Seaweed

Seaweed

Seaweed is full of humectants and draws water to the skin. It contains Vitamin E and amino acids that help Seaweed plump fine wrinkles.

 

Green Tea

Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [1] High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. EGCG is the potent antioxidant from green tea. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing.  [2]

Green Tea

White Tea

White tea is exceptionally gentle yet powerful. It helps even the skin tone. It is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It can reduce redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area, even if caused by light eczema. White tea also contains EGCG, which enables the production of new cells in the epidermis [3]. It also contains phenols which strengthen collagen and uniquely, elastin. This gives skin a bouncy, younger look while delaying wrinkles.

Mallow

Mallow

This natural floral extract contains Vitamins A, C, and E. It softens while being gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin. It nourishes dry and even damaged skin, restoring elasticity.

 

My EyeLight Serum experience

I use it before applying my eye cream. It is gentle but brightening. It does not sting even when my eyes are extra sensitive. It de-puffs my morning eyes but does not leave them feeling dry like some depuffing products can. My skin is smooth and dewy.

The rollerball is quick and distributes just the right amount of product. It dries down smooth, not at all tacky or sticky. Eye cream or makeup goes on top of the serum smoothly with no pilling.

Stable Waterless Vitamin C that Soothes: Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream

· 12 Comments

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream is a stable Vitamin C with a Who’s Who of skin-friendly supporting ingredients, including their own trademarked KB5™ Complex. This complex is used instead of water or fillers. This creates a potently stable yet soothing C product.  This innovative light cream hydrates like a concentrate but dries down clean and remarkably smooth.
Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream on StyleChicks.com

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream boasts an impressive array of natural, eye skin-enhancing ingredients

The Caveats of Vitamin C for Delicate Eye Skin Care

Crow’s feet, wrinkles, crepey skin and discoloration. Vitamin C can work wonders on the delicate eye area skin for targeted skin-rejuvenation.  It is an anti-aging, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse. Vitamin C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C also minimizes wrinkles and improves sun-damaged skin texture.

But… Vitamin C can also irritate sensitive eye area skin. Many people cannot tolerate daily Vitamin C around the eyes.

Fortunately, Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream contains a host of soothing, nourishing, treating and buffering ingredients that support Vitamin C efficacy as well as make daily Vitamin C use possible even on the most sensitive eye skin. This formula uses STAY-C, a stable form of Vitamin C,  activated only upon absorption. Stable C is more power with less irritation.

Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream reads like a who’s who list of amazing skin-friendly ingredients.  Let’s take a closer look.

Ingredient Profile

In addition to STAY-C Vitamin C, Kat Burki Nutrient-C Eye Cream contains an impressive formulation of natural, skin-enhancing ingredients.

KB5™ Complex: The first five herbs are individually cold-processed into essences. They create the proprietary KB5™ Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burke formulas.  There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burke product. This makes highly concentrated and pure formulations.

INGREDIENT DETAILS

Nutrient-C Eye Cream features KB5 Complex™ instead of water. It is a combination of:

  • Arnica flower is a natural anti-inflammatory. It reduces puffiness without causing dryness or dehydration around the delicate eye skin. It also decreases bruising and inflammation. Arnica promotes healing and reduces swelling.
  • Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) improves elasticity and reduces sagging. It boosts antioxidant activity, strengthenings the skin and increases blood circulation. [1]
  • Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.
  • Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin
  • Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [2]

Nutrient-C Eye Cream also contains:

