This week's Extra Roadtest is all about the eyes. Nurse Jamie -- Extra Lifechanger and Aesthetics Nurse Specialist takes a look at instant wrinkle erasing creams These are products that provide immediate - temporary results -- at the same time contain longer lasting benefits.
The skin around the eyes is often one of the first places to show your age. This is because this area is full of muscles that are in constant motion, add sun damage -- smoking -- genetics - plus the fact that the skin around the eyes doesn't produce the same natural lubrication as the glands in the rest of the face.
At the Med spa those 'crow's feet' are tackled with a lasers and paralytics.
The paralytics -- either Botox or Dysport - work by relaxing the underlying muscles,
Lasers resurface the skin -- taking away those fine lines. Instant wrinkle creams work by tightening the skin -- filling the lines and smoothing them over -- or a combination of both.
Do it Yourself -
So if you want an instant lift -- for next to nothing you can whip up this little recipe.
Take a few egg whites, stiffly beaten, with a drop of witch hazel and apply with a brush under the eyes to make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy.
Tap -- don't rub the delicate eye tissue -- or better yet -- use a fan brush to sort of paint the area around the eye. You can actually feel it tighten -- and it is all natural.
Take care of your eyes -
At the spa Nurse Jamie has a saying -- better to maintain than try to reclaim --
so be gentle with the delicate eye area, wear sunscreen, sunglasses - use a good moisturizer, wear sunscreen and sunglasses.
