Eye Refresh: a gentle massage for puffy, tired under-eyes
The under-eye area is delicate and one of the first places to show tiredness. The Eye Refresh is a light tapping massage that helps reduce the look of puffiness and wake up tired-looking eyes.
What it does
Gentle tapping around the orbital bone encourages drainage and circulation in the eye area, so under-eyes look less puffy and more refreshed.
Benefits you may notice
- Less morning puffiness around the eyes
- A brighter, more awake look
- A relaxing moment for tired, screen-strained eyes
How to do it, step by step
- Use your ring fingers, the weakest fingers, so pressure stays light.
- Start at the inner corner along the orbital bone, just under the eye.
- Tap gently outward toward the temples.
- Repeat lightly for about 20 seconds. Never drag the skin.
How often
Great first thing in the morning to de-puff, and again in the evening. Always keep it feather-light around the eyes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using too much pressure; the eye area is thin and delicate.
- Rubbing or dragging instead of tapping.
- Working without a little slip from eye cream or moisturiser.
What results to expect
Puffiness often looks reduced soon after, especially in the morning. Dark circles are largely genetic and about sleep, so expect a fresher, more awake look rather than a cure.
Who it is for and what to pair it with
Ideal for tired eyes and morning puffiness. Pair with the Forehead Smoother for the whole upper face, and see whether your eye cream suits your skin with the product scanner.
Common questions
Can massage get rid of dark circles?
It can brighten the look of tired eyes by easing puffiness, but true dark circles are mostly genetic and sleep-related.
Is it safe around the eyes?
Yes, when kept very light. Use your ring fingers, tap rather than rub, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