  • Safflower Oil is high in Omegas 3, 6 and 9. It hydrates dry skin, soothes irritation and enhances skin texture and appearance. It delays premature aging, tightens and brightens the skin.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base. It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.
  • Aloe Leaf Juice has an enzyme that repairs skin cells, soothes and heals the skin. It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
  • Evening Primrose Oil restores a glow to the skin. It is excellent as a topical ingredient to provide moisture without clogging the skin and is helpful for eczema and acne. Supports elastin, moisture, and skin firmness. [3]
  • Jojoba Seed Oil is very similar to the composition of our natural skin oils, so skin tends to absorb Jojoba very well. Jojoba gives skin elasticity and softness. Jojoba Oil is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients. It smoothes wrinkles and fine lines without causing irritation.
  • Grape Seed Oil is nourishing to the skin and contains building blocks for collagen production. High in Polyphenols, Vitamins C, D, E and Omega 6, it treats dry skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and aging.
  • Neem Seed Oil is particularly effective on healing sun damage and restoring moisture.  It deeply penetrates the skin to enhance elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production
  • Vitamin E to soften skin and make it more pliable.
  • Caffeine reduces puffiness and inflammation. Caffeine has antioxidant properties and slows down photoaging.
  • Maris Sal (OMC-92 Ocean Mineral Complex) is “An Ocean Mineral Complex of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and a blend of 92+ nutritious ocean minerals to needed for proper skin cell function.” [4]
  • Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Leaf Extract are  anti-inflammatories suitable for highly sensitive skin
  • Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi) Extract comes from a mushroom with polysaccharides. These are responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water.  It promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.
  • Juniper Fruit Extract has both soothing and antioxidant properties.
  • Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation.
  • Horsetail Plant Extract has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. It reduces redness and soothes skin.
  • Geranium Extract makes skin glow and heals inflammatory skin conditions and topical ingredient induced irritation.[5] It also contains a fatty acid profile that promotes healthy skin cells and reduce wrinkles [6].
  • Dandelion Extract stimulates collagen production. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, it protects skin against free radical damage and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Magnesium and zinc detoxify skin, and anti-inflammatory properties calm irritation and under-eye puffiness.
  • Algae Extract is packed with skin essential vitamins and minerals.  It conditions, hydrates, softens, refines texture and detoxifies the skin.

OUR EXPERIENCE

The lack of water or fillers is evident.  The texture sinks in immediately and has the impact of a high-end serum concentrate. There are no remaining dry patches and skin just DRINKS it in.  The smallest dab of product fully hydrates and leaves skin exceptionally smooth.

This light cream with a natural lavender scent is quick to absorb and won’t cause makeup to run or pill. We find Nutrient-C Eye Cream works well under makeup or solo for a dewy-eyed, glowing skin look. Pair it with Kat Burki Absorption tool for a spa-like treat.

A tiny dot of this innovative cream absorbs quickly and leaves eye skin glowing,
fine wrinkles subdued and undereye skin soft and smooth.

I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum

· Leave a Comment

A serum that targets fine lines & wrinkles around the eyes, lips & forehead using a Peptide that is clinically proven as effective as Renova.

GOT WRINKLES?

Discovering emerging fine lines and wrinkles can be very disconcerting. Often the sign of eleven lines (the lines between the eyebrows) or smile lines send some women (and men) straight for the Botox injections. But don’t rush off just yet: a safe and effective route to wrinkle reduction is a quality serum packed with anti-aging ingredients. Wrinkles are often a result of a loss of collagen and they look even worse with dehydration or dryness. One serum we like that can tackle both of these wrinkle-causing problems is I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum.

ABOUT I.LUBLIN ANTI-WRINKLE SERUM

This serum contains natural botanical ingredients including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to nourish and improve your skin. The moisturizing formula fills in fine lines or wrinkles to reduce signs of aging, leaving skin with a beautiful glow.

Many products can temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles, but what about long-term improvement? We read about the ingredients before use to see if a product is worth using on the face. I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains several quality ingredients that together are a great team in your wrinkle reduction line-up.

 

I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum

INGREDIENTS

This I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains many ingredients found in proven, high-end anti-aging products. Amongst them are select peptides that are the over-achievers of the anti-aging ingredient arena.

