Help For Tired Eyes

By the time you look up and notice you NEED to use eye cream, *gasp* it’s sometimes too late. Eye cream is one of those proactive beauty products that most women feel, “Oh, that’s not for me..not yet. ” Well, trust me when I say — eye cream is indeed for you. And it is for you NOW.

Eye cream helps to hydrate, lift, firm and address the appearance of dark circles. And once you reach a certain age or stage of life, you’re going to also need some  ‘secret weapon” beauty products to help when there’s not enough eye cream in the world to cover up the fact that you haven’t slept since 2013 (this year is significant for me because it’s the year Phoebe was born…so I am an authority!)

Read on as I explain…..

RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream

I’m always on the fast track when it comes to addressing a skincare concern. So if fine lines or tiny little wrinkles are making their presence known, I reach for retinol. And no one, at the drugstore level, does over the counter retinol better than ROC. Skip the trip to the derm and start here. The super effective, easy to tolerate formula usually delivers wrinkle softening results within 6 weeks.  

Skinfix  Calm and Rejuvenate  Eye Cream

98% natural, this rich textured eye cream has a long list of no’s — no silicones, no synthetic fragrance, no gluten, no dairy, no parabens, no phthalates. It’s formulated with natural botanical oils for hydration, Peptides, algae, and alfalfa seed  extracts to relieve puffiness, Colloidal oatmeal to calm, and green tea to reduce inflammation.

By Terry Stylo Expert Concealer  

Take cover with  By Terry Stylo Expert Concealer. The creamy textured dark spot eraser glides onto the under eye area without tugging or pulling the delicate skin around your eyes. Nor does it get creasy after a few hours of wear. I love the chic clickable wand for an easy, mess-free  application. By Terry Stylo Expert Concealer is available in an impressive range of shades to match all complexions. Seriously, all.

Becca  Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer

If your under eye baggage is next level (I’ve been there, too!), add a corrector to your repertoire.  Becca  Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer does what it says and acts as an eye awakening pre-concealer base that  diminishes the presence of dark circles and diffuses the appearance of puffiness and tiny lines. A little dab will do ya…just a few light-handed pats under your concealer and hello, bright eyes!

ELF Correct & Set Under Eye Powder

Not only does this finely milled setting powder help to keep your concealer in place, it also  adds a little color correcting benefit. The light-as-air formula is enriched with Vitamins C & E, so it also feels incredibly nourishing as soon as it touches your skin. I don’t know how e.l.f delivers all of these benefits for $4.00, but here we are.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks

Late nights and early mornings are no match for these gold foil eye masks. They brighten, hydrate, de-puff and restore the look of well-rested eyes. I keep mine stashed in the fridge for an extra dose of ‘ahhhh’. You can use these daily or for weekly Self-Care Sundays. For an added touch of self-care, I like to use the gold eye masks with Angelia Caglia Rosebud Eye Treatment Set. Using light pressure, in outward strokes under the eyes, the rose quartz   stones help to stimulate blood flow, relax tension and brighten the skin.
