IF I CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE PRODUCT, WHAT SHOULD IT BE?

I hear  you ! None of us want to forsake our skincare regime even  if we are “squeezed” for cash these days. Decide how much money you have in your budget for skincare and spend it on a GREAT eye cream. The eyes are the first to show the signs of aging and a good eye cream is a must.

Your local CVS or drugstore will  have lots of good choices for cleansers  at responsible prices. Look at the ingredient labels and you can find one almost identical to your more expensive cleanser. There are also good choices for moisturizers both with and without susncreens. Acne care products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are abundant and relatively inexpensive.

For a good eye cream look at Olay Definity Highly Defined Anti-Aging Illuminating Eye Treatment. I actually use this one myself as I love that it has a very light texture so I don’t  wake up with puffy eyes . Also helps with dark circles.

I BOUGHT A LANCOME EYE CREAM FOR MY WRINKLES BUT I DONT SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO USE IT TO KNOW IF IT WORKS?

Everyone is different . How deep are your wrinkles? How much do you laugh ……….a lot I hope !  There are so many eye creams on the market as the eyes are the first place to show signs of aging. If your eyes are very puffy, creased and deeply wrinkled, you cannot expect any eye cream to work wonders. For maximum results look for an eye cream that contains hexapeptide that works to help minimize muscle contractions around the eyes so that your eye cream has a chance to work. Combine this with a light weight cream for around the eyes. Avoid heavy eye creams that trap water and cause more puffiness. You should see some kind of results in 2 -4 weeks of continuous use. Lancome makes good products, but I cant be sure the eye cream you bought is the right one for your concerns and issues.

IS THERE A WAY TO ELIMINATE THE BAGGY SKIN AROUND THE EYES WITHOUT SURGERY?

In a word, NO. Excess skin of the upper or lower eyelids has to be removed to be eliminated. A browlift may also be recommended to lift the eyebrows, if you are a candidate for it. Your eyelid skin may not be the problem, it may be the brow skin or both. You should have a consultation with a plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or ophthalmic plastic surgeon to find out.

Suggestion: Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller was designed to eliminate under eye puffiness and dark circles.
