A New Look At Youthful Eyes

March 4, 2021 By patkaspian

Skincare is what I have dedicated my life to. Addressing skin concerns, helping you maintain your loveliest skin for the longest time without resorting to surgery or invasive procedures. It’s the French way.  But this past year has required a more targeted focus, in addition to skin. The windows of the soul- the eyes  and  the eye contour have taken center-stage.

Granted, I have always recommended eye serums and treatments as part of the total regimen to keep us looking youthful. But the new emphasis on screen time damage from blue light (Netflix binging qualifies..), mask-wearing  and the  general effect most of us have felt from the upheaval  in our daily routines (poor sleep patterns, pollution, lack of exercise, dietary missteps) has impacted the eye contour even more. 

Thankfully, SOTHYS Paris has developed  PRESCRIPTION JEUNESSE – a salon treatment paired with 2 simple homecare products to REPAIR the signs of aging (wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness) as well as PREVENT future damage.  Active ingredients developed from natural origins. French digi-esthetique movements .  A synthesis of the best from science and nature to protect the eyes against external aggression to leave them visibly younger, brighter, more radiant and relaxed.

Some facts I’d like to share with you:

The eye area is fragile and five times thinner than the rest of the face, and less resilient to aging because of its constant use. Blinking happens more than 10,000 times every day!

Blue Light

It’s a wavelength also known as HEV (High Visible Energy), longer than UV rays and can therefore alter the structure of skin cells whose collagen and elastin production DECREASES (ouch), therefore triggering premature skin aging.

What Causes Aging Around The Eyes?

  • DEHYDRATION, DRYNESS, FINE LINES AND WRINKLES-In thin skin it is easier for water to evaporate and there are a great many frequent muscle movements
  • PUFFINESS – This is caused mostly by poor lymph circulation
  • DARK CIRCLES (blue, brown, red, purple)-Poor blood circulation
  • LACK OF RADIANCE- Structure and  organization of skin interfaces

With these facts in mind (help Mr. Wizard!), Sothys has blended the best of nature with scientific advanced research to develop two go-to products for immediate results.

Radiance Cream for Wrinkles/Dark Circles and Puffiness

Recommended morning and night around the entire eye contour

FLAX SEED EXTRACT to protect the skin barrier against external aggressions and to protect the dermal structures (loss of structure= saggy, baggy skin!) Did you know that Sothys employs a green chemistry process that eliminates the need to introduce chemicals?

ULTRA-REGENERATING COMPLEX composed of  TRI-PEPTIDES to stimulate collagen, VITAMIN B5 to soothe and HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYALURONIC ACID  for immediate plumping and hydration.This is the magic bullet that attacks the wrinkles.

MEADOW PLANT to enhance radiance around the eyes with light-diffusing action.

TARA-SUNFLOWER for anti-blue light protective action

VITAMIN PP/HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT/RED ALGAE & BIGARADE to reduce dark circles and puffiness.

Anti-Puffiness Cryo Roll-on

Recommended morning and night applied to the lower lid using the three balls and pressing down lightly on the tube. Smooth the gel into the skin from the inner corner of the eye working towards the temple. Store the tube in the fridge for a few hours for an even more refreshing, and relaxing feel.

FLAX SEED EXTRACT and ULTRA-REGENERATING PEPTIDE COMPLEX (above)

CAFFEINE & oligosaccharides from marine plants provide anti-puffiness activity

RED ALGAE EXTRACT decongests to further reduce puffiness.

Seeing is believing, and what better way to boost your new homecare than with a CRYO EYE PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT in the salon. Let me take you to la-la land with this 30-minute treatment  specifically designed for the delicate eye contour, immediately erasing signs of fatigue and aging, with the refreshing and decongesting effect of Sothys’ exclusive modeling porcelain spoons.

I hope to “see” you soon- wink wink!