PEPTIDES: The I.Lublin serum contains two Peptides that stimulate collagen production. One of them (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14) is found to be very similar to the effects of Renova. The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (Feb 2009) says that this peptide can “stimulate cell migration, collagen synthesis, and fibroblast proliferation and scaffolding.”  In regular people speak, these are all the skin functions that when underperforming due to age, cause wrinkles. According to studies comparing Renova to this peptide, the peptide was found to be “equal to or more effective than Renova® cream in regard to therapy for fine lines and wrinkles of the periorbital region.”

Renova retails for $100-$150+, which in my book, makes this serum a steal just for the inclusion of this one particular power-Peptide. Hexapeptide-14 also creates a brighter and more refined skin texture.

Other anti-aging, skin friendly ingredients in this serum include:

  • Rosehips are a highly concentrated source of Vitamin C, the primary building block in collagen production. Collagen builds the scaffolding and structure of the skin and keeps it from sagging.
  • Dead Sea Salt stimulates blood circulation and calms skin irritation and skin redness. It also contains several minerals that nourish skin.
  • Grapeseed Oil is highly nourishing to the skin, providing the necessary building blocks for collagen production.
  • Argan Oil is a trending ingredient in hair and skin care as it both softens and nourishes the skin
  • A Retinol Ester (Vitamin A) helps lighten age spots and discoloration, improves skin texture and helps reduce the darkness inside a wrinkle, so it appears less deep. Also helpful for adult acne.
  • Goji berry (Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract) is an antioxidant that softens the skin
  • Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil is a non-greasy oil high in linoleic fatty acid, and Phytosterols which are protective, aid in skin recovery and retain moisture.

APPLICATION & USE

Apply to skin after washing, while it is still slightly damp. Apply a thin layer to the skin using small circular motions to help it absorb. Focus on the eye area, the area around the lips and the forehead.

It is intended for night time use, so apply your nighttime moisturizer over the serum for best results.

RESULTS

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: My skin feels SO silky that I want to keep touching my face! Skin quickly drinks in the serum, and it fully absorbs within a few minutes and does not leave a greasy residue. My skin texture and tone looks even like I have an optical blurring filter on my skin, but it still looks like my skin, not fake. Wrinkles appear blurred. I applied a light moisturizer afterward as instructed, and my skin looked dewy. There is no stinging or irritation.

NOTE: Only a thin layer is needed, I used two pumps total for my eyes, face, and throat, and had a little left over for my collarbone

AFTER CONTINUED USE: Due to the 21-day skin cell turnover cycle, for the Peptides to do their job, they must be used daily for at least 30 days to see results. So use the serum every evening for a month to assess improvement. I did see results faster than a month, with a softening of expression lines before the actual cell turnover occurs.  I have used pricey Renova in the past, but I was particular impressed with the I.Lublin Anti-Aging Serums’ ability to tackle fine lines around the eyes and mouth area, and the softening of fine lines on the forehead. The skin around my eyes looks softer and younger now, and the wrinkles and fine lines are not so noticeable. I also find my undereye concealer is not settling into these fine lines as much, which to me, makes me think they have improved in texture and depth.

I am particularly impressed with the results around the lips/mouth area. My mouth area appears more aged than the rest of my face, showing fine lines and dryness, as well as enlarged pores and uneven texture. This area has been resistant to most anti-aging serums. Injections and fillers around the mouth can have such varied results; it is a treatment option I would prefer to avoid as long as possible. So I am very pleased to find a product that can address aging and fine lines around the lips and give a natural, younger look.

PACKAGING

The I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum has bright, colorful gift wrap with a bow. Anyone who expresses concern over wrinkles likely is searching high and low for a solution. The gift wrap makes for a great gift for a special friend who wants to safely improve the appearance of aging and wrinkles on their skin.

CONCLUSION

Before considering injections or procedures to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and lines, invest in a quality serum that can best enhance collagen production, treating existing wrinkles and preventing new ones, as well as make skin more refined and soft. I.Lublin Anti-Wrinkle Serum moisturizes skin while providing nourishment to the skin to help it become soft and supple again. It is especially effective around the eyes, lips, and forehead; it helps tackle some of the most aged skin areas of the face for a much more youthful look.

