Last week we spoke about the importance of using anti aging eye cream and what to look for when choosing an eye cream to add to our beauty regimen.  If you were not able to visit the blog last week, here are the links to those specific posts:

Why do we need eye cream?
Choosing an Anti-aging eye cream

To end the mini "eye-care" series, today's post will be about an eye cream we have been testing out for the past few weeks: Own Skin Health Lifting Eye Cream. 

Most anti wrinkle lifting eye creams contain ingredients that provide extra moisture to your skin. This helps in diminishing darkness from the skin making it look more firm. Many anti wrinkle eye creams contain vitamins A and D. These are the vitamins that are lost when skin is exposed to sun rays for a long period over time.

Own Skin Health Lifting Eye Cream is a little different. How?

For starters, the eye cream contains CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which is a plant based technology that is formulated to work with your bodies unique chemistry. So what does that mean for you?  Well, although our body chemistry differs from one another, with proper application and use over time, we should be able to see great results.  True, some of us may experience these lifting results sooner than others, but none the less - RESULTS should be seen.

Okay - now that you know what key ingredient is in this Lifting Eye Cream, let me make a list of what is NOT in this eye cream:

• Retinol Free formula
• Fragrance Free
• Paraben Free
• Sulfate Free
• Non Greasy Formula

Another point to consider is that most anti wrinkle eye creams come in different potencies and times of application. For example, if you wake up with puffiness and dark circles then it is recommended to apply an eye cream suited for morning application (day cream). On the opposite, night creams usually contain Alpha hydroxy acid which is intended to protect/repair your skin from damage, which is why it is best to apply these types of eye cream at night only.

The best part of using the Own Skin Health Lifting Eye Cream is that it can be applied to the delicate eye area morning or night. There is no need to go out and buy two separate brands of eye cream, when this tube alone helps to strengthen the skin so it can retain more moisture as well as increase your skin's metabolism for softer, smoother younger looking skin.

So, the question at hand will always remain the same: Do anti-wrinkle eye creams really work?

In my honest opinion, anti-aging creams, such as the Own Skin Health Lifting Eye Cream, are local applications that when applied to the skin on a daily basis, the effects produced can be quite visible over a short period of time. According to research conducted by Own Skin Health, most women were able to see changes to their eye skin area as soon as eight weeks. At first, I {perhaps like many of you reading this post} was skeptical, however after a few weeks of using the eye cream, I have to say that the skin around my eyes feels more hydrated, softer and supple than before.

To see how I apply my eye cream, please refer to this older post {HERE}.

As a rule of thumb, anyone who is willing to try out a new product should always keep in mind that everyone's body chemistry is different. You may not always see the results right off the back, but if you are patient by allowing your skin and body time to adjust to the eye cream, you could be pleasantly surprised at the great results you will have.

Remember along with taking care of your skin with a beauty regimen, a good diet that includes drinking more water, vitamin c, antioxidants from consuming veggies and living an active lifestyle are also great ways of keeping those wrinkles at bay.

Choosing an Anti-aging Eye Cream

When it comes to choosing an anti-aging eye cream, the possibilities are endless. The choices range from high end department store brands, to affordable names brands and can be found in all shapes, sizes, and forms. So you can imagine that when it comes time to choose an anti-aging eye cream that will produce the best results for you, the job is a tough one. Whether your target area is above the eye, below the eye, or the eyelashes, the possibilities are definitely there.

For the Eyelashes

Although not your ordinary anti-aging eye cream, the products available for your eyelashes are enriched with a complex of lecithin along with plant extracts. It's meant to promote growth of the lashes, and is clinically proven to do so while conditioning your existing lashes.

Product Recommendation:
L'Oreal Paris Lash Boosting Technology, 24-Hour Lash Boosting Power System Kit (1 Day and 1 Night)

Wrinkle Reducers

A few different kinds of anti-aging eye cream can be found that reduce wrinkles while promoting healthy skin. Some of these wrinkle reducers are left on over night and then washed off, while others are meant to be used under makeup or as a lotion alone. The severity of the eye lines you are trying to reduce or smooth will probably make a big difference in which type of anti-aging eye cream you decide to use. For more deep lines or crows feet, you will probably want to use an overnight treatment, coupled with a leave on treatment. For softer lines that need just a bit of smoothing, a leave on conditioner should do the trick.

Product Recommendations: 
Olay Regenerist Eye Regenerating Cream Plus Touch Of Concealer 0.5 Fl Oz

Age Defying Choices

In addition to worrying about wrinkles, lines, and brittle eyelashes, we simply want to defy our age. It's natural, as getting older means feeling older. What better way to feel younger than to look younger? With age defying anti-aging eye cream choices, defying age is a possibility. The choices in this area include firming cream and glow enhancers but the line tends to also offer natural choices such as chamomile anti-aging eye cream, and herbal treatments.

Product Recommendations: 
Own Products Lifting Eye Cream

Many products offer multiple benefits in one treatment, while others come in kits and require multiple steps. The severity of your problem areas don't really matter as to whether a one step or multiple step treatment is the best choice, however pricing, time availability, and satisfaction should be the deciding factors.

Beauty Question Answered: Why Do We Need Eye Creams?

Believe it or not, your lifestyle takes a toll on your eyes. Eating and sleeping habits along with the growing age leave a visible impact on the soft tissues that guard your eyes from outside. These tissues don't have any fat glands, which makes them the most sensitive organ in the human body. Everyday your eyes are exposed to dust, smoke and other irritants that have harmful effects.

Fine lines, wrinkles, mottled pigment are some of the symptoms of skin damage around eyes. Other aspects like skin color, skin tone also get affected. Eye creams have formulations that deal with these issues. With the prescribed use of these creams, your eyes will look young again.

Some of the advantages of eye creams are:

• Very effective
• Absorb quickly
• Safe ingredients
• Reasonably price
• Wrinkle-reducer ingredients
• Match the pH level of your tears

An eye cream protects the delicate folds of your eyes from dehydration by supplying essential moisture to the thin walls (layers) of tissues that are often neglected.

To protect your skin from withering and age prematurely, vitamins A and D are used within the formulation of eye cream. It's because of the upper damaged layers of tissues that your eyes give tired and aged look. An eye cream that contains acids can clean up and remove these dead layers revealing fresh, younger skin from beneath.

Prolonged exposure to sun can cause maximum damage to the eyes. Absorbing sunlight may healthy for other parts of the body but not for the delicate skin around your eyes. Protect your eyes form the harmful rays of the sun. Use sun glasses when exposed to sun.

Remember, eyes are the most beautiful and sensitive part of human anatomy. A thin, fine line makes all the difference in times when being young is everything.
