My Skincare Secret Weapon: Eye Cream

By Loren Ridinger

Want to know my secret for looking rested, even when I barely have a chance to sleep (which is often)? Moisture rich eye cream! As we age, the skin around the eye can darken, sag and wrinkle so it’s important to pamper this delicate area. Taking care of the sensitive skin around your eyes with a moisture rich eye cream that supports firmness and elasticity can take years off your look, so be diligent about daily application for the best results.
If you’re in the market for moisture rich eye cream, check out my favorites below. They are always in my bathroom cabinet!

5 Tips for Healthy Skin

It’s time to go beyond the physical regimen of wash, moisturize and tone and consider other factors that contribute to glowing, gorgeous skin.

5 Tips for  Healthy Skin

• Wear Sunscreen: You may think sunscreen is only necessary when tanning on the beach or lounging by the pool, but even in the winter months the sun’s rays can still be damaging to your skin. A heavy sunscreen may not be necessary but make sure to use a moisturizer containing at least SPF 15 everyday.

• Follow a Healthy Diet: What you put on the outside is just as important as what we put inside. Eating a diet that is filled with Omega 3s, Whole Grains, and B Vitamins is essential to maintaining your skin’s youthful glow.

• Stay Hydrated: There are a million different reasons to drink water but staying hydrated to help your skin may not be an obvious one. Drinking the recommended 8 ounces of water a day helps flush out toxins in your system, which in turn helps get rid of unwanted acne and blemishes. If you’re looking to add a little kick to your water, try naturally flavored water like HINT containing zero calories, zero sugar and no artificial flavors or preservatives.

• Keep Moisturizing: Having healthy skin doesn’t only mean having a blemish-free face, make sure you aren’t neglecting the rest of your body. Every morning after you shower and at night before bed you should be applying moisturizer to your entire body to keep skin hydrated. Also, it won’t hurt to keep a bottle of lotion in your bag or on your desk at work for moisturizing your hands throughout the day.

• Beauty Sleep: Last but not least, you need to get 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. This will help keep off dark circles, puffy eyes, and keep your skin looking fresh and relaxed.
