RSSTHE BEST EYE CREAM
October 10, 2007
I don’t want any more time to go by without you knowing about this fantastic product, so it is the first article in the Skin Care category. I have never used a better eye cream. It’s called Skin Recovery Moisturizer. It’s made by Paula’s Choice.
Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Moisturizer
Let me clear about one thing : there is no such thing as “eye cream”. A well-made cream can be applied equally well on any body part. I’m calling it that here because it is of unrivaled excellence when used around the eyes. Here’s why.
A state-of-the-art formula and spectacular feel
It’s a very rich cream, so on my face, it only goes around my eyes (my skin is quite oily). I only use it at night and can still feel it there in the morning. I love that the cream doesn’t slip around after I apply it, so I can read for an hour without the cream moving into my eyes. My skin feels calm and looks shiny and moist all the time. Concealer just blends effortlessly the next morning.
You can use this cream anywhere on your body. If you have delicate or dry skin, you will love it on your entire face. It’s a gorgeous cream for throat and hands. I use the same skin care products on hands, arms, neck, and chest, all the skin that is most exposed. Your skin care routine does not end at your jaw line.
It feels incredibly luxurious. Now, I know better than to believe texture reflects ingredients, and you do too, right? I also use it because of what I know it contains. This cream incorporates the best of what is known about skin care today, with antioxidants, peptides, and anti-irritants in high enough concentration to actually do something. How do I know that for sure? I can’t read a cosmetic ingredient label.
Say hello to Paula
I know it because I’ve followed Paula’s work. Her opinions come from established sources that are respected in the scientific community. This woman has devoted her career to empowering women by telling them the truth about cosmetics. I have faith in what she says and in what she sells. What else do any of us really have to base purchase decisions on, other than our trust in the person/company that is selling the product? You may think of an expensive brand name that you would like to trust because you figure they must know something more about skin care … think again. There is absolutely no consistency in that line of thought.
Protect what you still have
Do the the lines around my eyes vanish? Of course not. No eye cream can do that. When it comes to wrinkles, prevention is the name of the game, and that means sunscreen, the sooner in life, the better. The texture of my skin is definitely firmer, but the lines are still there and always will be. The only thing that will remove them is plastic surgery. If you are 20 and reading this, get started now.
Don’t buy into beauty industry hype
I don’t accept the notion that eye cream is somehow different from face cream. I don’t believe eye cream has smaller molecules that are absorbed differently. I think it’s a marketing ploy. They put it in a smaller tube and charge you three times the price.
Manufacturers may take out the fragrance, but you shouldn’t use fragranced products on your face anyhow. If I can’t put a product around my eyes, why in the world would I put it anywhere else on my face? Products that smell wonderful can also be irritating, either with the first application, or over time. The fragrance is of no use to your skin. If you use a cream just because you like the smell and it makes you feel like you’re doing something special for yourself, you need to get past that. Buy some expensive tea instead.
The fancy containers are not helping your skin so don’t pay for them. The packaging certainly matters but slick and shiny is not where the profit is to you.
Products you can really trust
I will be posting in the future about this company because I think they’re remarkable. I believe that their passion and integrity is sincere and that the products do what they say they will, not more and not less. Furthermore, the line is entirely affordable. I know that when I trade my money for any of Paula’s products, I do not have to wonder for a moment if I’ll get what I’m hoping for.
