Instructions for use
* Leave for 5-10 minutes, then remove any excess remaining by pressing a paper tissue onto the eyelid and then ""peeling"" it away.
* Use in the morning after cleansing and moisturising.
* Use a very small amount only and warm it between your fingertips - this makes it easier to apply.
Hints and tips
* Apply before steaming your face and treating yourself to a sauna, to protect the sensitive skin around the eyes.
* Eye Contour Day Balm should not be used at night time. The skin uses this time to excrete toxins, and we recommend that no creamy substances should therefore be applied.
* Use Cleansing Milk to remove make-up by applying with a moist cotton wool ball, then wiping out across the eye. Repeat until make-up is removed.
* Dr.Hauschka Mascara is a good cosmetic for sensitive eyes. Eye Contour Day Balm
The delicate skin around the eyes is soothed, toned and strengthened with this cream containing special plant extracts and oils. Use in the mornings after moisturising. More information about Eye Contour Day Balm
