Yeah, my mom has some cream , its some anti wrinkle cream and i was just wondering can that remove the underline under the eye?
ive heard that Vitamen E works!
and also on zits..
If yes, any recommendations for an anti-aging eye cream especially?
Let me start with the three top reasons for aging:
1) SUN
2) Dehydration to the skin
3) Free Radicals
The number one way to prevent aging is by wearing SUNSCREEN!! So if you're not using it yet, that's the first thing you should do. And if the actual sunscreen is what is preventing you from wearing it, there are sunscreen "powders" you can use. Peter Thomas Roth has an amazing one.
Okay, so it's never to early to start using anti-aging stuff for you face. It's actually recommended to start using it in your early twenties. It will depend on how much you're in the sun or smoke, ect. though. A great early anti-aging is Vitamin C, you can find it in the form of lotions, facewashes, and most effectively, in serums. Besides helping to reduce already damaged skin from the sun, smoke, stress, it will help to prevent furthur/future damange. I'm a big believer and user in Vitamin C and besides the benefits, you're skin will also look and feel more healthier.
If you want to actually use an actual anti-aging product, go right ahead, there are so many to choose from. If you want to find the better quality ones, I would choose a pricier one, since they have the most acutally proven benefits. That goes the same with eye creams. And usually when shopping for one, they come in two forms: lotions or gels. If you are more on the dry skin side, I would recommend wearing a lotion one, and also lotions are better for using at night. On the other hand, gels are great to wear under makeup because the makeup wont slide off with a gel. And try to look for one with anti-oxidants, they will help with the damage from free radicals.
So all in all, after my drawn out babble, yes, I would recommend to start using one now. And remember to dab, dab, dab whatever you choose to purchase under you eyes, because tugging and such will only increase the damage to your most delicate area of skin you have.
Hope this helped! And you can find many great products at Ulta, Sephora and department stores. Good luck in finding the perfect anti-aging product!
I use Estee Lauder products. Im loving them but i want more opinions so i know that im getting the best. This is important to me. Im 30 years old and i think its a good time (if not sooner then i have) to be using an effective anti aging line.
Estee Lauder is good. If you like it then there's no reason to change. However, anti-aging is a multi-faceted thing. It starts with good health by not smoking, very little alcohol if any, exercise, eating good food, etc. I have found that if you abuse your body within, that no anti aging formula is going to make up for it on the outside.
So, with that said, fighting free-radical damage in the skin with Vitamins A,E, and C are good starters. Vitamin A in the form of Retinoic Acid, Vitamin C serums, and creams laced with Vitamin E have confirmed that they do help slow down the aging of the skin.
If you are using any high end skin product with vitamins in it, good moisture binding ingredients, and are doing routine exfoliating, you should be getting more than adequate pampering for your skin.
You’ve heard of the statistics. Most people encounter major health issues once they’ve passed the age of 40 or 50. As the years progress, you’ll see that even the younger generation suffer from a few problems themselves because of unhealthy diet and lifestyle choices. In fact, people believe that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death. That, however, does not mean that you’re destined to become a victim. As early as now, you can already do something about it. Your cardiovascular system supplies food and oxygen to every part of your body. Keeping it healthy is the key to living a long and energetic life. And the secret to getting there is exercise. Being sedentary is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease. It is tantamount to smoking and problems with high cholesterol levels.
Vigorous exercise cuts your risk of suffering a heart attack. And that’s not where the story ends. Besides preventing heart attack and stroke, exercise also helps prevent many other illnesses such as diabetes, some cancers, and even mental decline. By breaking sweat on a regular basis, you can help override the code to aging and sail against the tide. If you start right this very moment, you can literally be younger the next year. Centuries back, the human body and the complex systems that regulate it followed a different set of rules. Hunger was commonplace back then and strength was the most essential element to survival. Nature’s rules were not written for today’s era of fast food and sedentary lifestyle. People nowadays spend long hours in the office. During weekends, they just stayed glued to the television. The chemistry that helped your survival has a different impact in the couch-potato world. It programs you for slow and relentless decay.
