You probably know that eye cream can work wonders on everything that can go wrong in that area, whether it's crow's feet, fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles or puffiness. But if you're not putting it on the right way, you might not be getting all of the benefits. In fact, you could be creating more problems! For example, have you ever woken up with puffy eyes after applying your nightly cream?
Luckily, there are a few simple tips that can help you get the most out of your products. First of all, try storing the container in the fridge. Keeping it cool can help de-puff your under-eye areas right away, and it feels wonderful smoothing it on after a long, rough day.
Next, be sure to apply the cream with your ring finger. This finger is the weakest, so it's best for using on the delicate skin around your eyes, since the light touch won't pull on your skin.
Finally, The Beauty Department recommends putting a product like Exuviance – Hydrating Eye Complex about ½ inch above your upper lash lines and the same distance away from your lower lash lines. The cream will sink in and travel a bit over time, so if you apply it too close to your eyes, it could end up in them, resulting in that dreaded puffiness!

Three indispensable beauty tricks for winter
Wednesday, November 14th, 2012
From penetrating blasts of cold air to frigid nights that rob your complexion of all its moisture, the winter season can be brutal on skin. While you likely know to bundle up with warm sweaters and coats when you leave the house, you may not be so sure how to lend some protection to your complexion. Consider these three great beauty tricks to arm you skin for the coldest days of the year!
1. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Did we happen to mention, moisturize? During the winter, your skin can get so dry and flaky, it can feel like parchment beneath your fingertips. With a product like BORGHESE – Crema Ristorativo – 24 Continuous Hydration Moisturizer, you can hydrate your complexion and restore its natural radiance.
2. Be shower-savvy. On nights when the wind is whipping around your apartment, all you probably want to do is take a long, hot bath or shower. This is a major beauty faux pas and can break down the defenses that keep your skin cells intact. Instead, take brief showers and baths and be sure to moisturize as soon as you get out of the water.
3. Exfoliate – but be gentle. Whether you have normal or oily skin, a mild exfoliant like G.M. COLLIN – Oxygen PURACTIVE Mask can detoxify skin and slough away harmful pollutants that continue to accumulate on the surface, while also hydrating your complexion, making it one of the best-kept winter beauty secrets around.
Are you rushing through your skincare regimen?
Monday, November 12th, 2012
When it comes to morning rituals, most women have to hustle to get everything done. From showering to blow-drying and straightening those stubborn locks, it can be tough just trying to look your best each day, but a labor of love well spent when it counts.
Unfortunately, all that rushing around can have a negative impact on the quality of your routine. According to Glamour magazine’s beauty blog, speeding through a skincare regimen is one of the biggest – and most common – beauty faux pas around!
For starters, you should give yourself plenty of quality time with moisturizers like PRIORI – Advanced AHA Skin Renewal Cream. Give your skin a chance to absorb all the great nutrients of this potent blend by dabbing a quarter-size amount in both hands and working it over both your face and neck.
Once you’re through, a creamy, soap-free exfoliant like Exuviance – Age Reverse BioActiv Wash can be a terrific way to jumpstart your day and rid your complexion of harmful pollutants that can pile up on the surface of skin, even while you’re sleeping.
You may have to wake up a little early to get this extended beauty ritual underway, but you’ll be more than happy once you get a look at the results!
Can lip balms actually dry out your pucker?
Monday, November 12th, 2012
It's kind of an urban beauty myth, but one we can't help but shudder to think about – can wearing too much lip balm during the winter months actually dry out your pucker?
While balms like Dermalogica – Climate Control Lip Treatment can nourish your smacker and provide relief to chapped lips throughout the chilliest days of the year, some people suggest that the cooling ingredients found in certain glosses and balms can actually trigger a full-blown dependency!
As legend has it, women who stop using balms after consistently wearing them can begin to suffer from terrible dry and parched lips, but according to Allure's Beauty Blog, this couldn't be farther from the truth!
"ChapSticks and lip hydrators have waxes or emollients in them to create a barrier to keep lips hydrated," Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D., co-director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C., told the news source. This, in turn, makes it next to impossible for lips to dry out after using balms.
If you're concerned about your skin staying hydrated throughout the cold season, try packing along L'Occitane – Shea Orchard Daily Duo Vineyard Rose, which is a great, on-the-go resource that can leave your hands and lips feeling replenished.
Prepare for the holidays – with hand soap
