Most of us would have some degree of concerns on our eye area, it could be due to lack of sleep as 24 hours a day is so limited, poor diet or lack of knowledge on taking care of delicate areas around the eyes. I will be addressing some of the issues and remedy for dark circles, puffy eyes and wrinkles through Caudalie’s Eye Workshop, which I’ve attended a few weeks ago.
This is my very first encounter with Caudalie, it is pronounced as ‘coh-dah-lee’, a French brand from Bordeaux, founded by a couple Mathilde and Bertrand in 1993. Caudalie uses grape-seeds, grapevine sap and grapevine stalks in its product and exclusive patents.

It was a privilege to have Mr.Hubert, Caudalie’s Head of Trainer with us on this workshop. He had shared some quick facts about our eyes and remedy or tips for dark circles, puffy eyes and wrinkles through an introduction to Caudalie’s eye care products.
Main concerns includes puffy eyes, dark circles, fine line and wrinkles and droopy eye lids.
Quick Facts:
- Our eyes do not need any rest to function. When resting our eyelids by closing them, our eyes are still function, as it needs no rest. Our eyes are the only part of our body that has the ability to function 100% without any rest!
- An average person blinks about 12 times per minute, and up to 10,000 blinks a day, the eye muscles are the most active.
- The skin around our eye area is 10 times thinner compared to any area of our face. Therefore, it is extremely delicate, which means fine lines and wrinkles form faster around the eyes. Not to mention, daily eye make up, eye removing and rubbing eyes pulls and strain the delicate area, exposing to a higher chance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Mr.Hubert also taught us some ways to apply eye cream with the proper technique on massaging around our eye areas, so that the cream will penetrate into the inner layer of our skin while it’s a good way of relaxation after a long day.
- Start with gently tapping eye cream from outwards to inwards under the eye with your ring finger.
- Move on to the eye brows, moving gently from inward to outward, pressing and squeezing slightly with your thumb and index finger.
- Proceed on to crows feet (side of the eyes), massage with middle fingers in circular motions (about 3 circles).
- Lastly, gently continue on with your middle fingers, pressing inwards under your eyes to the nose bridge.
Tip: Always use your ring finger when applying eye cream as they are the most delicate, with less strength hence, it will not pull our fragile skin around the eye area.
It was a great workshop, apart from the amazing eye products (wish I had the chance to get one to try, soon probably), I purchased the Eau De Raisin (Grape Water) face mist. It’s my favourite item now as it kept my face hydrated all day long, especially during my Taiwan trip plus, a great way to freshen up yourself after long hours of facing in front of the computer.
