Putting on an eye cream?  Tap, tap, tap is for the birds, birds, birds!  Your skin is meant to be strong and tolerant, and babying your skin is like spoiling your kids—they grow up to be weak and lazy.

Instead of tapping your skin with your pinkie, Dr. Obagi recommeds that you pat your skin firmly.  You’ll be stimulating your skin cells—keeping them awake and vibrant.  Don’t overdue it, though—stretching and pulling and tugging will over-stress the elastin fibers.