Friday, November 9th, 2012
The holidays are a great time for reconnecting with family members, especially those that live far away. While some may be planning to camp out in a luxurious hotel or resort for the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, others may be headed straight for your guest room.
You may be rushing to fluff up the pillows in your guest room and dust off your finest china for the holidays, but if you really want to make a lasting impression on your guests and make them feel cozy in the process, there's only one great way to do it – by stocking up on hand soap.
Depending on how many bathrooms you have in your home, you can explore a variety of fantastic soaps that are sure to captivate your guests.
Looking for a subtle yet intoxicating scent that will linger on your hands for the rest of the day? With Caswell-Massey – English Lavender Liquid Soap and Hand Lotion Caddy you can capture the freshness of blooming lavender fields and provide vital, antibacterial protection to your hands.
Known for its amazing shea butter lotion, L'Occitane also offers an amazing array of moisturizing soaps that are perfect for everyday use. L'Occitane – Fleur Cherie Flowers Soap (Set of 2) is fragrant with sweet and soft floral notes that can leave hands replenished and clean.
Can looking old impact your heart’s health?
Wednesday, November 7th, 2012
Wrinkles, puffy eyes and other signs of aging can have a lousy effect on your social life, but did you know that they can also indicate cardiovascular health issues?
In a recent study by the University of Copenhagen, researchers found that people with certain signs of aging, like fatty deposits around the eyelids and creased earlobes, were 39 percent more likely to develop heart disease and 57 percent more likely to have a heart attack, HealthDay News reported.
While the study spanned 35 years and the results could vary depending on lifestyle and hereditary factors, these findings could have significant consequences.
If you've been carrying a little baggage under your eyes, give your peepers the boost they need with Sothys – Active Contour Age-Defying Cream (Eyes). Just a small amount of this potent cream each morning can reinvigorate your eyes.
In addition, you might be on the lookout for an all-purpose anti-aging moisturizer to protect your complexion daily. With Exuviance – Multi-Protective Day Creme SPF15 you'll be on your way to firmer, younger skin before you know it!
Sink your teeth into Kristen Stewart’s vampy style
Tuesday, November 6th, 2012
Kristen Stewart is known for her vampy style both on and off the silver screen, but when it comes to recreating the enigmatic "Twilight" star's sensational look, it can be difficult to figure out where to start.
Stewart, who has also appeared in blockbusters like "Snow White and The Huntsman" and "The Runways," arrived at the Hollywood, California, screening for "On the Road" in a clever, eye-catching ensemble. But what really turned heads were her bold red lips and smooth, blemish-free complexion!
If you want to capture some of Stewart's sultry appeal – not to mention a certain tall, dark and handsome hottie – start by using a rich, shea butter-infused lipstick in a deep burgundy shade. This will add a vivid burst of juicy color to your smacker and give him something he can really sink his lips into.
For flawless and spot-free skin like Stewart, you'll need a lightweight, tint-free moisturizer that can brighten up your complexion daily. Blends that feature UV protection are a terrific choice, especially for creatures of the night like you and your hunk!
Would you take a DNA test to determine your skin’s needs?
Friday, November 2nd, 2012
Men and women do a lot to keep their skin looking youthful, glowing and clear. From cleansers to moisturizers to retinol treatments, there’s pretty much nothing that people won’t try doing to achieve a flawless complexion. But would you shell out almost $500 for a DNA test to determine exactly which products your skin needs?
According to the London Evening Standard, one English beauty salon has developed a 30-minute saliva test that uses gene technology to determine which active ingredients in skin products would be most beneficial to your skin. This knowledge would allow you to customize a skincare regimen that addresses all of your complexion’s needs, most likely leaving you with encouraging results.
It’s a lot of money, but it may be worth it to see exactly what your skin craves as far as products are concerned. The developer of the test has plans to launch it globally next year, so until then you’ll have to continue to experiment to determine which skincare products are best for your skin type and lifestyle.
Luckily, there are plenty of collections and lines that cater to multiple skin types, so you can see results no matter how oily, dry or sensitive your complexion may be. Dermalogica is just one example of a company that has products for every kind of skin.

If you're not the type to enjoy jumping out of your covers earlier just to get a head start on your hair and makeup, consider these quick and easy tips that are sure to give you a successful start to the day.
Plan ahead. If you've got a big day in the works, why wait until morning to get started on your beauty routine?

Also try sorting your essential beauty products into easily accessible piles.
