exfoliate before using an eye cream. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, allowing the eye cream to penetrate more effectively. By exfoliating first, you create a clean canvas for the eye cream to work its magic. However, be gentle when exfoliating the delicate skin around the eyes and use a mild exfoliant specifically formulated for this area. After exfoliating, gently pat the eye area dry and then apply your eye cream using a gentle tapping motion with your ring finger. This will ensure the eye cream is absorbed properly and helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness.
