Must-Do Beauty Regimen: Masks!

Filed under Eye Skin Care
I recently read an article in Shape Magazine talking about the importance of applying masks three times a week as part of you anti aging and eye skin care regimen. That’s right – 3 times a week!
The latest masks are potent, thick and packed with anti aging ingredients for relief of eye puffiness and dark circles.
“Even though they’re only on your skin for 10-20 minutes, it’s because they’re so thick and heavy that they’re able to penetrate and drive their heavy duty, age-busting ingredients deep within your skin – and quickly”, says Jeanette Graf, M.D., a dermatologist in New York.
Among some of the new, hard-core masks Shape.com recommends are:
1. Aveda Enbrightenment Brightening Intensive Massage Mask (fades dark spots with vitamin c and mulberry root extract)
2. ReVive Masque de Glaise (promotes cell recovery and turnover for relief of those eye bags)
Another mask that I absolutely love (also happens to be by one of my favorite skin care brands) is Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Hydration Mask. (It feels cool and refreshing, also utilizing natural ingredients!)
Masks are great because not only are they fun to put on (by yourself our with some girlfriends), refreshing and revitalizing, but they are great for spot-treating your problem areas.

Turn on the television and commercial after commercial shows an array of products guaranteed to improve the look of your skin. These all seem to be an affordable eye wrinkles process that will have some benefits. Most of these products will contain similar properties.
Alpha Hydroxy is one such compound. Alpha Hydroxy helps to peel a layer of skin from the face. This can help with the over all appearance of the skin. Products for eye wrinkles that contain antioxidants are helpful in maintaining skin condition, too.
Vitamins A and E is another important ingredient for an affordable eye wrinkles formula. Wearing sunscreen is an easy and and necessary to combat eye wrinkles. Wearing sunglasses is a must, also. The sun causes skin damage making the skin appear much older. So avoiding sun exposure is a simple way to keep the skin looking younger.

In an industry full of over-priced and over-marketed products, it’s so refreshing to see a cosmetics company provide effective products at affordable prices. Oil of Olay has been around for years and continues to evolve and create groundbreaking products that don’t break the bank. Olay Regenerist eye products consistently get rave reviews, and I’ve heard great things about their Professional ProX line as well.
One of the best things about Olay is that when you buy their products online rather than in a store, they often give you perks like free shipping, free samples and discounts on future purchases. Who doesn’t love free stuff and discounts? They are even more welcome and appreciated in this challenging economy.
I especially like the Olay ProX line, because it contains age repair lotion SPF to combat eye wrinkles and an eye restoration complex for firming and brightness.
Do you use any Olay eye products? If so, leave a comment and share your results!

Best Eye Skin Care Products Don’t Include Chemicals

Did you know that many of us put over 200 chemicals on our skin every day? And 60 percent are absorbed into our blood stream! Now that’s scary. Research tells us that some of these chemicals are affecting our health and may be the reason behind some chronic skin conditions and even some cancers. You need to think twice before you buy another cream to get rid of under eye puffiness.
All the more reason to buy natural and organic eye skin care products, wouldn’t you agree?
Natural and organic eye skin care products are gentle on the inside, while working on the outside to rejuvenate skin and make it naturally beautiful – just the way it was intended. After all, our skin under the eyes is our most delicate. So we need to be careful what we put on it.
Need a recommendation for a GREAT organic eye cream? Try 100% Pure’s Coffe Bean Eye Cream: (it’s only $19!)
This eye cream smells wonderful and works even better – it was all the rage when we first tried it on! Everybody got to experience it!
There are a lot of good health and beauty products that are non-toxic and safe. You just have to search for them. In my opinion, they truly are what make up the best eye creams out there. The therapeutic qualities that lie within mother nature have been used in the ancient traditions and customs and begun with our ancestors.
Please make sure you carefully select the products for your eye skin care…don’t be one of those people who are subjecting their skin to hundreds of chemicals each day. When in doubt, look for the USDA label.
Baby Boomers Want Younger Eyes

As the enormous number of baby boomers get up in age, the impacts are being felt in just about every industry. For many industries, the aging of the baby boomers presents a unique and large opportunity like never before. Never has a generation been so eager to maintain an incredibly active lifestyle and desire to maintain a younger look as they age. And that means finding ways to keep your eye skin care top notch.
Despite all their best intentions of healthy eating and staying active, as people age several inevitable things begin to happen that are mostly beyond control. The most obvious sign of aging is eye wrinkles.
Given this, there has been tremendous development in the cosmetic development of eye wrinkle cream as evidence by all of the “get rid of eye wrinkles” commercials out there. Given that just about everyone develops eye wrinkles as they age, it is absolutely no surprise that a lot of money is being poured into developing new solutions to eye wrinkles. Given the wealth of the boomers and their deep desire to remain looking young this will be one business that should see a tremendous amount of success.
Among the “Boomers” top favorites? The new Olay Anti-aging line. Not too expensive, and an all-familiar brand we love!
Organic Eye Cream: Juice Beauty Green Apple Eye Cream

Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream is one of the best organic eye wrinkle creams I’ve found.
It’s packed with antioxidant juice concentrates, including organic apple, carrot, cucumber and avocado, and vitamin antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E. These antioxidants protect against the free radicals that cause eye wrinkles and other signs of aging, and they work together to moisturize while firming the skin by stimulating collagen production. Plus, it contains some of the hottest ingredients in anti aging right now: peptides, DMAE, alpha-lipoic acid and co-enzyme Q10. The combination of these ingredients make this eye wrinkle cream a powerful wrinkle fighter.
The entire Juice Beauty skin care line, including the Juice Beauty green apple collection, is completely paraben-free and contains the highest organic content in skin care.
Here’s a video interview of Juice Beauty’s creator, Karen Behnke, in which she explains how she uses these 100% organic juice-based formulations to make skin healthier and more youthful.

Blend Products to Help with Puffy Eye Problems and Dark Circles

A great new way to get the look you want is by blending products. If you suffer from puffy eye problems and dark circles, you may want to use an eye cream plus a good concealer to do the trick. Sometimes by doubling up on your efforts, you are able to attack the problem much more effectively. A lot of beauty insiders agree, recommending 2 products for your given problem.
For puffy eye issues, try using one of your favorite best eye creams or if you don’t have one, try Garnier’s anti-puff eye roll-on. And then try one of those age-old home remedies like caffeinated tea bags to reduce morning on-the-spot puffiness.
For dark circles, try pairing one of your dark circle creams (a good one to try is Reviva Labs Vitamin K Cream – available at the best eye creams store) with a good concealer. For optimal results you’ll need two concealers: one a shade lighter than your foundation to downplay dark, blue-toned under-eye circles and it will make skin appear brighter. The other should match foundation to help cover red blemishes or broken capillaries. Use a thin makeup brush and apply the concealer to the inner- eye corners first (where circles usually are darkest) and spread it lightly outward.
Ones to try:
For Dark circles: Jane Iredale’s Delete Dark Under Eye Concealer
For puffy eyes: Bioelement’s Multi-Task Eye Creme
For Pimples: Tarte’s Eraser Smooth Concealer with anti-inflammatory arnica
For Dark Circles: Aveda Inner Light concealer made with reflective mica
None of these are too expensive – so have fun and mix up those perfect beauty concoctions!
