The Eye Opening Effects of Eye Cream

By Leave a Comment

 

Treat your eyes delicately

The skin around our eyes is a very important component of our complexion. As we age, this delicate skin can begin to develop under-eye circles, fine lines and wrinkles, and can begin to sag. But the good news is that we can reduce the appearance of these detractors from younger-looking eyes with consistent application of eye serums or creams. But why use a product specifically designated for the eyes? Why can I not use my moisturizer for my eyes as well? The delicate tissue around our eyes (also known as the “eye contour”) is approximately five times thinner than the skin on the rest of our face. So when we use moisturizer on these areas, the larger molecular composition of the cream is not able to absorb into the thinner eye contour tissue. We therefore don’t get the benefit of hydration, wrinkle-reduction or tightening of the eye contour skin. But not to worry, Jan Marini and Sothys have something to address every issue in restoring younger-looking, more rested eyes.

The treatment solutions to revive your eyes from Jan Marini Skin Research & Sothys

Jan Marini offers four proven products to combat aging and dehydration.

jan-marini-eye-blog

Transformation Eye Cream: The Jan Marini Transformation Eye Cream contains a patented combination of growth factors and peptides to visibly improve texture and restore hydration in the eye area. This will cause a major transformation and improvement to the appearance of the skin around your eyes. It is recommended to use sparingly morning and evening to lower lids and across the brow bone for best results.

Age Intervention Eye Cream: The Jan Marini Age Intervention Eye Cream will help soften, smooth, hydrate, firm and define the appearance of the eye area. It will dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles around the eye contour area, as retinol is an active ingredient to regenerate tissue. It is also recommended to use sparingly morning and evening to lower lids and across the brow bone for best results (same as the Transformation Eye Cream).

Luminate Eye Gel: The Jan Marini Luminate Eye Gel is specifically designed for the delicate eye area, as it reduces the appearance of under-eye circles, crepey skin and fine lines and wrinkles. You will also experience brighter and more radiant looking skin around the eyes with this amazing eye gel. This product should be used sparingly morning and evening to lower lids only. It is part of Jan Marini’s Luminate line and has received excellent reviews!

C-Esta Eye Repair Concentrate: The Jan Marini C-Esta Eye Repair Concentrate is an intensive antioxidant formula containing high concentrations of Vitamin C along with DMAE, CoEnzyme Q10 and other revolutionary topical agents to address multiple visible signs of aging around the eye. It will help lift, firm and tone your eye contour area. (If only it could do that to our entire body…) It is recommended to use sparingly morning and evening to lower eyelids and upper eyelids down to the crease, and can be used alone or with other Jan Marini eye creams for additional hydration.

SOTHYS

SOTHYS offers three products to fight wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness: Anti-Puffiness Gel, Multi-Action Eye Contour & Dark Circle Eraser.Eye-Contour

The SOTHYS Anti-Puffiness Gel is a unique roll-on applicator with a cooling effect that instantly reduces puffiness. Lupine seed extract decongests, improves micro-circulation and prevents the slackening of lower eyelids. This product should be applied to the lower lids (under-eye) morning and evening for intensive results.

SOTHYS Multi Action Eye Contour is just that- a multi-action: formula that reduces lines & wrinkles, diminishes dark circles and puffiness, hydrates and protects. It is formulated with Alfalfa extract and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and prevents breakdown of fibers. The Multi Action Eye Contour should be used morning and evening to lower lids (under eye area) and across the brow bone.

The Dark Circle Eraser conceals darks circles and reduces their appearance overtime. Mineral pigments and Soft Focus Powders visibly smoothes lines, and Vitamin PP + Yeast extract fights dark circles and reduces hyperpigmentation.

SOTHYS Secrets Eye Serum is composed from the same botanicals (Tex-OE prickly pear extract) and luxurious, rich texture of the SOTHYS Secrets anti-aging line, this intensive, total anti-wrinkle formula treats puffy eyes, dark circles and wrinkles. Its emollient, velvet quality penetrates quickly, leaving the delicate eye contour fresh, nourished and radiant.

Sunscreen Labels Aim to Protect Consumers from the Sun

Sunscreen Labels Aim to Protect Consumers from the Sun

With FDA regulations controlling sunscreens on the market, it’s important for us to represent brands and products that are upholding these guidelines, especially in regard to accurate SPF ratings.

