the under eye miracle product!

Products on the market are so advanced now a days that most skin issues can be greatly minimized with over-the-counter serums, creams and treatments. One such skin issue that typically plagues people at one time or another is dark under-eye circles. While heredity and lack of sleep are usually to blame for dark circles, there are many outstanding products that can help minimize and mask them, leaving you with bright eyes – the perfect compliment to a gorgeous face!

My top two favorite products for reducing the appearance of dark circles are Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s Lift and Lighten Eye Cream and Eminence’s Wild Plum Eye Cream.

Why?

- Lift and Lighten Eye Cream – utilizes light diffusers to minimize eye discoloration and is packed full of Vitamins A, C, E and Peptides, as well as licorice extract which is a skin lightening agent. This product works best when applied after your moisturizer. However, I love to use it throughout the day under my eyes if they need a quick ‘wake-me-up’

- Wild Plum Eye Cream – this is a great anti-wrinkle, nourishing under-eye treatment, but the Vitamin K and eyebright ingredients help to reduce dark circles, heal broken capillaries and act as an anti-inflammatory. Like all Eminence products, it’s organic AND it smells delicious!

Looking for a quick brightening lift for your eyes? Try one of these products, they are dark-circle miracle workers!

Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum

For those of you who use serums, you already know that they are magical little concoctions created to treat all of your nagging skin concerns. But for those of you who don’t, let me shed some light!

What is a serum? A serum is basically a concentrated concoction of ingredients aimed to treat a specific skin concern. The concentrated ingredients are formulated in order to penetrate the skin with more potency and treat the specific concern at a deeper level. For example, Vitamin C, in its most potent form, typically comes as a serum. Based on what results you desire, there are hundreds (more like thousands) of serums on the market aimed to treat a variety of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dullness, redness, etc.

Why should you use serums? Serums will deliver better results when combined with your typical skincare routine because the highly-concentrated concoction is formulated to target a specific concern (i.e. fine lines) and deliver quicker results. While products like everyday moisturizers may contain some of a serum’s ingredients, they are not formulated in as high of a concentration.

If you’re looking to find a product that will treat one or two of your specific skin issues, look to a  serum. Your moisturizers are great for overall treatment and protection, however serums are better ‘equipped’ to tackle the specific issue head-on!

Do you have some specific concerns? Here’s some serums we recommend:

Skin Concern: fine lines and wrinkles

Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle – an amazing patent-pending peptide blend that is highly concentrated as a wrinkle-fighting solution with the highest degree of effective ingredients found in clinical studies.

Skin Concern: skin protection and repair

Facelogic Vitamin C Defense Serum – boosts the skin’s collagen and elastin production, repairs premature aging caused by environmental damage and brightens skin tone while minimizing areas of discoloration.

Skin Concern: hyperpigmentation

Eminence Organic Stone Crop – utilizes the natural concentrated stone crop juice and bearberry extract to lighten and minimize discoloration.

Skin Concern: redness

MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross Redness Soothing Serum – contains multiple ingredients to control redness due to inflammation, rosacea and flushing.

If you’re ready to take your skincare routine to the next level, or just looking to treat a specific skin issue that has been bugging you, get started with a serum that treats your concern. The concentration of ingredients from the serum is sure to minimize your concern, if not alleviate it completely (depending on the severity, of course)!
