Eye Shall Look Young

The eyes are the windows to your soul- so as to your age. Looking at a woman’s eye will give away her real age. But then, who says we couldn’t cheat our way to youth? We just have to know where to find anti-aging products that are designed to restore our youthful gaze, preferably those with instant visible results.

Coming to us this April is something that might just lead us an inch closer to the fountain of youth, as GoodSkin Labs is bringing Eyliplex-2 to the Philippines, which is touted to be a breakthrough, 24-hour system with fast-acting formula that promises to give lasting results. Let us have a sneak peek on what it has to offer:

The regimen consists of a two-part system of a day gel and a night balm that compliment each other, hence the name Eyliplex-2. The former is said to instantly awaken the eyes by instantly smoothing and lifting lines, making wrinkles appear less obvious and the skin more radiant. The long-lasting night balm should help recharge and repair the skin by using a cocktail of highly effective ingredients aiming to reduce the appearance of dark circles, restore firmness and further continuing to reduce the appearance of eye area wrinkles. The "siamese-twins" packaging makes sure these two are together so you wouldn't skip a step.

Active Ingredients

The cocktail of ingredients consists of 124 components that are combined to work synergistically to target eye area complexities both immediately and over time.

GoodSkin Labs boast of its two highly effective botanically-derived tightening and lifting agents in the day gel: the Suberlift™ and Polylift® . The Suberlift is derived from cork oak that acts as an emollient that fills in wrinkles, thereby instantly lessening its appearance. The Polylift, on the other hand, is a more aggressive tightening film former, extracted from sweet almond, which stretches out the wrinkle making the eye area appear smoother. As if these two active ingredients are not enough, the Advanced Rho-Cite™ Complex boosts the array of active agents, being made up of a variety of antioxidants and minerals (rhodochrosite, zinc pca, green tea extract, caffeine and Vitamin E extract) that help nourish the skin and protect it from environmental stressors, thus preserving its natural collagen and elastin.

The night balm picks up from the day gel and optimizes the skin’s natural recovery process through two complexes: the Haloxyl PFE™ and Mala-plump™Complex. The former comes from passionflower to reduce the appearance of dark circles by helping to restore firmness while sleeping, while the latter is made up of minerals (malachite, caffeine and a Vitamin C derivative) that enables skin regeneration and fights off free radicals and environmental aggressors while boosting the production of collagen.

Uses

The product claims to
• visibly lift and tighten skin to diminish wrinkles around the eyes
• boost the production of collagen
• reduce the appearance of dark undereye circles
• reduce eye puffiness

To prove it, GoodSkin Labs released the results of their clinical studies with the following statistical figures:

Concealing Dark Undereye Circles Technique From Eve Pearl

Dark Undereye Circles

You look like a panda bear despite a restful sleep and you're not even that old. It paints a tired look on you face even when you're more pumped up than the energizer bunny. The problem on dark undereye circles continues to haunt women for ages. What gives?

I will clue you in on the common causes of dark undereye eyes circles and offer remedies to help you out.

Common Causes:

• Genetics. Observe your family lineage of pandas... err dark undereye circles. Excess pigmentation can be inherited. Sometimes, it may run in your blood that the skin beneath the eyes are thin enough to be transparent, causing the bluish color of the veins to be evident.

• Lack of sleep. If you live like a vampire, chances are you will be prone to dark undereyes. Nocturnal lifestyle and fatigue can contribute to the pallor of the skin which exposes the bluish tint of the veins.

• Allergies. When your allergies are acting up due to triggering factors like pollens, dust and the like, it causes the smudges around the eye area. Rubbing of the eyes, in turn can worsen the darkness because the skin around the eyes are delicate.

• Dehydration. Notice how people suffering from diarrhea develop sunken eyeballs in a few hours. That's an indication of dehydration. You, too can have those if you don't drink up enough glasses of water a day.
  

• Water Retention. Okay, stop gobbling up your 1oth gallon of water for the day. People with kidney problems like nephrotic syndrome have difficulty excreting the water that comes in, hence retaining the water in tissues and dilating the blood vessels which gives rise to dark undereye area. Excessive intake of salt and smoking aggravates the condition.

• Sun exposure. This increases pigmentation and thinning out of the skin.
  

• Medications. Drugs causing the vessels to dilate such as birth control pills which increases blood flow and will be remarkable in the undereyes because of the thin skin.
  

• Alcohol intake. This dehydrates and thins out the skin. Go easy on the margaritas.
  

• Pregnancy and Menstruation. Both cause pallor of the skin and subsequent exposure of the veins beneath. Water retention also plays a role.
  

• Nutrition. Conditions like Iron deficiency anemia can contribute to the bluish discoloration around the eye area.
  

• Eyeglasses. The weight of the glasses can cause poor blood circulation.
  

• Deep set eyes. The bone structure of your face could contribute to the shadowing which exacerbates the dark discoloration on the undereyes.
  

• Aging. Skin starts to sag upon aging due to the loss of elasticity. This makes the darkness more noticeable.
