Puffy Eyes - Give your eyes a wakeup call with this beauty secret
August 23, 2008 No Comments
Have puffy eyes? Need to tame the redness? Have some lines around the eyes you’d rather not show off to the world?
Lack of sleep tends to result in many of the biggest issues I write about in these beauty reviews. Not to worry, there are beauty secrets even for the most sleep deprived among us.
It’s hard to conquer the aging process, and for some of us, the battle begins with our eyes. The delicate skin to be found there shows stress, fatigue, and even illness and allergies. If you’re looking for a way to fight this, you might try a handy little product called Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.
The one-use gels are applied just under your eyes, once a week for ten minutes. Small enough to toss in your handbag or in your car, you can use them on the go; whether you’re waiting in traffic or commuting on an airplane. Besides, I like beauty secrets that require me to close my eyes for a few minutes!
Nobody likes to look out at the world from puffy, lined eyes, and this is a great way to relax a bit while taking better care of yourself. Paying attention to the eye area just once a week will bring you long-term benefits; you’ll look better and feel better, too.
Eye gels do beat cucumber slices, which tend to rot and drip if taken along in your purse – they aren’t very portable and unless you also enjoy eating cucumbers, they end up being wasted. So you don’t need to go through the day looking as tired as you feel. And the real beauty secret is that once you look more energized, you’re likely to feel that way!

As we age our skin loses its elasticity. This can happen as early as in your twenties. What you get is skin that doesn’t snap back like it used to. What happens then? Wrinkles, sags and you start to look older. So if you are waging the war against aging, there are a few tools that you can use that will really help you step up your game. But don’t go thinking that you need to buy a whole bunch of stuff to put on your face, because you really don’t. A few good products can go a long way in helping you stay looking young and fresh.
Sephora has a great selection of anti aging skincare products that will help improve your skin’s elasticity and help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. There are products for the eye area, around the mouth and for the face and neck. You have such a great choice of products from some of the biggest names in skincare and beauty, you’re gonna have a tough time choosing just one. But I’m going to make your choice a little easier. I have scoured the Sephora.com website and I have come up with three of the best and brightest anti aging skincare treatments that I will show you here.
Let’s start with Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum 1 oz. Did I mention that you can only find it at Sephora? Well this multivitamin face serum is enriched with vital nutrients. It protects your skin from the environment and aids skin in repairing damage. It helps to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, even out pigmentation and firm up skin that has lost its elasticity. It also helps to stimulate elastin and collagen production. This is very important for restoring the skin’s tone, volume, quality and texture. Clinical trials on the MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum showed a 63% increase in protection against free radicals which is stimulated by UV radiation. What you get out of all of this is skin that has a more youthful and healthy appearance.
Now, if you’re looking for something more natural, organic even, I have something to show you. Juice Beauty Antioxidant Serum 2 oz is really great for leaving you with healthy, glowing skin. The Antioxidant Serum is rich with vitamins and enzymes which help to combat the signs of stress and damage to your skin from the environment. It protects your skin and helps it rebuild collagen, encouraging the regeneration of skin cells while it dehydrates your skin. What does this mean to you? Well, how does having skin that is healthy, revitalized and glowing sound?
I want to tell you about the natural stuff that is in here cause it is really cool. The Antioxidant Serum has certified organic oils that regenerate and nourish your skin because they contain essential vitamins and minerals. It contains nettle, a natural antiseptic, that purifies your skin while toning it. Vitamins A and E, as well as green tea, work hard to fight free radicals. Finally, the essential oils of Bulgarian rose and rosewood give this age fighting serum an aura of love, peace and serenity - all of which are associated with the oils. In short, it does a double whammy on stress.
This third product is a little different, but way cool. The neat part is that this treatment can be used with any of the other treatments. This is Murad Optimal Health & Beauty Dietary Supplement. This is a once a day supplement that has special cell strengthening and hydrating vitamins to give a real boost to your skin’s health. Optimal Health and Beauty gives you 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for 16 essential vitamins and mineral. You take them daily and they come in packets that contain all of the nutrient supplements that you need. It will help you have a healthier complexion, younger looking skin, as well as healthier all the way around (hey, I bet it even helps your hair and nails!).
Clinical studies were done on the Optimal Health and Beauty Supplements by Murad and within two weeks, skin hydration increased by 40% while after eight weeks skin firmness increased by 58%. This is one little beauty tool that is too good to pass up.
We all know that there is no real fountain of youth, but you don’t really need it if you take care of your skin and treat it with kindness and care. These products that I have mentioned to you here are great for helping you win the war on aging.
