There's a Fix for Everything Wrong w/Yours Eyes

Clearly, we can all stand to use more sleep! In fact, many of us do not get the recommended 8 hours of sleep every night. Even if it is on our new years resolution list... EVERY YEAR!!!

So, in the meantime, the experts at naturalorganicbody.com got together to find products that could give people the edge they need to look more awake. These are helpful hints that, literally, anyone can follow to get the desired look they need. 

Minimize Puffiness

Puffy eyes usually cause a bit of anxiety for people as the cause can be related to not enough sleep, or allergies and people around you can see it. So, for whatever reason for the puffiness, try a quick morning massage around your eye area. It's best to use an eye cream that's specifically made to be used on the delicate skin around your eyes. Naturalorganicbody has many eye creams to chose from like 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean - Caffeine Eye Cream  It's suggested you massage the skin for a few minutes. That can help to flush the excess fluid in your lids down through your lymphatic system and out your body.

Hide Dark Circles

When dark circles are prevalent on a persons face... it's automatically assumed they didn't get a good nights sleep, even if the opposite is true. Dark circles are caused by broken capillaries and blood vessels. And being tired makes them more obvious. So gently pat - don't rub the area when trying to conceal them with makeup. creamy Fruit Pigmented Brightening Concealer in a shade that matches or is slightly lighter than your skin tone to hide dark circles. Dust powder over the concealer to help it last all day.

Brighten Eyes

Apply a light shimmery cream eye shadow like
Star Satin Eyeshadow to the center of the eyelids and also apply onto your brow bones & cheekbones.

Highlighting those areas helps to brighten your look.

Open Eyes

A foolproof way to open and brighten up your look is to curl your lashes and then apply two coats of
Fruit Pigmented Mascara in Black Tea to look instantly more alert!

How Important is What/When You Do.... to Your Skin???

A Day & Night Skin Routine... 

During the Day

Need a hot shower to start the day? That's a good start, because the steam of a morning shower will open your pores and allow your cleanser to work better. 

Don’t use the same soap you do at night though. Your skin isn't as ‘dirty’ in the morning as it is at the end of the day. So, if you use the same routine in the morning, you run the risk of stripping essential oils from your skin. Choose a gentle clarifying cleanser like Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Creamy Face Cleanser for your a.m. washes—if your skin feels uncomfortable and tight afterward, your cleanser is still too strong.

Dark under-eye circles can make you look tired. Deal with them by applying an eye gel or cream containing caffeine 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean - Caffeine Eye Cream. Blood in the capillaries can pool under the eyes and cause the shadowy look, but products with caffeine can make a huge difference in the microcirculation around the eye. Also use your ring finger to apply, as it will exert the least amount of pressure and pulling on the sensitive eye area.

Because skin takes much more of a beating during the day than at night, take steps to protect it from the elements. Use a sunscreen Kiss My Face Face Factor w/SPF 30 for Face & Neck with broad-spectrum protection (to block both UVA and UVB rays) before you apply moisturizer, or look for an SPF/moisturizer combo 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer. It contains hefty antioxidants like vitamins C and E for extra fortification to fight against the barrage of free radicals you’ll face throughout the day.

During the Night 

Any evening routine must first undo the damage done throughout the day. Remove makeup first with an oil based product Aubrey Organics Herbessence Makeup Remover, then Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Creamy Face Wash gets rid of remaining dirt and grime with a heavy-duty cleanser DNA Creme of Nectar Soothing Wash. Slough off dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliant like DNA Phyto-Lipid Hydrating Scrub. Exfoliants remove the top layer of skin so reparative night products can penetrate the skin more effectively. 

When choosing a nighttime moisturizer Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosquetta Night Creme W/Alpha Lipoic Acid, look for heavier creams and oils with anti-inflammatory, soothing ingredients like white tea and chamomile.

After focusing on your face, don’t forget the rest of your body. Spend a couple of extra dollars to exfoliate your entire body with a loofah to increase circulation and glow. Then apply a therapeutic hair and scalp oil before bed Aubrey Organics White Camellia Oil Soothing Emollient. Oil left in the hair or scalp for 6 to 8 hours can do stressed scalps and hair a world of good. Patients will notice softer hair and healthier scalps after shampooing oils out of their hair in the morning. 

Finally, get a good night’s sleep! The more you sleep, the more time your body has to work on creating new skin cells, so all the treatments and ingredients you feed your body can work effectively.
