Why You Should Use an Eye Serum in Conjunction with an Eye Cream: The Ultimate Duo for Radiant Eyes
Hands up if you are using an eye cream, but not an eye serum before hand (or vice versa)? We hit a certain point in our lives... most likely when we have kids, that we take notice of the skin and forming lines around our eyes. I have only just recently learnt about the importance of pairing up and eye serum with an eye cream, and the fact that there is NO POINT using one without the other... whaaaaaat!! I have been doing it wrong for so long! But, it is not too late to correct and repair. I mean, who doesn't want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles... am I right? Here are the two MUST-HAVE eye products to incorporate into your beauty routine.
When it comes to skincare, the delicate area around our eyes requires special attention. This skin is thinner, more sensitive, and often the first place to show signs of aging, fatigue, and environmental stress. Incorporating both an eye serum and an eye cream into your daily skincare routine is an essential step in maintaining a youthful, refreshed look. Together, they work synergistically to tackle puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and dryness, while also preparing the skin for makeup application.
The Importance of Using Both Eye Serum and Eye Cream
While an eye cream is formulated to provide long-lasting hydration, an eye serum often has a more concentrated, targeted formula designed to penetrate deeper layers of skin. The serum typically focuses on addressing specific concerns, such as fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles, while the eye cream seals in moisture and helps to lock in the serum’s active ingredients.

How This Duo Works for the Perfect Makeup Base
When you combine the Ultra Care+ Platinum Advanced Eye & Lip Treatment with the Ultra Care Multivitamin Eye Crème, you’re setting up a flawless foundation for makeup application. Here’s how this dynamic duo makes a difference:
- Hydration and Smoothness: Both products work together to deeply hydrate and smooth the skin, ensuring that your concealer or foundation applies evenly without settling into fine lines or creases.
- Reduces Puffiness: The advanced eye serum helps minimise puffiness, making it easier to apply makeup without the concern of under-eye bags disrupting your look.
- Brightens the Eyes: With the added benefit of brightening ingredients, the combination of the serum and cream creates a luminous, radiant under-eye area, which enhances the overall look of your makeup.
- Long-Lasting Makeup Application: Properly prepped skin means your makeup will last longer and look fresher throughout the day. The added moisture from the eye cream ensures that the makeup doesn’t dry out or flake off.
How to Use Eye Serum and Eye Cream
- Start with the Eye Serum: Gently apply a small amount of the Ultra Care+ Platinum Advanced Eye & Lip Treatment around the eye (and lip) area. Use your ring finger to gently tap it in, as this finger applies the least pressure, ensuring delicate skin isn’t tugged or stretched.
- Follow with the Eye Cream: After the serum has absorbed, apply the Ultra Care Multivitamin Eye Crème. This will lock in the serum’s active ingredients and provide extra hydration throughout the day.
- Let It Absorb: Allow both products to absorb completely before moving on to your regular skincare routine or makeup application.

By using Nutrimetics Ultra Care+ Platinum Advanced Eye & Lip Treatment and Ultra Care Multivitamin Eye Crème, you’re giving your skin the nourishment and care it deserves. This combination works together to combat fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles while ensuring that your makeup looks flawless all day long. So, for brighter, smoother, and more youthful eyes, it’s time to make this power duo a staple in your skincare routine.
Living in Australia, we are constantly exposed to some of the most harmful UV rays in the world. Whether you have fair skin and freckles or a darker skin tone, we all need to be conscious about protecting our body and facial skin, to not only prevent skin cancers, but also to prevent premature ageing. I have tried many different brands of moisturisers over the years and I did not fall in love with any. Some were too greasy, some smelt a little strong, others felt too thick then then put makeup on top if I needed to. Having a combination skin type, there just didn't seem to be one that worked for me... Until I found the Nutrimetics Smart Shield Plus SPF50 Face Creme . I Living on the coast and in my line of work, I am often outside. When i use this product, I can rest assured knowing my skin health is being protected. From the matte finish to the advanced skin protection, and the list of ingredients that hydrates the skin, this was the perfect product for me, and all other skin types for that matter. Whether you have oily skin, mature skin, or a more dry skin type, this product suits everyone.
Life as mum, business owner, and managing a household can take its' toll. Let's face it, no-one warned us about just how much an 'adult' actually does, especially a mum. My girls are nearly 7 years and 5 years old, and yes... on occasion can still wake up one to multiple times a night, and for some reason it is ALWASY on a work night! Whyyyyyyy?!?! Along the way i have learnt that two thing are precious - TIME and SLEEP . So, I only have time for what matters... and that includes sleep, as well as feeling good about myself so I can show up as the best version of myself for my family. Lack of sleep plays a key role in my mood, as it does for most people. I must admit that my nighttime skincare routine was lacking this time last year.. I just wanted to get to bed ASAP. But my good friend reminded me that the night is when our skin is restoring, repairing and regenerating, making it very important to take the time to look after it. So now, as soon as the kids are in bed, I do my nighttime routine so that I don't have to do it when I am too tired and not bothered.