Here are the FDA’s regulations on sunscreens:

  • Sunscreens will not be able to label an SPF above 50; If their SPF rates are actually higher than 50, then they can post SPF 50+
  • To list “broad spectrum” on a product, the sunscreen will need to provide protection from BOTH UVA and UVB rays
  •  If the sunscreen is a “broad spectrum” with an SPF rating of 15+, the packaging can include the following comment “If used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun”
  • In order to list “water resistant” on the packaging, the sunscreen has to be tested for the amount of time it remains resistant to swimming and sweating, and the time has to be listed on the label;  There are three to four-time markers that can be included on packaging depending on how a product tests, with the highest rating being 80 minutes

All sunscreens had to go through retesting (and proof of testing to match labeling) to remain on the market a few years ago. After testing was completed, Jan Marini Skin Research, Colorescience, and Sothys all met the FDA guidelines, showing that their high-quality standard formulas have always met or exceeded the highest standards.

4 Sunscreen Excuses You Should Never Use

There are a hundred reasons why we should wear sunscreen, yet the few negatives often prevent us from embracing the positive and getting our SPF on the right way! The majority of us think that the little SPF we apply in the morning (within our lotion or makeup) is enough to keep us protected, but it’s important to know that’s not the case! Beyond the serious risk of melanoma, dermatologists remind us that 95% of aging is directly due to sun damage. For that reason, we’re bringing to light the 4 sunscreen excuses that tend to keep us from wearing SPF the right way, and how Colorescience’s Sunforgettable products eliminate those excuses.

Bad Excuse #1: Most are Sticky and Stinky
Sunscreen has a bad reputation for being sticky and stinky. Find a sunscreen with a lightweight formula and test it on your skin before purchasing. This will give you a good idea of the smell and feel of the sunscreen on your skin.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Odorless, lightweight, and “barely-there” feel

Bad Excuse #2: Reapplying Messes Up Makeup
We know that all sunblocks require reapplication, which can be determined by their SPF number. SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor. The number represents the length of time you can stay out in the sun without burning, multiplied by the SPF number. However, this number can be deceiving. The general rule of thumb is to reapply every 3-4 hours regardless of SPF level due to water, rubbing of clothes, and sweat. Doctors also recommend an SPF 30, anything under that is too little.

Because creamy sunblocks are “organic,” not in the sense that they’re natural, but the fact that they interact with your own skin chemistry, they lose their effectiveness 3 to 4 hours after application.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Pure mineral powder sunscreens offer longer-lasting, water-resistant protection that won’t sweat off. You, therefore, get a literal “screen” effect on top of the skin while offering consistent SPF30 or SPF50 protection.

Bad Excuse #3: Sunscreens Contain Chemicals
Pure minerals are essentially the only sun protection recommended for young children, whose delicate skins will absorb chemicals from cream-based sunblocks that can be systemic (entering the bloodstream). Also, some adults are allergic to commonly used chemical blocks in over-the-counter sunscreen cream.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Pure mineral powders don’t release any irritating ingredients, because they’re the most natural block available in nature (zinc, and titanium dioxide).

Bad Excuse #4: Allergies and Acne
Most sunscreens are greasy and clog pores, especially from sweating in the sun! And it is widely recognized that acne-prone skin can’t handle the double dose of chemicals and pore-clogging creams.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Since this SPF is a mineral powder it is extremely lightweight, yet powerful for a barely-there feel that provides the safest, non-irritating, instant UVA and UVB sun protection. This also means that you can “forget” about grease! Sunforgettable won’t cause breakouts or irritations.

Jan Marini Tapped Into the Fountain of Youth with Regeneration Booster – Anti-Aging Powerhouse!

By

Most people don’t speak skincare.  When researching options, ingredients become a blur of words we can’t pronounce and percentages that never seem to break .1%.  However, it is absolutely essential that we do understand what we are putting on our skin and why.

Jan Marini Skin Research combines the latest and greatest technology with tried and true methods to create products that actually work.  One of their most notable forays into cellular technology led to the creation of a cutting-edge new product: Age Intervention Regeneration Booster. For those too sensitive to retinol, this serum offers the ideal solution for skin regeneration and rejuvenation.

An incredible innovation by Jan Marini Skin Research was the incorporation into her products of TGF Beta 1, one of many growth factors, collectively referred to as cytokines, which help maintain skin’s youthful appearance. The Transformation line of products incorporate this growth factor for maximum transformative power. Additionally, our favorite Regeneration Booster incorporates this growth factor along with keratinocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor and Cycloastrogenol.

This patented formulation combines advanced growth factors, peptides and antioxidants to hydrate skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve the appearance of texture and overall skin tone.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster is innovative in its use of advanced telomerase enzyme technology, a discovery which earned three women scientists the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.  This technology is meant to protect chromosomes from degradation, allowing for longer-lasting DNA cells. The Nobel Laureates showed that this solution can be found at the ends of chromosomes in their telomeres – long, thread-like DNA molecules that carry our genes – and in telomerase, an enzyme that forms these molecules.  If the telomeres are shortened, cells age. Conversely, if telomere activity is high, telomere length is maintained and premature cellular aging is delayed. By helping to stabilize the telomere, the technology present in this product slows down the process of skin aging.

