Eye creams

Skin around the eyes become fragile as we age. Dark circles and puffy eyes begin to show and a little dab of concealer will oftentimes do the trick. Sagging and fine lines however, are best remedied with an eye cream that you can use night or day.Eye creams that aim to give you an eye lift and target puffiness will include actives like: caffeine, retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), copper peptides, and vitamin C to tighten skin and stimulate collagen growth. “All around” night creams in the anti aging category have active ingredients that target all problems.

To use, after cleansing and toning, dab the cream delicately on the upper and lower eye area. To ensure that all the product is absorbed, start out with a thin sliver and blend until no striping occurs, especially in the eyelid creases. For evenings, eye creams are best followed with serum and night cream; for day, follow up with a tinted moisturizer with SPF, or use it together with a non-Retinol serum as a makeup base.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrate does its work as you sleep at night. The non-acnegenic formula, applied after cleansing and toning and before moisturizer, removes damage from the day’s skin stress. A follow-up application in the morning sets you up with a strong dose of protection against environmental damage and free radicals, which, as studies have shown, cause 80% of premature skin aging; while providing a steady flow hydration to the skin via its infusion of hyaluronic acid.
