What’s the first thing you notice about a person?  Chances are their eyes.  One of the main give aways in telling a person’s age is their wrinkled or sunken in eyes.  The skin surrounding your eyes is extremely thin, the thinnest on your body, and the skin thickness only decreases with age.  Eyelid skin does not contain any oil glands unlike the rest of your face, making the eyes more susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.  Keeping this eyelid area well moisturized is a vital part of any anti-aging regimen.  

Yes, men this includes you too!  

Choosing an eye cream that works for you is key to keeping a fresh, youthful appearance.  There are a variety of options to choose from in order to keep your eyelid skin looking its best: lasers, creams and serums to combat dark circles, puffiness, or wrinkles, the list can be exhausting.  One great advancement in the eyelid anti-aging area is the creation of the Clarisonic Opal. The Opal device is an eye serum applicator that uses sonic waves to penetrate the product deeper into the skin, while reducing the appearance of puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles.

With this new information you have going forward do you really want to ignore one of the most important areas on your face?  Absolutely not, take the time and guesswork out of finding the perfect eye cream for you, and come in for a professional consultation.

Remember if there’s ever a question or concern, just ask!
