In Addition to the Best Under Eye Cream, consider …

May 5th, 2013

So that’s great! You’re working on something that is bothering you! But wait… we can all tend to be a bit self critical and focus on details that others might not see. What is important now, is to make sure that you are not so obsessed with your eyes that you let everything else go!
For a cheap reference with some great tips, try: this amazing eBook.

Don’t forget about other details. You are a total package. By considering the extras, you can achieve better results.

  1. You are what you eat. If you are eating junk (or even stuff that is mass produced), you’ll be surprised at the impact on your appearance. What used to stop me here, is that healthy food, in my mind, did not always taste good. Look around. Make sure you are getting a balanced diet, sufficient essential oils and EFA, as well as a good selection of healthy natural products that you really like.

  4. Exercise regularly. I love a good 1/2 hour walk everyday, as well as some strength building work. I don’t want to be a hulk, just toned!

  5. Clothes are important. Choose ones you like, are comfortable in and that highlight your assets. On the subject of clothes – make sure you pay attention to sun damage. There are some really great clothes that don’t leave everything “hanging out”, and give you sun coverage. But be reasonable!!

  6. Consider making a hat a regular part of your wardrobe… I mean when you are outside. Hats look great, and give you unbeatable sun protection. However a hat sitting at home does you no good at all. I have found some athletic-oriented hats, some of which can be used by runners or hikers to be highly functional and great looking. Of course there are other selections that will help you to dress it up a bit. But choose wisely!

  7. Grooming goes without saying! Tend to those eyebrows, lashes and red-eyes. You’ll find with everything else you are doing that this does not end up being a huge chore. No matter how great your eye’s look, a caterpillar above them will not look good.

As I stressed previously, ideas do nothing. It is actions that speak. You are better choosing a few things that you will stick with, than many things that you will abandon. If cutting down a bit on the junk food, adding a bit more F&V (Fruit and veg) to your diet, wearing a sunscreen and a hat are all you want to start with, that’s fine.

Reassess yourself regularly. Check to see if there is anything you should change. It is easy to sink back into a pattern of comfort. You might choose not to start an exercise routine at first. If you don’t come back every so often and ask what you should change, what is the chance you’ll start spontaneously exercising later!!! (slim). Pick a date (I use the 1st day of each month when I turn over the calendar page), to quickly think, “What is working?”, “What is not?”, and “What am I missing?”

Choices for The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream

May 5th, 2013

I quickly realized that I needed to find the best under eye wrinkle cream. Specifically the best cream to get rid of dark circles under eyes. I began what was to end up being a very long process. I had no idea that it would take me so much time to find what I would need. I certainly did not think that I would waste so much money on this search. There is a difference on spending money and wasting money. If you buy something, and get value for your money, see results and control what you purchase – that is spending. If you end up trying multiple skin care products, and jumping from product to product in the desperate search for results, the expenses quickly pile up. Whether your choices have been expensive or not, if the purchases do not live up to your expectations, then you are wasting money.

For me – here are the top three solutions in my cabinet. Look around at other solutions on this site and you may find others that work best for you!

    1.  Lifecell – This stuff is wonderful. I found that it tackled puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and could be used on the under-eye, lid, brow without irritation. I have sensitive eyes. It is on the expensive end, but for me was well worth it. I use this as my main go-to solution.
      • Highly rated and well reviewed
      • no side effect
      • visible improvements around eyes, lids, brows
      • reduce puffiness/bags
      • reduce circles
      • reduce wrinkles and fine lines
      • offers free trial

        LifeCell Choices for The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream

    2.  BASQNYC Cucumber Tea Eye Gel is my prefered product for periods of high allergic activity. When the pollen is high (or the cats are shedding), I get terribly itchy eyes. Rather then rub them furiously and undo everything else I have been trying to do, I find the this gel is really soothing. It is not a full solution in many ways…. it does not address many of my problems, but I have normal-oily skin, and this soothes without being greasy.
      •  Alleviates irritation and itching
      • Moisturizes without adding greasiness
      • Works well on dark circles
      • Seems to last a long time for me

    3. Sheseido Sun Protection Eye Cream is my alternate eye cream when I know that I am going to be in bright sunlight. Since my eyes are sensitive, I can’t have lots of harsh chemicals near my eyes. This product uses zinc oxide as the SPF, so it is not a problem for me.
      • Great for sun protection
      • a bit thick to apply, but absorbs nicely and does not run.
      • Good results for fine lines

So there is my current list. Based on my needs, the type of activities, skin types, allergies and climate, these products have given me good results.  I’d love to hear your comments on these items. Did they work well for you? Do you  have any other recommendations to share? If you post comments, please share details about your skin type and specific needs so we can all benefit from learning about products that work for different conditions.

With so many products on the market, and new ones arriving over time, sharing this information is our best way of learning without everyone having to spend so much trying them out.

Do your homework!

Eat Well for Healthy Skin

May 5th, 2013

There is so much junk food out there. Even worse, is junk food disguised as bening “healthy”. What you eat is so important to how you feel and how you look. There are many comprehensive guides on this subject. Check out the info on this page to describe some complementary aspects of skin care (including eating properly) A good balance diet can do wonders for your look.

