That is exactly why I created Art of Skin Care.
Our mission is to provide you with the information you need, whether it’s by easy navigation of our site, helpful articles, professionally staffed live chat or online consultations, that will allow you to purchase the products that will achieve the best results for your skin.
EYE CARE & FINDING YOUR BEST EYE CREAM
Eye care can be tricky! Perhaps you are using your face lotion or you don’t have eye wrinkles yet. It’s easy to think you don’t need an eye cream, but that would be a mistake! Eye cream should be an essential part of everyone’s skincare routine. The thin and delicate skin around the eyes is easily susceptible to damage and require active ingredients explicitly formulated for that fragile area.
The first step is to ask your self whether you want to correct damage or prevent it?
TOP EYE PRODUCTS BY SKIN CONCERN
Whether your eye concern is correcting sun damage, deepening lines, or dark circles, here are the top skincare products for the eyes from lightest in texture to heaviest.
Acne Prone? I have special tips just for you here>>>
UNDER-EYE PUFFINESS & SAGGING
- Masking with the Le Mieux TGF-B Eye Firming Masks provide instant de-puffing and reduction in fine lines. Perfect for daily use or a special photo op.
- Sorella Cucumber Aloe Eye Gel uses aloe vera, cucumber, and hyaluronic acid combined with eyeliss peptide to decrease inflammation and limit puffiness. Haloxyl further reduces dark circles by 19%.
- TIZO Eye Renewal SPF 20 is a multi-tasking eye cream and sunscreen. Utilizing a multi-peptide complex to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a botanical blend along with caffeine to help firm, smooth and de-puff the eye areas, all while protecting from damaging UV rays and pollutants. It also primes the skin beautifully for makeup!
DARK CIRCLES
- Skin Script’s Peptide Eye Serum, boosted with vitamin C and caffeine, stimulates circulation and detoxifies the delicate eye area. Those with eye circles will enjoy layering this under their favorite eye cream for its brightening effect.
- Botnia Eye Cream is another great choice to strengthen the delicate eye area, hydrate and smooth fine lines with a base of hyaluronic acid. Fun Fact! This one can be used as a lightweight face lotion as well.
- Bion Youthful Eyes Peptide Cream contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide -7 to reduce dark circles as well as plant peptides to protect collagen and elastin syntheses. *Best all-around affordable eye care
TIRED EYES
- Lack of sleep can lead to a multitude of issues in the eye area. With the revolutionary new Chronopeptide, Hale & Hush Eye Mousse rejuvenates sleep-deprived lifeless skin. Oxygenating bubbles help to brighten skin tone and provides a tingly sensation on the skin.
- Overwork and too much computer time are best remedied with Rhonda Alison Revitalizer. With acetyl hexapeptide-8, the freezing peptide, and calendula to reduce inflammation and puffiness, I keep this on my desk for those long days.
ADVANCED AGING
- In the morning, try Michele Corley Revitalizing Peptide & Stem Cell Eye Gel, providing you with a powerful boost of peptides that is loved by those with puffiness, dark circles, and crow’s feet. For added benefit, layer with Michele Corley Peptide Rich & Radiant Eye Cream-a multidimensional cream with a powerhouse of peptides that reduces crow’s feet, dark circles, and loss of firmness. *Fun fact! The eye gel can be used on the eyelids all the way to the lash line.
- For an evening regimen, check out NeoGenesis Eye Serum for firming and tightening the delicate skin around the eyes. Especially beneficial if your eyelids are becoming hooded or you struggle with the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. This one is perfect for sensitive skin as well.
- If you’re looking for instant plumping results, reach for HOP+ PLLA H2 Promoter Repair Eye Cream. I particularly love that it satisfies short-term needs with Poly-L-Lactic Acid, but thinks about long-term improvement with various growth factors and excellent botanical extracts.
DROOPY EYE-LIDS
- One of my clients, Sonya, had this to say about NeoGenesis Eye Serum “It not only minimizes the fine lines but also instantly lifts up your eyebrows. If you have hooded eyes, you must try this.” I have to agree. I love everything about the NeoGenesis Eye Serum. It is a fantastic multi-tasker for aging eyes.
SUNKEN UNDER-EYE AREA
- Dr. esthé C-Tox Eye Cream, containing 3% caffeine to decrease under-eye puffiness and darkness, is an ultra-rich eye cream that feels like silky smooth butter at first, then melts right into the skin with no greasy feel. It’s also boosted with gentle retinol for anti-wrinkle benefits and increases collagen production for hollows under the eyes.
SPECIALTY NIGHT PRODUCTS FOR THE EYES
- Using the same eye product for morning and evening is perfectly fine. However, signs of premature aging and sun damage can indicate the need to bump up your game and add a specialty product to your evening routine.
- Eyes need exfoliation too! Treating your eyes to a weekly enzyme treatment with Rhonda Allison Derma Peel will boost cell renewal and enhance the penetration of your eye products.
- Those with little bumps (milia) under the eyes or dark pigment from cellular pigment buildup see excellent results using a moisturizing enzyme eye treatment. Rhonda Allison Moisture Eye-Zyme can be applied in the evening alone or under your regular eye cream.
- One of my favorite evening rituals is to apply Rhonda Allison Moisture Eye-Zyme, wait 5 minutes, and then apply Hale & Hush Brilliant Eye & Lip Serum. Brilliant Eye & Lip is so gentle that I can use it on my four-year-old granddaughter, Elowen, when she gets red, chapped skin under her bottom lip. Her mother loves when I send one home with Elowen because mommy gets to use it too!
