No beauty girl will go a day without washing her face. She physically cannot sleep soundly without doing that. Does she follow the five steps of washing her face? Her yes, everyone else? Probably not. While washing and moisturizing are the anchor activities of washing up, all five steps will help promote healthy, vibrant skin. Below are excellent products to consider for the two equally important steps: toner and eye cream.
After washing, swiping the face with a mild toner will help to balance skin’s pH and pick up pesky dirt your face wash may have left behind. Taking what is amongst us in nature Alba Botanica’s Natural Even Advanced Sea Kelp Facial Toner ($10) is 100% vegetarian and had no parabens, artificial colors or other artificially produced additives. Sea kelp extracts, aloe vera and witch hazel tones skin while hydrating. Alba products can be found at Whole Foods Markets and other fine retailers. While Dr. Nicholas Perricone does not like to call his activators toner, they are used in the same respect as a toner. His Super Brightening Activator Treatment Prep ($38) is packed with antioxidants to penetrate every pore on the face. The activator helps to brighten skin with its fortified formula or carotenoids, vitamin C, licorice root and other beneficial nutrients. Super Plus by Dr. Nicolas Perricone can be found at Sephora locations.
Focusing in on the eyes is key to keeping up with a fresh, rested looking appearance. A dab of eye cream like Wei East’s Refirming Eye Treatment ($35) will tighten up bags under the eyes for a lifted rested look in the morning. The cream is quickly absorbed into the delicate skin around the eyes while delivering soy peptides and chestnut extract to lift and firm tired looking eyes. The eye treatment is available on the Wei East website. Vichy’s LiftActiv Retinol HA Eyes Total Anti-Wrinkle Renovating Care ($40) is also jam packed with nourishing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid. The acid immediately fills in wrinkles. Retinol Palmitate + Adenosine complex helps with resurfacing the delicate skin. Vichy is a trusted French brand that women have trusted for years. No longer do women have to smuggle it back into the states. They can purchase Vichy products at drugstores all over.Invest in a good toner and eye cream and the benefits to that glowing complexion will be two fold. That extra minute in your cleansing routine will take years off.
