I was reading some of the other big eye cream portals and I noticed I’m a little behind the eight ball on a new product that came out recently.  So, I placed an order for the Dark Circle Serum by Wrinkle System.  I should have the product within 3-5 business days, according to the makers, and I will post a full eye cream review once I start using the product.  I’m anxious to see what happens to my dark circles, because I read that this eye cream was used by a makeup artist who caters to celebrities named Danica Jardien.  There are also a number of clinical studies references on the WrinkleSystem website, so I’m hoping that I see similar results.

So I figured I’d clear the air on why I’m so high on eye creams and endorse their usage as part of an anti aging skin care routine.  For starters, skin care has evolved into a much more proactive industry, and if you speak to a dermatologist, they will most likely tell you that it’s suggested that you visit them on a bi-annual basis.  While you may snicker and think, “well that is how they make money,” you do have good reason, but when you think of the small cost and potential life-saving check-ups that you can really benefit from, it does make sense.  A dermatologist can find the “bad stuff” in your skin, detect potential tumors, and basically consult and coach you to long-term skin success.  With healthy skin being such a hard topic for a lot of people to grip and really control, it’s always nice hearing just exactly what you should be doing – from a professional.

Back to the topic of eye creams, the obvious answer as to why you should use an eye cream daily is to look younger and promote healthy skin.  While many people just let out the obvious “DUH” I figured it’s best to talk about what exactly an eye cream can do you for you.

1.  Get rid of puffy eyes.

*This skin deficiency makes us look like we had an allergic reacti0n, and is quite bothersome.

2.  Visibly reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles.

*Dark circles form from too many toxins in the body, lack of sleep, genetics, and unhealthy eating habits. In some cases they can be caused by prescription medicines.

3.  Reduce eye bags and “sagging eyes.”

*Nobody wants to look like Droopy, the famous cartoon character.  Eye bags make you look dull, uninterested, and tired.

4.  Increase collagen production in the area of skin under the eyes.

*Collagen production ceases as we grow older.  It’s important to enhance it’s generation, as it’s vital to having youthful looking skin.

5.  Conceal eye wrinkles or “crows feet” as they are commonly referred to.

*Eye wrinkles or “crows feet” are perhaps the most visible, noticeable wrinkles that form.  Eye wrinkles are a form of aging that we can’t avoid, as facial expressions repeated over the years happen routinely on a daily basis around the eyes.

Of course, there are other reasons you can use an eye cream, and they range from simple (source of hydration, protection) to complex (to stimulate collagen renewal and penetrate the skin’s dermis.)  However, the above reasons are the main ones.  If you find a product geared to attack just one of these reasons, and there is clinical testing that backs up it’s claims, it’s worth a solid look.  Just look at the Dark Circle Serum by Wrinkle System.  This product may not conceal eye wrinkles, but it’s carved out a great niche by just addressing to skin nuances:  dark circles and puffiness.  Dark circles are almost chronic in some peoples experiences, and they probably agree life would be much easier without them.  Perhaps these people should give this product a try, as it truly does work.

Other products may be promoted to “plump and thicken” the skin, and these eye products serve a purpose as well.  The skin under the eyes is the most delicate on the human body, followed by the skin on the neck, which is another reason that neck firming creams are in such high demand.  Nobody wants to have what they call “turkey neck.”
