Trying to find the right eye wrinkle cream can be a tough task. Trying to find the perfect eye cream with the right ingredients is an entirely different matter. How can you know the right ingredients to search for? Here are 3 proven ingredients that work to firm your skin, improve the appearance of wrinkles, eliminate puffy eyes and keep your skin hydrated, healthy and youthful!
1. Cynergy TK: To be short, this ingredient helps replace keratin in your skin. Keratin, in turn, works to replace the collagen and elastin that is lost in your skin. You may be asking, “What is keratin in the first place?” Keratin is a protein that is very tough and strong. It’s found in places like your hair, nails and on the surface of your skin. Keratin ensures our skin is able to regenerate itself. Studies have shown that within 3 weeks, wrinkles are improved, fine lines are reduced and facial sagging improves. This is one ingredient you want to have in your eye cream!
2. Phytessence Wakame: This natural ingredient is actually derived from kelp, a type of seaweed or sea algae, found in and around Japan. Although this kelp is normally consumed, it has been found that this is an excellent ingredient in facial and eye wrinkle cream. It has a large assortment of nutrients such as calcium, minerals and vitamins. Phytessence Wakame also contains high amounts of iron and potassium. When all of these nutrients and ingredients collaborate, the result is moisturized and hydrated skin that keeps you looking healthy and young!
3. Eyeliss: This ingredient highly targets under eye bags. Puffiness is caused by a fluid build-up that is a result of poor drainage, loss of elasticity in your skin and damaged capillaries. Eyeliss directly works to eliminate all of those mentioned symptoms that cause puffy eyes! It works to reduce how much fluid your capillaries absorb, eliminate excess fluids that cause eye puffiness, firm up the skin around your eyes and minimize inflammation. This is a powerful ingredient that is a must-have!

Go Green with Organic and Natural Eye Skin Care Products

In the last few years, the use of natural or organic ingredients has become increasingly popular in many industries. In medicine, organic remedies are fast gaining in popularity. Some are being used as preferred remedies for various illnesses. Organic ingredients are used widely in the field of dermatology to treat various skin conditions. Every year, cosmetic companies introduce dozens of organic products and eye skin care is no exception. Organic ingredients are now being used in more and more eye wrinkle creams designed to minimize or erase eye wrinkles.
Most Common Organic Eye Skin Care Ingredients: Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are the most commonly used organic ingredients. This is due to their wide availability and because they contain vital ingredients that benefit the skin. Some of the most common fruits used in organic skin care products are plum, papaya, apple, pineapple, and mango.
The organic ingredients added to eye skin care products provide different benefits. In order to make the right choice of organic skin care product, you first have to determine how you want your skin to change. Health and beauty manufacturers now include organic ingredients to their skin care products, but these ingredients can also be used right out of your kitchen. Make sure to always use the freshest ingredients you can find.
Other Organic Skin Care Ingredients: Milk, Oatmeal and Wheat Germ
Fruits and vegetables aren’t the only organic items that can be used on the skin. Milk is one of them. Milk appears to be effective in retaining youthful-looking skin, making it a popular ingredient in many eye skin care products.
Oatmeal is another common kitchen staple used in skin care. Milk and honey added to oatmeal in its ground form is an excellent masque for the skin. The benefit is a reduction in the appearance of oiliness as well as a youthful glow.
In a growing number of organic skin care products, wheat germ is often listed as an ingredient. This is one of the finest natural ingredients for moisturizing and exfoliating the skin. Wheat germ contains high levels of vitamin E which is essential in maintaining a healthy condition of the skin as well as the hair.
Natural Skin Care Ingredients For All Skin Types
Other excellent moisturizers and exfoliants are yogurt and sour cream. You can find products containing these ingredients or simply use them in their natural state. For dry skin, try a paste with egg yolk, olive oil and lemon juice. Honey, along with wheat germ, is one of the best ways to get a smooth, healthy complexion.
Some organic substances can be used as toners in skin care, such as lavender water and rose water. Rose water tones the delicate tissue around the eye and using an eye skin care product containing rose water can positively affect any under eye bags. Organic skin care treatments are many times comprised of a combination of two or more different natural ingredients.
Organic skin care regimes are definitely getting to be very popular. Many are switching from conventional (and sometimes synthetic) products to these natural treatments. Without a doubt, natural and organic eye wrinkle creams and other eye skin care products will be more prevalent in the years to come.
Organic Product we love: Juice Beauty Soothing Eye Concentrate
Must-Do Beauty Regimen: Masks!
March 7, 2009 by Beauty Editor
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.
Best Eye Skin Care Products Don’t Include Chemicals
February 22, 2009 by Beauty Editor
Filed under 100% Pure, Eye Skin Care
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!