Recently it was brought to my attention that food allergies can impact your skin condition as well. Have a look at Food Allergy Testing to see what this involves and what to expect.
I also found this neat calculator that is fun to experiment with. Give it a try!


For a more comprehensive description on nutritional analysis go here.

The Extras to Consider on this site also has many other areas that you should think about when it comes to skin care.

I have been vegetarian for about 15 years now, but being vegetarian does not always mean good health. There is lots of junk food available for us veggies too. Try to choose foods that complement each other, and that provide you with the mix of things you need. ALso very important for skin is to make sure you are getting enough of the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and Omega-3/Omega-6 oils.

Care For Your Skin With The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream

May 5th, 2013

Choosing the best eye cream dark circles, or for bags under the eyes is part of the secret. However, knowing how to use skin care products is an important step to success. Also knowing about other things (diet/exercise…) is important too. Using skin care products can be like walking through a field of landmines. Here I will describe the steps that I have used to maximize the benefits and results of LifeCell in combination with my other routine skin care products.

It is important to follow these instructions to achieve consistent results, but remember, if you miss a day or miss a step, just carry on. This is an ongoing process that is meant to be intuitive and easy.

What you need:

  1. LifeCell (Life Cell) Anti Aging Wrinkle South Beach Skin Care. Get Lifecell here.
  2. A good quality skin and facial soap for gentle cleaning. I use Aveda Tourmaline Charged Cleanser Care For Your Skin With The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Creamwhich works well for me. If you have another product that suits you, feel free to stick with that.
  3. A good make-up remover. My favorite one is Bioderma Crealine H2o Ultra-mild Cleanser Care For Your Skin With The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream, but there is a wide selection of other suitable products which might give similar results.
  4. A sun protection skin cream that is suitable for facial application. I use one based on zinc oxide rather than harsh chemicals which might interact with other products. I would recommend that if you are not using Shiseido Sun Protection Eye Cream Care For Your Skin With The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream
  5. A product for occasional use if you have dry, allergic or irritated eyes. Again, I swear by this one by BASQNYC Care For Your Skin With The Best Under Eye Wrinkle Cream. I have tried many alternatives and have found this one to be the best.

Order of use:

  1. Use all cleansing and soap products according to their directions prior to using the products that will stay on your skin, like LifeCell.
  2. After cleansing, the first product to use is LifeCell.
  3. On days when I have irritating allergies, I skip the use of LifeCell in the morning, and use my BASQNYC cream instead.
  4. After applying LifeCell, then use the Shiseido SPF protection (if required)
  5. Next, follow-up with your regular makeup….. eye shadow, blusher etc…

Specific LifeCell instructions:

  1. Read the extensive product information the box and the pamphlet in the box. The tube of LifeCell has a small hole for dispensing the cream. This eliminated a frustration I’ve had with other products, where it is difficult to dispense exactly what you need, leading to waste.
  2. Your first application should be at night. Don’t try to take a short-cut here. Starting with an application that can stay (without other products being layered on top), will show you some dramatic results. The instructions suggested initially applying to half of my face. I started around 8 p.m. so I would be alert enough to really judge the results.
    • Cleanse your skin using your makeup remover and facial soap.
    • Use a small amount of cream and apply it to your forehead.  Smooth it in completely, and apply more if required.
    • Repeat this one side of your eye, then the other.
    • Continue this, paying special attention to any areas of your face that appear creased.
    • For the area under your eyes, dab small amounts on the bone below your eye, working it gently upwards. You don’t need to go too close to your eye, the product will absorb.
    • If you notice it taking too long to absorb, reduce the amount you are using.
  3. After about 5 or 6 minutes. When I looked in the mirror, it was such an obvious difference, that I quickly applied the cream to the rest of my face.
  4. Before going to bed a few hours later, I was able to observe:
    • Visible and effective skin moisturizing without the slimy feel that many products have.
    • Lines and wrinkles appeared to be softened, but my skin did not look tight and dry – which seems to be the common complaint of other products.
    • Some small wrinkles seemed to be almost gone.
    • Overall, everything appeared to be lifted, or less tired looking.
  5. Continue to use LifeCell twice daily… morning and evening. Repeat the steps
    • Cleanse
    • Apply LifeCell
    • Apply other makeup products after LifeCell.
  6. Do not forget to use the Shiseido SPF protection when you expect prolonged sun exposure.

What to expect:

You will probably notice results on the very first day. I did, and they were not just little changes, but clearly visible results. After the first week, you will see continued improvements, with the full deep effects really showing in as little as 28-30 days. Since this cream contains compounds that deliver immediate short term results (such as changing how the light reflects on your skin) as well as longer term results (changing the cell metabolism and collagen production), make sure to keep using it, and you’ll see continued benefits. Patience and consistency are the keys you’ll need.

You will be impressed with the results, and they only seem to get even better given time.

Why LifeCell works

May 5th, 2013

Don’t trust products that claim to deliver magic results. By understanding why a product works, you can have some reasonable expectations of results. You may have found LifeCell by now! Many of the advertisements and websites about it are a bit “cheesy”, but I did find this one video on Youtube that provides some good information about the fundamentals. This stuff is truly impressive!

I had trouble with the website mentioned in this video, but you can get it directly on Amazon using the link below.
