Garnier Eye Protection is the Latest Skin Care Buzz

I recently read in Real Simple Magazine an ad for a new Garnier eye cream called Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage Daily Eye Cream with SPF 15. I was surprised to see on the review “the first eye product recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation!”  There was a disclaimer stating that it’s the first eye product that is sold in food, drug and mass merchandise retailers to be recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, but I have to say, it’s still pretty extraordinary.

I’m always surprised at how many eye wrinkle creams do not contain an SPF.  Sun damage is the leading cause of premature eye wrinkles.  Since the eye area is the thinnest area on the face and often the first to show signs of aging, it’s a great idea to wear sunscreen around your eyes to keep the eye wrinkles away and to prevent them.  This Garnier eye cream contains lycopene and sunscreen to protect against sun damage that leads to wrinkles, magnesium to hydrate the skin, and powerful antioxidant vitamin C to stimulate skin cell regeneration and collagen production. 

For the best all-over sun protection, I recommend using this Garnier eye cream with
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Lotion SPF 15
.  With many of the same ingredients as the Garnier eye cream, this facial lotion is a great addition to your anti aging collection.  Apply Garnier eye cream first, and then follow with this moisturizing lotion during the day to protect your entire face from sun damage which is the number 1 cause of eye wrinkles.

I think this Garnier eye cream and facial lotion are beneficial for young skin too, like people in their late 20s and 30s.  The creams are lightweight, and they don’t contain some of the power eye cream ingredients that I think are necessary for more mature skin, such as retinols.  For young skin, it’s more important to hydrate and protect to lesson the likelihood of future damage, rather than using heavy creams designed to reduce eye wrinkles on mature or aging skin.
