Whew! Yet another long week of auditions, meetings and social obligations. Looking into the mirror, I fear it’s “Confession Time”: I’m starting to see them. You know what I’m talking about. Dark circles and those pesky little lines are starting to show up around my eyes….darn it!
In general, summer isn’t the best time for eyes anyway. When the sun is out, you just instinctively squint. But get this, I recently read that squinting at the sun can actually create deeper lines around your eyes…..I don’t usually make a habit of this, but, it’s still good to know! And on top of that, as we all know, the sun ages your skin.
So, for the past few days, I’ve been trying Own Lifting Eye Cream. It’s clinically proven to help lift, smooth and replenish sensitive skin using CLA technology. The idea is that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) boosts cell metabolism to repair and nourish the skin around your eyes and give you a more alert and rested look.
Some Key Benefits/Formula Facts:
*Triple action plant technology through Own’s propriety CLA compound (derived from the safflower plant) penetrates all three layers of the skin to aid in moisture retention, activate cell renewal and repair collagen structure
*Brightens sallow skin
*Lifts and smooths fine lines
So far, I really like it! It has a nice light feel, absorbs quickly and works well under makeup. And I do think the skin around my eyes seems a bit more supple and hydrated. Apparently, this CLA stuff even has better results than retinol in clinical tests. Sounds good to me, so I think I’ll keep using it and see!
Own Lifting Eye Cream retails for $24 and is available at Duane Reade and Whole Foods and at www.ownproducts.com.
