Eye Creams

[Armyqt]

latley I've been noticing some fine lines around my eyes. this is really starting to bother me. What is everyone here using as a daily eye defense against wrinkles?

Also, how do you minimize/get rid of laugh lines? I'm trying to get on top of this stuff before it starts to be really noticeable.

Hey ArmyQt glad to see you back in full effect. Anywhoo are you still using the glycolic acid? If so that will eventually (slowly) take away your lines-since it speeds up the sloughing. You should wear a 30 sun block when you use glycolic and that will minimize the wrinkles and keep the new skin younger looking. I also use a moisturizer Rose Mosquetta( I think it is called this) by Aubrey Organics (Wholefoods). I think the sunscreen and glycolic will work better but that will give you more moisture and it is organic too!
See ya lady!

Thanks NayNay. Yes I'm still using the Glytone. I really like this stuff. It works great on my skin. Can't wait to get to the next level. Then I can get some heavy duty exfoliation. Right now I'm really contemplating getting a home facial peel. Doing some research on that to decide which one will give me the best results. Hopefully, this will help with the laugh lines. I found an eye gel on sophia online that I'm thinking about purchasing. Supposedly Halle Berry uses it. Could just be advertising though. Ya know how that goes. Thanks again.

IF you are interested in mail order there is a woman that makes a fabulous eye cream. It is what I use. It isn't pricey either. Her name is Denise and you can email her at dreamproducts@yahoo.com She will then email you an order form and you can mail order it. The cream is great has great ingredients like borage oil etc. and has a nice consistency.

I use Mario Badescu Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream. It has really smoothed the eye area. The description on the jar reads:

'This lightweight Alpha hydroxy-rich cream soften and smooth fine lines and crow's feet around the eyes. High in Vitamin C to improve clarity and moisture retention yet low in oil so makeup doesn't smudge.'

I'm currently using Dr. Hauschka Eye Contour Day Cream (http://www.saffronrouge.com/s.nl/sc.26/category.946/it.A/id.761/.f)
Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil, Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Oil, Beeswax (Cera flava), Carrot (Daucus carota) Extract, Anthyllis vulneraria Extract, Rice (Oryza sativa) Germ Oil, Calendula officinalis Extract, Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Butter, Hypericum perforatum Extract, Silk (Serica) Powder, Jojoba (Buxus chinensis) Oil, Neem (Melia azadirachta) Leaf Extract, Fragrance (essential oil), Glycerin
It's quite heavy so i apply it only at night. I also want to try Rosehip Oil under my eyes when this jar runs out.

I know this may sound extreme but to get rid of lines under the eye I get Botox injections. The lines disappear for about 2 months. If you take this route, make sure the Dr. has lots of experience injecting under the eye or your eyes will droop. My dermatologist told me to pat Aquaphor on top of whatever eye cream I use to seal in the moisture. It works!

Laugh lines? Try a dermal filler--either Restylane or Juvederm. The laugh lines will disappear for 6-9 months.