Favorite Skincare Ingredients: Sea Buckthorn Oil

· Leave a Comment

The “hostess with the mostest” of the StyleChicks Favorite Skincare Ingredients series, Sea Buckthorn Oil has over 200 nutrients to work wonders on delicate eye skin, wrinkles & stretch marks.

Sea Buckthorn Oil reduces wrinkles, fine lines and acne

WHAT SEA BUCKTHORN DOES

Sea Buckthorn Oil is an ingredient worthy of your skincare routine. With over 200 nutrients to nourish the skin, it heals skin damage including scars, burns, and abrasions. It soothes eczema and treats acne. But my favorite thing about Buckthorn Oil is it treats aging skin and sun damaged skin as if it is an injury or wound, and Buckthorn thinks it must remedy the situation immediately. I feel ya, Sea Buckthorn. So it “calls the troops” together, making repairing cells “rescue” the aging skin by working overtime building as much collagen as possible.

That makes Sea Buckthorn a great ingredient in a vitamin C serum, as C provides the building blocks for collagen while Sea Buckthorn tells the skin to make collagen. Go team!

WHAT EXACTLY IS SEA BUCKTHORN?

A.K.A. the “wonder oil,” Seaberry or Hippophae Rhamnoides, Sea Buckthorn oil is extracted from small orange berries.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is like a who’s who of nutrients including vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K, and P; carotenoids; flavonoids; amino acids; phenols; folic acid; organic acids; 20 mineral elements, and essential fatty acids. It uniquely contains all four omegas: omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9.

This cocktail of repairing nutrients is what makes Sea Buckthorn Oil so useful for general skin care and the repair of eczema, wounds, scars, stretch marks, and aging skin concerns including wrinkles and fine lines. It works wonders on the undereye area.

OTHER SEA BUCKTHORN FEATURES AND FACTS:

  • Sea Buckthorn is very gentle and ideal for the undereye area and plump wrinkles and lines upon application.
  • Organic Sea Buckthorn oil can immediately reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines because it plumps up the skin.
  • A bit about these 200 nutrients, they have a variety of skin care applications, These nutrients have a variety of skin care applications including soothing the redness of sun damage, nourishing skin, providing C and E, and serving as a super-anti-oxidant.
  • Sea Buckthorn can make clear serums (like Vitamin C) appear opaque or cloudy.
  • Sea Buckthorn also gently but effectively treats acne and fades acne scars, including stubborn adult acne

WHERE TO FIND PRODUCTS CONTAINING SEA BUCKTHORN

Sea Buckthorn is typically found in very expensive skincare product lines. We’ve located a few well-priced serums we like that contain Sea Buckthorn. They are:

End “You Look Tired” with Belli Eye Brightening Cream

· Leave a Comment

“You look tired.”

Seriously, what are people *thinking* when they say this?

Well, usually, they are noticing the skin around your eyes looks haggard and the bags are dark and puffy.  Strike back at the rudest frenemy line in the book with an excellent brightening cream. We recently got to try a good one: Belli Eye Brightening Cream.

Belli Eye Cream Brightening Cream

Belli Eye Cream Brightening Cream

 

FIGHT THE “YOU LOOK TIRED” LINE WITH VITAMINS K & B3

Vitamin K has long been used to lighten dark circles under tired eyes. Vitamin K helps with blood coagulation and circulation. Since both damaged skin and poor circulation can increase the appearance of dark circles, topical application of Vitamin K can reduce the appearance of darkness around tired eyes. And there is probably no time that eyes appear more tired than during pregnancy and when there is a newborn in the house. Belli Eye Brightening Cream was created for new Moms and Moms-to-be to combat tired looking eyes with a brightening cream that works.

ARE YOUR DARK CIRCLES UNRESPONSIVE TO MOST EYE CREAMS?

