Anti Eye Wrinkle

Do you love Olay eye creams as much as I do? If so, click here for a coupon for $10 off your next purchase of any two Olay Professional Pro-X products. Simply fill out the brief questionnaire.

The Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex is truly a great product. I’ve tried it myself and my eye wrinkles looked visibly reduced after only a couple weeks. I’ve also heard great things about the new Olay ProX Intensive Wrinkle Protocol, which includes Age Repair Lotion with spf 30, Wrinkle Smoothing Cream and Deep Wrinkle Treatment. In fact, Olay claims that this protocol is “as effective as the leading prescription brand regimen at reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.” Have you tried any Olay Professional ProX products?

According to the National Institute of Health, 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders. If you’re one of these people, a new mom or just a busy person in general, you know what it’s like to lose sleep. It’s not always a pretty picture in the morning - accentuated eye wrinkles, red, puffy eyes, dark circles and a dull, lifeless complexion. So, if you truly can’t get the recommended 8 hours of sleep, how can you alleviate these symptoms of sleeplessness? Fake it!

Allure Magazine and The Today Show shared the following tips to faking a good nights sleep:

- When you wake up, do 10 or more jumping jacks to get your body moving. This also helps to move the fluid that has retained around your eyes during the night causing puffy eyes and under eye bags.

- Take a cold shower or place your face in a bowl of ice cold water. It will help stimulate the body and wake you up.  Also, try using peppermint body wash.  (I don’t know about you, but the idea of taking a cold shower would keep me in bed all day. Talk about unpleasant!  If you’re like me and this tip is just too horrific to endure in the morning, take a shower that is at least a few degrees cooler than your normal shower.)

- Use an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells and brighten your complexion. (With regular use, this also helps reduce the appearance of eye wrinkles.)

- Apply a moisturizer that has little bit of self tanner in it, such as Olay Touch of Sun.

From personal experience, this Olay moisturizer is awesome. Not only does it have moisturizing vitamin E and protecting spf 15, but it really does give just a “touch” of a tan look that can be built up over multiple uses. On a side note, I also highly recommend Olay eye wrinkle products. I especially like the Olay ProX Anti Aging Starter Protocol, which contains Age Repair Lotion SPF 30, Eye Restoration Complex and Wrinkle Smoothing Cream.

Check back next week for more tips on faking a good nights sleep, including how to dramatically reduce eye puffiness and use makeup to make eyes look more awake.  Until then, sweet dreams!

It’s getting to be that time of year again - vacation time!  If you’re headed to the beach, you probably don’t want to stick out by being the palest person there.  Rather than your pasty skin announcing that it’s your first day of vacation, you can look like you’ve been at the beach for weeks already.

No, I’m not talking about tanning beds.  Tanning is actually the leading cause of premature wrinkles.  Avoid the eye wrinkles and sun damage by applying sunless self tanner instead.  There are many different effective brands of self tanner for your body that you can buy at local drugstores.  My favorite is Neutrogena.  However, you shouldn’t use the same self tanner on your face as you do on the rest of your body.  Self tanners for the body are not formulated for use on the face and can clog pores.  Instead, get a self tanner that is specifically for the face.

The best self tanner for face that I’ve found is called Fake Bake Anti-Aging Facial Self Tanner.  In addition to being lightweight and streak-free, it contains powerful eye wrinkle fighters such as moisturizing tocopherol (vitamin E) and Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide), which is also found in highly effective anti aging and eye wrinkle creams such as StriVectin and Olay eye products.

To apply the face tanner, first wash your face thoroughly and use an exfoliating scrub to remove any dead skin.  Once your face is dry, squeeze about a quarter size of the self tanner into your hands.  Starting at your cheekbones, thoroughly rub the self tanner all over your face.  It’s important to get a thin layer of self tanner evenly distributed all over your face.  To create an authentic sun-kissed look, you can apply a thin second layer to just your cheekbones and top of your nose, where the sun hits your face the most.  Next, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.  Pay particular attention to scrubbing your knuckles and between your fingers, where the self tanner tends to collect.

Once the self tanner is dry, apply your eye wrinkle cream and sunscreen with spf 15 or higher.  You’re on your way to being a bronzed - and wrinkle-free - beach beauty!

A dermatologist was featured on my local news this morning talking about affordable anti aging skin care, and one of the product lines she recommended was Oil of Olay Regenerist.  This line contains cleansers, day and night moisturizers, anti eye wrinkle cream, exfoliating scrubs, microdermabrasion kits and more, all with the purpose of reducing wrinkles and making the skin appear younger.  I’ve tried a few of the products in the Regenerist line, so I thought I’d share my results with you.

The Oil of Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment contains an amino-peptide complex to regenerate skin cells and promises the look of a mini-lift in the morning.  I found that this night cream is better suited for someone with normal or combination skin, because I have very dry skin and it did not provide the level of moisture I need at night.

I also used the Regenerist Touch of Sun moisturizer during the day and was very pleased with my results.  What I like best about it is that it contains UVA/UVB sunscreen (spf 15) and sunless tanner, so I can have a natural-looking sun-kissed glow without the skin damage and eye wrinkles that come with excessive sun exposure.  Regenerist Touch of Sun could have provided more moisture, but its lightweight, non-greasy formula worked great under makeup.

My favorite product from this line is the Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum.  This Olay eye wrinkle cream contains antioxidants vitamin E and green tea, which reduce eye puffiness and inflammation and fight the free radicals that cause eye wrinkles, as well as the amino-peptides that are unique to the Regenerist product line.  Dab a little around the eyes in the morning and evening after washing your face, and you should see visible firming and lifting in the eye area.

Certain Oil of Olay Regenerist products may be better suited for different skin types; but overall, I believe that the Regenerist line is effective and affordable, and I recommend trying the Regenerist eye wrinkle cream for younger-looking eyes.
