Recently i came upon a blog reviewing an Eye Balm. The intro is like :
".... with age the wrinkles get worse, you know you have a problem when your under eyes is dry and wrinkled. I used just about everything in my kitchen to keep my delicate under eyes moisturize but even that is not enough....
The writer then proceeds to describe a well know product, that resembles vaseline but it's not [?] .... it will de-puff, moisturize, soothe, improve the wrinkles, protect, erase dark circles, give an intense shot of good moisture, it kinda sits around and moisturize all through the night as i sleep. My lines disappear, making me look younger and flawless in the morning, the product is a little tacky, i do not mind, but some people might gross out after use as it never fully absorbs...."
That was enough to get a reaction out of me. What a blatant ignorant endorsement !!!!
When a product sits for hours on your skin it is OCCLUSIVE the skin cannot breath.
There is room for that in the medical field, not in cosmetic treatments.
What happens then, when there is over usage of occlusive cosmetics ?
Over a period of time, occlusive cosmetic products accelerate the aging process of the skin.
The skin will compensate by pumping moisture to the surface of the skin from deeper epidermis depleting moisture storage therefore accelerating the dehydration, formation of wrinkles, dryness, sagging, in few words premature aging of the skin.
At first it looks good all the moisture filling up, damage will not happen over night, the skin will overwork and finally give up, 10 years later it's a disaster.
By then, the damage is done. A very costly repair.
If sleeping well, being rested, having a normal natural life doesn't take care of the dark circles, nothing else WILL, only make up will do the trick.
Actually, nothing should be put under the soft tissue of the eyes.
A plastic Surgeon told me once, in Los Angeles, how he removes peas size of p..c. products that had filtered into the eye socket when he opens and operates in the eye area. Yuck!
Hope you find the article instructive.

THE NEED FOR A CHANGE
It all started because of the need for change ....
If at first an idea is not absurd then there is no hope for it. Albert Einstein
If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.
Skin's functions are precise and vital, thus the importance of correct formulations to be in tune with the skin's performance to enhance and not burden.
Basically my formulations focus on Results not products nor protocols.
The formulations are fresh, aroma cosmetics, mini doses, maxi effect, active formulation inspired by Nature, taken from Earth.
Skin an brain communicate in an intimate way through the nervous system connection.
Application of a natural aroma-cosmetic product stimulates emotion and touch sensation.
The sensation of neurocosmetic pleasure brings joy to the psych and comfort to the body.
The infinite Grandeur of Nature offers many splendors to our senses, health and beauty.

WHY DO THE SKIN AGE ?
We all would like to keep our young looks forever, but it is inevitable we will age.
With time, cells renewal turnover slows down, the epidermis thickens because of dead cells accumulation, collagen fibers deteriorate in the dermis, the oil and sweat glands atrophy, slowing down the hydration process, gravity pulls soft tissues down, the skin starts wrinkling and relax.
The principal characteristics of an aging skin is mainly caused by Photo-Aging because of exposure to UVA/UVB's radiation, rather than normal aging.
The proof is that it affects mainly the face and hands, superficial and deep oxidation damages.
Unfortunately the negative impact of sun rays are accumulated since infancy.
If a dry skin affect people of every age, which is treatable, the aging or damages of the skin are also characterized by the following manifestations :
- wrinkles
- dark brown spots that get thicker, could become cancerous
- great susceptibility to bruising especially on hands and forearms.
It is never too late to get started in skin care maintenance to avoid further damages to the skin condition.
For example, when you're 70 years of age you'll be glad to have started as late as your 50ies.
Preventive skin care could and would make you look a good 10 years younger.
Later years, associated with some minors plastic surgery [sagging] it's a wrap!

If a dry skin affect people of every age, which is treatable, the aging or damages of the skin are also characterized by the following manifestations :
- wrinkles
- relaxed skin
- brown spots, freckles like, not dangerous but need monitoring- dark brown spots that get thicker, could become cancerous
- great susceptibility to bruising especially on hands and forearms.
I do know ways to slow down the aging process but it is impossible to stop it, so the sooner you start a serious skin care the longer your skin will retain a healthy, youthful appearance.