Belli designed this cream as safe for new Moms, but anyone with tired and dark under eyes can benefit from Belli Eye Brightening Cream, as it contains Vitamin K and B3, both of which improve all kinds of dark circles including those caused by a lack of sleep. But this Vitamin super-duo also addresses a tougher to treat kind of dark circle, the kind I got: dark circles due to leaking capillaries. The capillaries under the eye slowly leak, and the pool of blood absorbs into the eye tissue and gives it a dark brown look, like a bruise.  There isn’t much to do about it but strengthen the tiny vessels and lightens the darkness that has already occurred. Belli Eye Brightening Cream can address both problems.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BELLI EYE BRIGHTENING CREAM

I’ve been through my share of dark circle treatments and creams in my day, and have a drawer full of concealers that didn’t work. While many creams offer some benefit in reducing the puffiness of the undereye area or giving a smoother appearance, few address the actual darkness or cause of darkness: the blood vessels leaking or experiencing impaired blood flow which gives the appearance of dark undereye skin. So I was excited to use this cream. A 2004 study in the “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology,” showed that topical Vitamin K was most useful at dark circle reduction and brightening when paired with other ingredients like Vitamin B’s. Belli Eye Brightening Cream has this brightening combo of ingredients and then some including:

  • Vitamin B3 is Niacinamide. It is the hot new anti-aging ingredient of late and for a good reason: this collagen promoting skin brightener addresses a loss of elasticity and reduces redness. An effective brightening and lightening tool all own its’ own, when paired with Vitamin K, it results in brighter and firmer skin.
  • Arnica decreases bruising, swelling, inflammation
  • Green Tea reduces puffiness, is anti-inflammatory, and is soothing
  • Cucumber is soothing and reduces swelling
  • Lactic acid is a popular form of AHA, or Alpha Hydroxy Acid, a powerful ingredient that reduces the appearance of acne and wrinkles. While Lactic acid can be harsh on the skin when paired with soothing ingredients and used in reasonable doses, it does not cause irritation while still being very efficient.

Other features:

  • Allergy tested
  • Gluten-Free and not tested on animals.
  • Free of paraben preservatives, gluten, phthalates, and artificial dyes or fragrances.
  • Safe for Moms and Babies: For expecting and nursing moms, Belli strictly avoids any ingredient, synthetic or natural, that has any known link or harmful effect during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

TESTING OUT BELLI EYE BRIGHTENING CREAM

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: It felt cooling, soft and soothing on the skin. The scent is light and dissipates after application.

USE: The cream is emollient and blends well into the skin, and in my opinion, made for good base cream for a concealer. It did not appear greasy when worn on bare skin. My eyes were not irritated or watery after use. My skin stayed emollient but not greasy for several hours after application.

TIP: To enhance the cooling benefits, keep the cream in the refrigerator to make it extra cooling on contact and to help reduce and puffiness.

TREATING PUFFINESS AND SOOTHING IRRITATED SKIN: I had puffiness around my eyes that dissipated upon cream application, and some red, irritated skin along the bottom of one dark circle, there is a small eczema patch there, about the size of a pencil eraser tip. I had used an AHA peel the night before, so the eczema was red. That spot seemed soothed by the cream, and the redness eased off during the day, with the redness subsiding to about the size of a pencil point. It did not sting the skin.

RESULTS

With daily use, my eyes began to look less tired, wrinkles are smoother, and the eyes appear lifted. Collagen production takes about a month with any product, but Vitamins B3 and K are a great combo to build collagen and other supporting structures. The result is firmer, brighter skin. It does this while reducing darkness under the eyes and the overall look of the eye is much brighter, and the skin looks firmer.

 

Belli Eye Cream Brightening Cream

CONCLUSION

If you look tired for whatever reason, including being a new Mom, Belli Eye Brightening Cream Eye Cream can brighten and firm the skin while smoothing wrinkles and improving the condition of the skin to look bright-eyed and bushy tailed. If you have tried a Vitamin K gel or serum in the past with limited results, consider the dynamic duo of Vitamin K plus Vitamin B3 to get superior results than what can be achieved by Vitamin K alone.