Age Intervention Regeneration Booster combines telomerase enzyme with anti-inflammatory agents, peptides, and other skin-enhancing ingredients, enabling the skin to appear dramatically younger and aiding in the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, firmness, discoloration, elasticity, texture, and overall skin health.

Home care after your peels in the form of Retinol and Regeneration Booster work synergistically with the peel’s activity to significantly improve the appearance of the skin. You’ll never forget it’s “Peel Season”, with BOOSTER your new partner in keeping those telomeres youthful!

Rejuvenate and Protect

By

Spring brings feelings of renewal and rejuvenation, and what better time than now to add a little spring in your step with glowing skin!  The powerful combination of vitamin c and sunscreen for the ultimate in antioxidant protection, will have you looking refreshed, even after the clocks spring forward! Jan Marini’s Rejuvenate and Protect will protect your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with our ultra-wearable SPF and antioxidant rich vitamin C. Includes C-ESTA Serum and a choice of Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF33 or Marini Physical Protectant Tinted SPF 45.

The antioxidant properties of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health. Dietary and topicalascorbic acid have beneficial effects on skin cells, and some studies have shown that vitamin C may help prevent and treat ultraviolet (UV)-induced damage.

This is not the only innovation by Jan–you’ve heard us brag about the C-Esta line enough to know that. C-Esta products utilize the power of Vitamin C and Jan Marini Skin Research was the first to introduce Vitamin C with a neurotransmitter factor into the skin care market.

“Liquid gold”- how many of my clients refer to Jan Marini’s amazing C-Esta Serum as it fights free radical damage and adds brilliance to the skin while firming slackening tissue.

C-ESTA products are  non-comedogenic, powerful antioxidant formulas that will show quick improvements in the skin’s surface by appearing smoother, firmer and tighter.  Your skin will look more even-toned and younger while protected by the sun’s harsh rays when using these products

 

 

C-Esta Face Serum:

Great for all skin types, C-ESTA Serum is a powerful antioxidant cocktail, featuring Vitamin C and DMAE, shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and uneven skin texture. Preferred by subjects in a blinded split-face study vs. a leading Vitamin C solution, C-ESTA Serum is the preferred Vitamin C and antioxidant solution for younger, healthier looking skin.

Do you know what hyaluronic acid can do for you?

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

 

Hyaluronic acid comes naturally

We love talking about Hyaluronic acid (HA)! It’s a substance that is naturally present in the human body. I’ll spare you all the scientific dialogue and give you the good stuff so, you can see why we love this ingredient so much. First off, know what skin type you have so you know what skin care product will work best for you.

Hyaluronic acid supports many important areas of the body: hair, nerves, skin, eyes and most notably lubrication of joints . Youthful skin abounds with hyaluronic acid so, it makes sense that this wonder ingredient is used in products to promote moisture and create fullness. Hyaluronic acid is also a “smart nutrient” as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity—relative to the season and the climate. In skin care, you can find hyaluronic acid creams, serums, injectables, and hyaluronic acid supplements.

Hyaluronic acid benefits

Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in skin health with its unique ability to hold in moisture (1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid) and 50% of it is found in our skin tissue. The bad news…is there any good news in aging? … As we age our production of HA lessens, skin moisture can drop significantly, which makes the skin lose elasticity, sag, wrinkle, and increase dryness.

So, it makes complete sense why it is used as a dermal filler, as in Restylane and Juvederm but, there are quality products with hyaluronic acid that give an extra boost of hydration, moisture and restore the skins elasticity with each application, preserving the skins youthfulness, making lines less noticeable and giving skin a rejuvenated feeling.

We carry some of the best hyaluronic acid products on the market and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Hyperpigmentation: How to Diminish Dark Spots

By

So your understanding of why dark pigment areas appear after years of clear skin is- shall we say- spotty? Read about what causes them, what active ingredients actually diminish them, and what products contain them, below. OR- consult with your esthetician to determine the best plan of attack without heading for laser or other invasive, expensive, and temporary medical options.

The term “dark spots” is a generic description for multiple forms of hyperpigmentation including sun damage, age spots, melasma, discoloration, uneven tone and more. Hyperpigmentation is caused by a variety of factors, but is typically a result of cumulative sun exposure, environmental stressors and hormones –making it a challenge that nearly everyone faces as they age. The appearance of dark spots is also associated with aging, in fact,studies have shown that the degree of hyperpigmentation is directly linked to a person’s perceived age, even in the absence of wrinkles.

Despite being one of, if not the most common signs of aging, hyperpigmentation is one of the most difficult conditions to address and can take months to show improvement. Improvement requires addressing current concerns with proper home care and  may also require treatments including peels . Preventing future dark spots into the future requires a combination of sun protection and use of a proper home care regimen with proven topical products.