Luckily, your body has the ability to renew itself. You just have to know when to turn on your internal switch. This is also how exercise dramatically reduces your risk of a heart attack. Your heart basically stays healthy despite the sinful lifestyle you lead. Ironically, heart attacks have almost nothing to do with your heart. In fact, most of it is all about your circulation. If you are lazy and are constantly binging on foods saturated in fat, you build up deposits in the walls of your arteries called plaques. This plaque accumulates over decades like gunk inside an old pipe until it decides to rupture one day.
Every time you work out and sweat your stress muscles, draining them of energy stores, you actually injure them a bit. It is luckily not enough to do long-term damage, but enough to stimulate repair and growth, and to make muscles just a bit stronger. Beyond diet, exercise helps heal those battered and wounded blood vessels. It appears to change the biology from inflammation to repair of muscle tissue. The more you get into shape, the more you cut mortality. When you get into a daily regimen, you can turn your life around and improve the quality of your health. You’ll feel younger and be more vital that you ever thought possible. This may be the best thing you can ever do for yourself.
The dark circles under your eyes are a dead giveaway of age. In fact some cases, it even makes you look older. When people say that the eyes are the window to a person’s soul, they weren’t kidding. If you have this certain sparkle in them, people immediately assume that you are younger than you actually are. Or, you could run into someone who hasn’t seen you in quite a while and they tell you that you look tired when you really aren’t. It’s because it’s a different story with your eyes. Treatments and makeup tricks can brighten and wake them up. You just have to know the tricks.
To camouflage those dark circles, pick a creamy concealer because they have a stronger hold than liquids. Plus, they won’t creep and accumulate in the fine lines on the side of your eyelids. You should get one in a shade lighter than your skin tone to counterbalance the darkness. All you need to do is dab on eye cream and let it soak for a minute. Then apply foundation including the area under your eyes. This move helps erase some of the darkness and gets you to save on concealer. Use a brush if you can because this gives a more expert-looking coverage. Paint the cover-up from the inner point of the eye to the midpoint beneath the eyeball, then feather it out, blending away any obvious signs of demarcation lines.
When blood vessels show through the skin, they can give the eye area a bluish cast. And since skin becomes more translucent with age, these blood vessels will definitely appear to be more prominent. Daily use of basic eye cream will temporarily plump skin so blood vessels are less visible. Eye creams make better choices than regular face creams because they tend to have a higher concentration of emollients for plumping and for thickening skin texture. This means that they adhere more to the ever-mobile eye area.
For those who have puffy eyes, some of it may be genetic. If this is so, no eye cream will erase it or reduce it. But if your bags come and go, this means that it all depends on your activity. Fluid retention is most likely the cause. You may have had too many salty meals and alcohol in your system. Since lid skin is thinner than anywhere else on your face, you’ll notice the swelling more. Thanks to the pull of gravity, morning puffiness is gone within a few hours. To speed things up, try placing a chilled eye compress, cold water-soaked tea bags, or cucumber slices over your lids for five minutes at least. Cold constricts blood vessels which in turn reduces swelling. The caffeine found in eye creams has tightening abilities as well. Gently press the bones around your eyes as you apply it. The pressure helps stimulate circulation and drain excess fluids.
A good makeup does wonders to your skin. All you need to do is find the right brand. When applied daily, you’ll notice that anti-aging techniques don’t always involve a scalpel and a surgeon.
It’s the sign of the dynamic technology: youthful skin is now within your reach. After all, healthy skin is youthful skin. But for the modern woman, a healthy lifestyle and good skin care regimen are no longer enough. Today, more and more women are heading to aesthetic centres and dermatology clinics to stave off the signs of aging. Why are these non-invasive cosmetic treatments so popular? Well, it’s because they deliver instant gratification, cost less, and involve less downtime than plastic surgery.
