Replenish Eyes Overnight

Posted: 1/7/2012

Proper eye care overnight can help prevent signs of under-eye aging.

(NAPSI)—Before you close your eyes at night, you may want to be extra kind to the delicate skin that surrounds them.

Because it’s thinner than the rest of the face with especially fragile blood vessels, this area may be the first to show signs of aging.

A nightly skin care routine can help prevent these signs because night is when skin most actively repairs itself from daily damage.

“Eye treatments high in anti-inflammatory properties and replenishing lipids are essential to maintain healthier and younger- looking under-eye skin,” said Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s consulting dermatologist, and founder of Tribeca Park Dermatology in New York City.

To help prevent signs of under-eye aging, the skin care company Kiehl’s Since 1851 has created Midnight Recovery Eye. The paraben-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, mineral oil−free product is designed to address puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles overnight.Ê This non-migrating cream-to-oil texture combines a blend of essential and botanical oils—squalane, evening primrose and lavender, proven to rebalance hydration levels—with the naturally derived extract Butcher’s Broom. This rare ingredient is known to improve blood circulation, strengthen fragile capillary walls and reduce puffiness under the eyes. For more information, visit www.Kiehls.com.