Hyperpigmentation is defined as any abnormal increase in genetically programmed skin pigmentation. Many factors can contribute to changes in skin color or uneven pigmented patches. These include: UV light (did you know that even fluorescent office lights can be a source of UV exposure?), chemicals, genetics, age, local infection, hormones, drugs, and acne. We can now add to the list the harmful effects of Blue Light (watch that screen time!)

Common hyperpigmentation concerns are usually focused on solar lentigo (areas of discoloration from sun exposure).  Areas most affected are the face, the decolleté ( literally translated as the “uncollared area”) and the back of the hands. How many of us remember to reapply sunscreen every 80 minutes? Do you apply it daily to the back of your hands which receive constant exposure while you drive?

Melasma, another form of abnormal coloration, is characterized by blotchy brown hyperpigmented patches that have an irregular shape and may be distributed over the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and neck. Frequently, this condition occurs during pregnancy, at menopause,  and in those taking hormones or oral contraceptives. It can also rarely occur in men. Sun exposure and certain topical or oral medications can worsen the appearance of the discolored areas dramatically. Melasma can affect either the epidermal (superficial) layers of the skin, the dermal (deep) layers of the skin, or both. The distinction, visible through a Woods Lamp, is important because epidermal pigmentation may respond well to being lessened or resolved with topical agents while dermal pigmentation may need to be addressed more aggressively.

It is a fact that pigment plays a role in protecting the skin from damage caused by ultra-violet light (sun exposure). Recent studies indicate that this protective action is due to melanin’s ability to act as a potent free radical scavenger. Apparently, free radicals that are triggered through sun exposure are neutralized by melanin which in turn aids in preventing cellular DNA damage. However, continuous UV exposure (without protection) creates a cycle of pigment production at the dermal (deeper skin) level, causing inflammation, melanocyte activation, melanin synthesis, and melanin transfer.  The result, in plain terms, is uneven, blotchy skin tone, detracting from the overall clarity and youthful even tone of your skin.

Non-Prescription (non-Hydroquinine) Product Solutions

Glycolic Acid : SOTHYS GLYSALAC Dermobooster and JAN MARINI BIOCLEAR LOTION OR CREAM

Starting at the most basic level, medical studies indicate that glycolic acid assists in resolving hyperpigmentation by breaking down the cellular bonds of the dead layers (stratum corneum), causing a lifting of over-pigmented areas.It is also proven to act as a delivery “carrier” for other topical products and medications, thus enhancing the effects of lightening agents. It can be found in Jan Marini’s Bioclear Lotion and Cream (which are both comprised of 12% glycolic, 2% salicylic and 2% azeleic acids) applied as Step 3 of the Skin Care Management System. I recommend SOTHYS’ Glysalac Acid Dermobooster as a gentler, but still very effective option for epidermal exfoliation.

Alpha Arbutin, Hexylresorcinol and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Extract (Licorice Root)  JAN MARINI LUMINATE FACE LOTION

LUMINATE FACE LOTION i- this dynamic alpha-arbutin face cream combines concentrated all-trans-retinol with advanced NON-hydroquinone technologies to lighten the appearance of discoloration and reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles – helping to restore your skin’s youthful complexion. It is a powerful cocktail of the following safe ingrediients for skin lightening: 

Extracted from plants such as bearberries, blueberries, and cranberries, alpha arbutin is a safe skin brightening ingredient which helps to fade scars and pigmentation left behind by breakouts and sun damage. According to LA Dermatologist Michael LIN: “Arbutin is a molecule extracted from the bearberry plant that prevents the formation of melanin,” Lin explains. He compares arbutin to two other gentle brighteners: kojic acid (derived from mushrooms) and licorice root (derived from the licorice plant). “[They] are derived from different natural ingredients, but they all function as tyrosinase inhibitors to provide skin lightening and brightening effects,” he says. Basically, brown spots come from pigments that are produced in cells called melanocytes, which contain enzymes called tyrosinase. They can activate anytime they come in contact with UV light, which is why you’ll notice freckles and sun spots starting to develop if you spend too much time in the sun.3 That’s when arbutin comes in—it blocks tyrosinase and keeps dark spots at bay.”

Hexylresorcinol has long been recognized as a highly effective, non-toxic lightening agent has been shown to have efficacy comparable to or greater than 4% hydroquinone. It is a powerful tyrosinase inhibitor, exceptional at addressing overly pigmented areas and brightening overall skin tone. So safe, this ingredient has been used in cough drops!

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) has been used  for medicinal purposes for centuries, and is the source of licorice extract used topically for skin. It’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects have been proven to help fade dark spots.  It is most importantly a much safer alternative to hydroquinone, previously thought  to be the gold-standard brightening ingredient, though banned in many countries for its unwanted side effects and even potential safety concerns.
