"Hi! I'm Gila for Expert Village. Now I'll be talking about eye cream and eye care around the eye zone. What happens is in our skin, the skin around the eyes is the most sensitive of the whole body. The skin around the eyes is the softest and most delicate. It's also very thin, which is why we are prone to have more wrinkles in that area. Usually, eye cream come in very small containers because the cream is very concentrated in vitamins in order to take care of that tiny zone. At the same time, because it's a small zone, we only need a little bit. I'll be showing you right now in how to apply the cream. Using a tiny drop onto our fingertips, we use a moon like application. Around the eye just like a moon, we put the cream on both sides. We use drops around the eye area, very tiny drops. You this moon picture. Then we'll gently, gently rubbing it into the skin upwards and making sure that the skin absorbs the cream. You don't want to be leaving white traces behind you. This is a very, very wonderful way of taking care of this skin area instead of just the regular facial moisturizer. You're giving this area special attention by using an eye moisturizer. This area is different in it's texture of the skin than the whole body and the rest of the face. This skin next to the eyes is very delicate and also creates a lot of mimic expressions that we use when we squint at the sun or when we're talking or laughing. We use this whole area of the eyes to express a lot of feelings. This creates a lot of pressure to this area of the skin, which is also another reason why the tendency to have wrinkles is created. That's why it's important to take care of this area. First, by patting the moon like cream, and then doing circular motion around the eyes and taking care of."