What are the available treatments? Here are just a few of your choices:
1. Diamond Peel: this is also known as chemical peeling. It is a procedure that removes visible signs of aging on the face, hands, neck, and chest. What is involved here is a special diamond dust-coated wand that exfoliates your skin. The combined polishing action of the precious gem’s chips and the cleaning action of the vacuum removes dead skin cells that are found at the surface layer of the skin. At the end, you come out with a softer, smoother, cleaner, and more supple-looking skin. This was made to treat the fine lines, scars, and pigmentation. This is mild enough that you can actually do it on a weekly basis, depending, of course, on your skin’s condition.
2. Skin tightening and rejuvenation: there is no downtime involved here, but it can help improve skin texture and colour. It is also known to minimize the size of your pores. This is meant to treat fine lines and wrinkles, remove blemishes, and reverse sun damage. Treatments can be done separately if you want to target specified areas per session. The machine used here is called Emax. It uses Electro Optical Synergy, or energy from light and radiofrequency to improve your skin. You get a more toned and lifted appearance generally after the third session. Since skin continues to age, you will need a booster treatment if you want to maintain that youthful look.
3. Fractional Laser Rejuvenation: this rejuvenates skin at a deeper level with very minimal down time. This treats wrinkles, scars, and age spots. This combines both laser and Intense Pulse Light for fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing and tightening. It’s quick and comfortable so you won’t even be required to take in any form of anaesthesia. These machines work best for women with lighter skin tones. If you are darker, the doctor will first have to readjust the laser machine settings so you get results that are just as effective. The number of sessions will be tailored to your personal needs. If you have sessions every six to eight weeks for at least two months, you will definitely see an improvement. You’ll be required to avoid swimming in chlorine-treated pools, staying under the heat of the sun for long periods of time, and dipping in hot tubs.
Beauty is no longer unattainable because science has given women a variety of solutions. You don’t the plastic surgeon to look young. In fact, you may not choose them at all once you find out that there are less risky methods available for you.

The world is filled with stereotypes. People often see the older generation as the weak ones, the ones who are entirely dependent on others for their daily needs. But can you really blame them for thinking that way? After all, you see a lot of the older people walking slowly with the help of their cane. If they aren’t walking, they are in their wheelchairs being pushed around by caregivers or nurses.
Many haven’t aged quite well because they also think that life changes once you hit retirement. The moment you go past the age of 50 or 60, you often lead yourself to believe that you need to take it easy and that doing physical activities is no longer a possibility. Old age stereotypes of every form, size, and shape run abound in the minds of the people.
If you happen to think of old age in a negative light, then you could also suffer the ill effects of your attitudes. Your belief could finally manifest itself to become the truth that you live with. You could actually subject yourself to ridicule. You can counter these beliefs. Many don’t realize that some of their remarks can actually be derogatory. When they forget things, they make jokes about being caught in a senior moment. But the people who make such remarks aren’t even considered a senior yet. Only when they become part of the crowd will they take offense to that statement. They set out the bait, and unfortunately, most of you just take it with a grain of salt. You can fight for what is obviously untrue. In fact, more and more people are proving the public wrong. As they participate in active play, they realize that they can actually keep up with the younger generation.
Take a look at the greeting cards. You’ll find that many of them make fun of old age. The danger behind the stereotype is that the older set of individuals gets to believe it. They may laugh at the remarks, but deep inside, they think that the statement is actually true. If you see yourself aging and exposed to these remarks, you may consequently reduce you activities. You narrow your outlook in life and expect less of yourself. You will always think that people will pardon you simply because you are older. The more you believe in something, the truer it becomes. You start losing your health and will be unable to do many of things you love most.
