Eye Cream of the Month: Juara Sweet Black Tea Eye Creme

In order to bring you the latest and greatest news of new or newly rediscovered eye cream products, we’ll be featuring a different eye cream each month with an in-depth eye cream review. Find new favorites or learn more about old standbys every month at eyecreamreview.com.

Juara‘s Sweet Black Tea Eye Creme is a fragrance-free under eye cream that’s both hydrating and refreshing. Its lightweight yet soothing texture sinks into the skin to provide immediate comfort, leaving the skin with a supple and smooth feel that’s perfectly prepped for makeup application. It also softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to supply the eye area with a more youthful appearance.

Sweet Black Tea Eye Creme is formulated with a slew of botanicals, including nourishing and moisturizing avocado oil and illipe butter. Fermented sweet black tea, also known as Kombucha, tightens and smoothes the skin while rice bran oil and vitamin E improve elasticity and condition the skin. These fabulous ingredients make Sweet Black Tea Eye Creme a perfect choice for those who prefer a more natural skin care eye cream.

This silky cream also helps to protect the skin against environmental damage, including age-accelerating free radicals. These anti-aging actions make Sweet Black Tea Eye Creme suitable for both mature and younger complexions, as it can heal and prevent visible signs of aging.

The 411 on Broken Capillaries

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

The delicate eye area is prone to many conditions, including broken capillaries, also known as “spider veins”. Capillaries are part of microcirculation and enable the exchange of water, oxygen, waste chemicals and more. Capillaries break by narrowing and widening too quickly. When they break, blood is allowed to seep out, creating a slim, red line visible on the skin’s surface. Some broken capillaries must be treated by a dermatologist; however, most broken capillaries can be reduced using a specially formulated body cream, face cream or eye cream.

Broken capillaries tend to appear on the cheeks, nose and under eye area, as well as other areas of the body. Because the skin under and around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of our skin, it provides the least protection against capillary damage. Many under eye creams contain ingredients that help heal or prevent broken capillaries, including vitamin K, vitamin C and chamomile extract. These ingredients also treat other common eye area concerns, including dark circles, signs of fatigue, visible signs of aging and puffiness. For this reason, eye creams for dark circles or anti aging eye creams often make great treatments for broken capillaries.

In addition to topical treatment, broken capillaries can be helped by drinking chamomile tea or taking vitamin C and Lysine internally. As always, be sure to consult your doctor before adding new supplements to your diet to ensure safe and healthy use.

The Difference Between Day and Night

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Finding the best eye cream is at the top of almost everyone’s to-do list. We all want an all-in-one, multi-tasking miracle product that will cure our dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, bags and signs of fatigue while moisturizing and protecting against future damage. Unfortunately, eye creams that pose as the savior of your under eye area are rarely what they claim to be. That’s why it’s so important to choose a day eye cream and a night eye cream.

While having two eye creams may seem a bit excessive, it’s actually the opposite. Think of it this way: does washing your face only in the morning keep your face clean for 24 hours? Does eating one meal in the evening give you energy and keep you full for an entire day? Does applying an SPF on your eyes before you go to bed keep your skin protected the next day? Of course not! Along those same lines, using only one eye cream in the morning or evening won’t give your delicate eye area the protection and attention that it needs.

Day Eye Cream
Your day eye cream product should protect, moisturize and brighten your eye area. It’s also a good idea to choose an under eye cream that creates a smooth base for makeup products in order to ensure a natural-looking finish. Look for an eye cream with a good SPF rating (SPF 15 or higher) and a texture that feels comfortable on your skin type.

Night Eye Cream
While we sleep, our bodies work overtime to make repairs. Therefore, your night eye cream should cash in on this repairative time by offering nutrients, scientifically advanced anti-aging actions and extra moisture. It’s great to choose an under eye cream formulation that will condition the skin, replace lost elastin and collagen and help smooth away visible signs of aging.
