Eye Cream

Kiehl's Line Reducing Eye Brightening Concentrate $41

Eye cream should be introduced into your skin regime in your early 20's.  An eye cream should hydrate, prevent and correct fine lines & wrinkles, correct dark circles.  Dot around your eyes, not too close to eyes and lightly pat in a upward motion. Choose a product that is meant for sensitive skin, as it will be used near your eyes.

Choose a tube or pump, not a jar. A jar risks contamination, whether using clean hands, loses its freshness and active ingredients become exposed to air, jeopardizing the effectiveness of the ingredients. Once the jar is opened, ingredients are exposed to air.  If you decide to purchase a jar, you may transfer the product into a airtight pump or use a toothpick to get product out.

• A gel is perfect for oily, acneic, combination skin and a cream for normal, dry, aging skin. 
• If you have dark circles look for a product with vitamin K, it strengthens capillary walls and helps diminish the appearance of abnormal capillaries. Antioxidants are beneficial to prevent aging and UV damage by fighting free radical activity. 
• Free radicals form from environmental pollution, smoking, UV damage and poor diet. This activity creates signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity and collagen. Common antioxidants include vitamin c, green tea, copper, vitamin e, vitamin a, alpha lipoic acid, coQ-10. Don't forget to wear SPF 30 everyday.

Review: Weleda Pomegranate Firming Facial Care

I have been meaning to try Weleda products for a while and finally had the opportunity recently.  Weleda truly regenerates your skin.  I tested the products over a 3 week trial and after each application, my skin looked instantly brighter and healthier.  My skin stayed moist and supple, not heavy and oily  and my firm skin felt very smooth. and soft.  I enjoyed each and every product from the Pomegranate line and continue to use Weleda products.  Woman see wrinkle reduction of 29%, experienced a 23% increase in cell renewal and enjoyed a lasting moisture increase of 39%, while using this line.  I am really enjoying natural skin care!

I love this day cream!  It smells amazing, brightens my skin and actually makes it look healthier.  When my skin is dehydrated from acne treatments I apply Cetaphil moisturizer and layer on this cream.  The firming cream is light on skin, comes in a tube and is a creamy.  My skin is already quite firm, but this cream makes it even tighter.

A great cream for nourishing and keeping skin hydrated while you sleep.  I literally wake up with glowing skin.  All the products make my skin incredibly smooth and soft.  A great addition to your skin regime.

Pomegranate Firming Eye Cream ($33, 1 oz.) – "A luxurious, fragrance-free cream that boasts skin softening, nurturing and smoothing properties. Protects and firms the delicate eye area from damaging environmental elements, and contains ruscus root extract for anti-inflammatory action."-Weleda
My first eye cream and I love it!  It does not sting or burn.  This non sticky cream hydrates the delicate under eye area very well.  Great for tightening, moisturizing, smoothing and puffy eyes.  

Overall, I love all the products.  The products are well made, results oriented and they deliver on their claims.  I would recommend this line to anyone wanting to undo free radical damage from sun exposure, aging skin, prevent fine lines, tighten skin or pomegranate fans!  I'm in love with Weleda products!  Weleda products are available at CVS and Weleda.com
