As we age the skin around the eyes begins to lose elasticity and breaks down. Air pollution, sleep deprivation and poor nutrition are all additional factors that contribute to changes in the eye area. As a result of these intrinsic and extrinsic factors wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles begin appearing the area surrounding the eyes. If you are interested in improving the skin around your eyes, and want to counteract the signs of aging, read our insights below on how to have eyes that are more glowing and radiant.

Do I really need an eye cream?

The YELLE beauty team of experts says YES to eye cream. Moisturizers are not anti-aging treatments and some anti-aging treatments are not suitable to for the area surrounding the eye. If you are interested in improving the appearance of your eyes you need to use a product specifically formulated for the area. While some experts weigh in differently on the matter we know for a fact the area surrounding the eyes is more prone to the visible signs of aging. Targeting this area we believe with specialized preventative care is vital to enhancing the radiance of an individual’s eyes.

Use an eye cream with ingredients that work

To repair the area surrounding the eye it is important to use an eye cream with ingredients that work. Collagen stimulating ingredients, peptides, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and even retinol are all ingredients that stimulate the area surrounding the eye area and promote change. Our ADREAM Brightening Eye Cream utilizes high strength and highly effective peptides that attack fine lines and wrinkles, promotes collagen synthesis, and brighten the eye area.

Beyond Eye Creams

Blepharoplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons to correct imperfections around the eyes. The procedure involves removing excess skin, muscle and fat and is usually performed as an in and out procedure though patients typically miss up to five days from work. Restylane and Juviderm cosmetic fillers can also be used to treat under eye bags and camouflage darkness to reduce the appearance of mild puffiness. A good quality eye cream is usually recommended afterwards to encourage healing.

Try Microcurrent

Microcurrent stimulates muscles and sends gentle waves through the skin to tone and lift the areas where it is applied. Many handheld microcurrent devices for at home use are on the market today and allow individuals to experience advanced result. Most at home treatments last for 3-5 minutes are virtually pain free and enhance the benefits of using a good eye cream.

When it comes to addressing the eye area prevention is everything. Gently apply our ADREAM eye cream with your ring finger and use daily for best results.

The most important step in your skincare routine is cleansing. Proper cleansing gently lifts oil and debris from the skins surface and removes impurities. Skin that has been cleansed properly allows for the subsequent products in your skincare routine to penetrate deeper. The result is healthier more radiant skin. If you are wondering if there is a proper way to cleanse your face there is. It begins with our gentle Awakening Milk and Honey Cleanser and following these five tips for perfectly cleansed skin.

Before Getting Started

Before you even begin your cleansing routine remember to refresh your hands by washing and removing any residue from them that could irritate your delicate facial skin. It’s easy to jump right into your skincare routine without recalling the household or personal tasks you engaged in directly beforehand. Routine household chores such as washing the dishes or disinfecting a table or countertop can result in unintentionally allowing irritants to mix in with your other facial products and disrupt your skin. Be sure start your skincare routine by washing your hands with a gentle non-abrasive hand soap.

Use Gentle Wash Cloths or Facial Rounds 

Exfoliating, rotating cleansing devices have become very popular in recent years. These types of devices should not be used every day. If used to often they over exfoliate the skin, strip it of good oil and do more harm than good during the cleansing process. Disposable cotton rounds and organic muslin facial
cloths are wonderful options for cleansing the skin. Remember if you use a reusable facial cloth to allow it to dry completely in between usage and use a different cloth for your face and body.

Be Gentle

Use gentle, delicate, circular motions on your skin to remove make-up and to dissolve excess surface debris. Scrubbing too hard even with your bare hands can irritate and cause discomfort to the skin. Gently work your cleanser into your skin, if you feel like your skin needs a deeper cleanse allow your cleanser to rest on the skin for 2-3 minutes and then use moderate circular motions to lift heavy makeup
from the skins surface.

Impeccable Skin

Want to maintain your flawless glow? Remember these tips during the cleansing process: Use warm water and wash your face until all visible makeup and surface oil and other unwanted debris is removed. Remember to pay special attention to your hairline where excess oil from products can build up and cause breakout and remember to cleanse your neck, décolleté and ears.

Pat Do Not Rub

After cleansing your skin allow it to air dry or use disposable cotton square to gently dry the skin. Pat or gently sweep the cloth across the face to remove excess water. Your skin is now ready for the next steps in your skin care routine.