A positive view towards aging can do so much in improving the quality of your life. You age with grace and will look at life as an adventure waiting to happen. In fact, many things can still happen. If you just open yourself up to this new world, you will realize that there are things you have yet to look forward to. Stop thinking old and focus on what you have yet to offer. You have wisdom to back you up, and you know that this is an extremely valuable asset. Start working out and eating healthy. Yes, you do have to make the extra effort to take care of your health, but you know that this can reap so many benefits.
Get into touch with who you truly are inside and get to know your strength. You will soon realize that age is but a state of mind.
I am very surprised that with more and more people becoming conscious of only putting healthy things into their body’s that more attention isn’t being paid by the cosmetics industry to developing organic skin care products to replace the formulas that they are currently selling. We could all truly use a healthy shift by the major cosmetics companies.
I say this because in case you hadn’t noticed by reading the ingredients labels of the majority of the products that are now available to us the cosmetics companies are not providing us with healthy products. What you will find inside almost every one of their products are harmful chemicals, and useless synthetic ingredients. These are not the kinds of ingredients that you need to develop healthy skin.
You need the type of ingredients that you would find in organic skin care products if you want your skin to be healthier. All that these chemical filled products will do is cause your skin harm, and they could possibly be damaging to your overall health as well. Many of the chemical agents most commonly used have the potential to cause you to develop various types of cancer.
The reason that so many of the cosmetics companies use these types of dangerous chemical ingredients in their products is simple. The chemicals are available in large quantities, and they cost very little to use. Comparatively speaking natural ingredients are much more costly due to the fact that they required more processing in order to render them into usable forms.
So the bottom line on the leading cosmetics companies’ decision against developing organic skin care products is that it would decrease their overall profit margin. The fact that they let just a few dollars per product keep them from developing products that would be safer for you to use is simply infuriating. They should put your health ahead of their profits, but this is not an ideal world.
What you need to do is avoid using any of the brand name products that are available in favor of some of the smaller distributors that actually focus their attention on developing healthy all natural skin care products. Not only are the products that these companies make safer for you to use, but the all natural ingredients also work more effectively on your skin.
If I were to recommend a manufacturer of organic skin care products to you it would have to be the company from New Zealand that made the discovery that a unique blend of keratin proteins, which they call Functional Keratin, causes the body’s production of collagen and elastin to significantly increase. This ingredient will literally make you look years younger.
The organic skin care products that this company manufactures are full of plant based oils, waxes, and emollients, and simply filled to the brim with natural antioxidants. These are all ingredients that will soothe, and heal your damaged skin. These are simply the best natural anti aging skin care products in the world today, and you owe it to yourself to try them.
On my website, I cover other amazing natural substances I've uncovered, like phytessence wakame, which is a secret the Japanese use to keep themselves looking young, yet available to us here in the Western world via the Internet.

How many anti wrinkle face cream reviews have you read lately? have you make up your mind on what product you want to buy? I guess no. The problem is that there are too many options of skin care and anti aging creams that claim to regain your skin youthfulness and rejuvenate your skin.
So let me give you a little help, there are different places on the internet where you can find reviews of face creams from customers, for example you can go to amazon.com and search for your favorite cream and you will notice that at the bottom of the page there are many reviews from previous customers, some reviews will be positive and some negative.
But first you have to decide what kind of cream you need and what you need it for. For example if you just wan to moisturize your cream there are many facial creams that will do the job, but if you want an anti wrinkle facial cream there are many other options and you can get confused easily.
if you want to buy an anti wrinkle cream you should read the labels first and see what kind of ingredients it contains. Many popular creams only contain chemicals and cheap synthetic ingredients that only harm your skin.
Here is my recommendation:
First is important that you follow a daily skin care routine, you have to cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin.
If you want to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles a good natural anti aging cream can make a huge difference in your appearance as long as is made of just organic ingredients with no additives, no chemicals and no synthetic substances.
Is also very important to follow a balanced diet, by eating nutritive foods and are full of vitamins that your body needs. Vitamins contain anti oxidants that are vital to protect your skin from toxins. Ray A. Rubio
