WINTER IS ALL ABOUT THE EYES!
More and more people understand that inflammation triggers health issues, including skin dysfunction, so the demand is steadily growing for anti-inflammatory products. Trends such as Retin-A or acid peels are decreasing in popularity with a noticeable shift in strengthening skin and improving skin barrier functions and microbiome.
Health and wellness came into focus amid the global pandemic and in the rise in the ‘skinification’ of beauty in 2021. It was no longer enough to rely on primers and highlighters for a healthy glow; we wanted hardworking actives and hero ingredients to rejuvenate our skin at a more meaningful level. Cult creams/ serums were replaced by cult ingredients as people broadened their skincare knowledge and demanded ethically sourced, local and organic products. In this article I’m going to focus on kind products for your eyes (since the rest of our faces are covered by masks). To help your naturally occurring substances in this delicate area, it is paramount to prescribe the right formulations of specially designed products that will protect, strengthen and absorb into your skin. All eye serums should include a moisturising ingredient because enzyme activities in the skin always require hydration. Drinking water is very beneficial but do be aware that drinking while eating will dilute the enzyme activity. As the skin's collagen declines, the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration will become more visible, so maximise your collagen levels to keep your skin supple. Hyaluronic acid is ideal to increase collagen synthesis, retain moisture and contribute to the antiaging effects in your skin. Also consider including powerful antioxidants, vitamins and peptides to your regime. Here’s a little hint, try applying eye serum to the lip lines. It works wonders! For your eyes, after cleansing your face, pump a little product on your ring finger, dot gently and then massage around the orbital (avoiding the lids and lashes). We have just received Jane Iredale’s new autumn/winter season, so let’s add some stunning colour to your eyes with these non-toxic beauty products. Combining skincare with a velvet finish, they will also protect your delicate eye skin during the colder months. The colour palettes are incredible with beautiful rich autumn colours and each eye shadow delivers perfectly curated and complementary colours that will make your eyes pop. This range is for all ages, stages and skin tones with neutral mattes right through to shimmery shades. Clean colour never looked so good with this dynamic collection.
