How to Get a Lifted-Looking Eye Area Without Visiting Your Derm
Lifted is the new snatched with many a TikTok derm demonstrating how to get a more lifted appearance – particularly in the eye area -- using Botox and fillers. Fortunately, those of us who would rather get a lifted look without a needle also have options.
It’s only natural to lose volume and elasticity in your face as you age, causing a sagging appearance especially around your eyes. Plumping and firming skin using science-backed skincare can go a long way towards creating a lifted-looking eye area without visiting your dermatologist.
Clinically-Proven Ingredients to Lift and Firm
The key to getting a lifted-looking eye area with skincare is using products that plump skin with long-lasting hydration while also firming and increasing skin elasticity.
These include:
Paracress Extract – A star ingredient in our Marine Algae Eye Cream, this medicinal floral extract is proven to instantly and visibly lift and firm the skin upon application. Ectoin – This protective hydrator binds with water to plump fine lines and wrinkles why providing deep and lasting hydration. Peptides – Peptides such as polyglutamic acid, argireline (found in our Peptide Eye Gel), and copper peptides support the production of collagen and elastin in the skin to firm, tighten, and add bounce. Ceramides – These naturally-occurring lipids support the skin’s moisture barrier while plumping fine lines and wrinkles.
A 4 Step Routine for a Lifted-Looking Eye Area
Boosting moisture levels and supporting collagen production throughout your face – alongside some extra TLC in the eye area – can make your eye area appear more lifted. Follow this easy, four-step routine for maximum results.
1. Cleanse with Antioxidant Cleansing Oil
Sleeping with your eye makeup on can cause your skin to appear prematurely aged. Our Antioxidant Cleansing Oil gently and effortlessly removes impurities and makeup – even waterproof mascara – while adding a burst of hydration to leave skin feeling soft and moisturized.
2. Lift and Firm Under Eyes
Smooth and lift delicate undereye skin with our duo of eye treatments. Apply Peptide Eye Gel during the day to quench dehydrated skin while improving the appearance of dark circles. At night, Marine Algae Eye Cream provides an instant lift alongside deep and lasting moisture to plump and smooth crepey skin.
3. Treat with Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum
Our viral skin-quenching serum instantly plumps as ectoin and polyglutamic acid flood skin with continuous hydration while copper peptides support collagen production to increase elasticity and add bounce.
4. Moisturize Day and Night
Plump and smooth skin while prepping it for morning makeup application with Omega Repair Cream. Our deeply nourishing moisturizer uses ceramides and beneficial lipids to deliver lasting hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier for healthier, younger-looking skin.
At night, Ectoin Overnight Rescue pairs calming, barrier-boosting magnesium with the water-binding, protective qualities of ectoin in a rich, velvety night cream that acts as a veil for vulnerable or damaged skin. This breakthrough formula helps to strengthen and rebuild skin’s appearance, soothing irritation and plumping fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing its daily defense mechanism by strengthening the barrier.
