What Are You Afraid Of?

Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity. If you get a wrinkle, I don't feel that's indicative of your losing ground. That's ridiculous. But I do support Botox. If people want that, do it.

Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Antiwrinkle Eye Cream $42 - Sephora

The damage is done! You've tanned your life away and now, although you may not see much of it on the surface, your're left with massive sun damage. Now with the help of your favorite skin care brand, there is no need to hide behind your big David Yurman aviator shades any longer!

 

The Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Antiwrinkle Eye Cream uses a powerful combination of the following ingredients: Quercetin and Oak extracts help to improve skin cell function, Baobab Pulp helps to keep the lift alive , Yeast works to keep the circulation hot and heavy - reducing dark circles below the eye - and sugar-derived Betaine and Rhodiola Rosea extracts fight those puffy sleeping bags that can arrive under the eye area.

 

You only have a few more weeks where it's acceptable to where your shades inside and out! Perhaps it's time to look for a year-round solution?

 

Another reason to love - this anti-aging eye saver is all natural, paraben, sulfate and phalate free! I've been eating a ton of Lucky Charms lately - I think that's enough chemicals for me!

Must Try, Beauty Buy, You Decide

By TheGlamtastic · January 25, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
La Mer The Eye Concentrate $165 - Bergdorf Goodman
Korres Evening Primrose Eye Cream $34 - Ulta
Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Instant De-Puff Eye Gel $19 - Victoria's Secret
Must-Try:
A tad tired? Whether it's the constant partying or extended office hours, exhaustion can wear a girl down, especially underneath her eyes! On the days when more than five hours of sleep is a luxury I just can't afford, I need an instant fix to save my eyes from embarrassment.
Patricia Wexler, M.D.'s Instant De-Puff Eye Gel is a super soothing gel that cools the eye area upon contact. This beauty steal incorporates a skin tightening yeast complex to help deflate visible bags and wrinkles, as it firms the orbital area. I can't say I noticed a difference in fine lines, but this rejuvenating eye treatment made my skin feel calm, cool and collected, especially the eyes.

Beauty Buy:
Dare to go natural? When you're in need of an affordable, eco-friendly eye saving treatment, reach for Korres Evening Primrose Eye Cream. This rich and relaxing firming cream helps to fight back against environmental damage and stress while you snooze.

The triple action cream works to reduce fine lines, dark circles and shield skin from future sun damage with SPF. The formula? A velvety linolenic acid and an essential fatty acid, that provides a surge of hydration to the orbital area. Simultaneously Vitamin K and Ruscus extracts help to increase blood flow to the eye area and zinc oxide works to protect and prevent against future damage.

With no harmful chemicals, mineral oils, alcohol, synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phalates or outrageous price tag, I'm in love!

You Decide:
There has been some criticism of La Mer in the news lately, however after working in skin care for more years than I'd like to admit, I have to say that the true test of a product isn't the binders filled with clinicals or the published articles singing the praises of a new beauty breakthrough. It's the real life results.

La Mer The Eye Concentrate may cost as much as dinner at Union Square Cafe,  but the results are undeniable. This concentrated, ultra-luxe eye treatment provides a surge of hydration to the orbital area. It is said to reduce dark circles, fine lines, puffiness and encourage the look and feel of healthy skin. So what if I have to eat canned tuna for two weeks to afford it? Love, love, love!

Do you think it's a beauty hoax or a miracle skin saver?

Win the Battle Against Your First Wrinkle: Clarins Multi-Active Day Wrinkle Correction Cream

By TheGlamtastic · September 9, 2009 · 1 Comment ·
Clarins Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream 1.7 oz. $54 - Saks Fifth Avenue
Today is the day I fight back againt my very first wrinkle! This is war and I'm armed with some of the best beauty tips in the biz to keep my skin healthy and wrinkle-free. 

Skin Care Tip #1: Always use a white wash cloth when cleansing your face so that you can see that all of the makeup, dirt, oil & residue from your day has been removed.

After a serous cleansing, go for an active moisturizer that nourishes while working to shield your skin from the elements (a.k.a. environmental pollutants, free radicals, sun damage...the list goes on).

Skin Care Tip #2: Scoop a small amount of product and warm it in the hands, before applying it to the skin. 

Skin Care Tip #3: Never pull or tug at the skin when applying product. Gently cup the hands and lightly press them against the skin. 

This Fall, defend your skin against the first signs of wrinkles, crow's feet, marionettes lines, you know what I'm talking about...

Arm your skin with Clarins Multi-Active Day. This luxuriously rich cream helps to keep skin tight and toned with the power of Ambiaty, a healing plant from Madagascar which works to reduce the appearance of early wrinkles, Hesperidin (extracted from the orange peel) that works to protect the skin from free radical damage. Light-reflecting pigments keep skin looking young, refreshed and radiant! This day cream melts into the skin and leaves the surface layer smooth and hydrated. Love that!

You only need about a dime size amount of product to hydrate the entire face. I have a feeling just one bottle could last me quite a while...

What's your go-to daytime moisturizer?

* Please note: All skin care tips included in this post came from Clarins skin care experts, dispensed at a recent Clarins education session.
