The delicate skin around your eyes is up to 10 times thinner than the rest of your face, making it the first place where aging, stress, and fatigue become visible. With fewer oil glands and constant movement from blinking and expressions, this area is uniquely vulnerable to:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dark circles and shadows
- Puffiness and fluid retention
- Dehydration and loss of firmness
- Environmental damage
At Healing Earth, we've developed three distinct eye care solutions, each formulated with African botanicals and proven actives to address specific concerns. This guide will help you choose the perfect treatment for your unique needs.
Understanding Common Eye Area Concerns
Dark Circles: Caused by visible blood vessels, pigmentation, genetics, or lifestyle factors like poor sleep and stress.
Puffiness & Bags: Result from fluid retention, inflammation, weakened muscles, or natural aging processes.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Dynamic wrinkles from repeated facial expressions and static wrinkles from collagen loss and dehydration.
Dryness: Lack of natural oil production leads to crepey texture and emphasizes existing lines.
Loss of Firmness: Collagen and elastin breakdown causes sagging and loss of definition over time.

How to Apply Eye Treatments Correctly
The Right Technique
- Use your ring finger: It applies the least pressure on delicate skin
- Pat, don't rub: Gentle tapping motions encourage absorption
- Follow the orbital bone: Apply around the eye socket, not on the eyelid
- Less is more: A rice grain amount is enough for both eyes
- Apply to damp skin: Helps products absorb and lock in moisture 1
Morning Routine
- Cleanse gently
- Apply eye treatment (De-Stress Gel ideal for AM de-puffing)
- Moisturize face (avoid immediate eye area)
- Apply SPF 30+ around eyes and wear sunglasses
Evening Routine
- Remove makeup thoroughly
- Apply eye treatment (Total Eye Complex or Bakuchiol Elixir)
- Follow with night moisturizer
Pro Tip: Store De-Stress Eye Gel in the fridge for extra cooling, de-puffing power!

Sleep & Rest: 7-9 hours nightly, sleep with head slightly elevated, use silk pillowcase

Screen Care: Follow 20-20-20 rule (every 20 min, look 20 feet away for 20 sec), use blue light blockers
