Learn how to apply Rejuvenating Frankincense Eye & Lip Serum for fine lines around eyes and lips, with step-by-step tips on timing, amount, and layering before moisturiser.
Quick answer
Apply Rejuvenating Frankincense Eye & Lip Serum twice daily to clean skin, using one pump for both areas. Pat a small amount around the eye contour and along the lip line, then follow with moisturiser.
Why this serum works for both eye and lip areas
The eye and lip areas have thinner skin and show fine lines earlier. This light serum is designed to absorb easily and deliver targeted care, so you can treat both zones with one product. It combines frankincense, baobab oil, marine algae, and a smoothing tripeptide to help firm the appearance of skin. Because it is suitable for all skin types, you can use it as an everyday treatment without a complicated routine.
When to apply: morning vs evening
Use the serum twice daily for consistent results. In the morning, apply before moisturiser and sunscreen. In the evening, apply after cleansing and before your night cream. If your skin feels dry, you can use it only once daily to start, then increase frequency as tolerated.
How much to use and where to apply
One pump is enough for both the eye and lip areas. For eyes, dot the serum along the orbital bone, avoiding the lash line. For lips, apply a thin layer along the lip border and slightly beyond. Gently pat—do not rub—to avoid tugging delicate skin.
Step-by-step application
- Cleanse and tone: Start with clean, dry skin. Apply toner if you use one and let it fully absorb. Applying serum to damp skin can dilute it; wait until skin is dry.
- Dispense one pump: Press the pump once to release a small amount onto your fingertip. One pump covers both eye and lip areas. More product does not mean better results—excess can migrate and irritate eyes.
- Dot around the eyes: Gently tap small dots along the orbital bone, from the inner corner outward. Avoid the lash line and inside the eye. Use your ring finger for the lightest pressure.
- Apply along the lip line: Smooth a thin layer along the lip border and slightly beyond, focusing on fine lines around the mouth. Do not apply directly on the lips if you plan to use lipstick immediately after.
- Pat, don't rub: Gently pat the serum into the skin until absorbed. Avoid dragging or pulling the delicate skin. Patting helps absorption and prevents creasing.
- Follow with moisturiser: Wait 30 seconds, then apply your usual moisturiser over the face, including the eye and lip areas. Moisturiser seals in the serum and prevents dryness.
