As the Crowfeet Fly

One of my new favorite things in my arsenal of pretty weaponry, is this handy little guy from Canadian skin care innovator Dermaglow. This brand has been around since 2000, is sold internationally and is constantly developing exciting skin care products that work.
Well the Triple Action Eye Lift is now part of my gym bag 'beauty duty' baby! I may not be able to lift my arms right now- damn you deltoid machine- but this product is loverley. Easy to use, designed to slip into your pocket or purse, it has a roll on applicator to deliver instant hydration and lift in one simple stroke with no mess to worry about- how you ask? - Well it it has an active ingredient called escin, which is an extract derived from the horse chestnut tree and promotes increased circulation in the skin and enhanced collagen production. Collagen is what gives your skin fullness and plumps it up. We love our collagen boosters!

Another ingredient is sodium hyaluronate which holds and retains moisture and has small particles which easily penetrate into the skin. Going into the dreaded W word- winter - the season when the temperature drops and all that horrible radiant heat/central air kicks in and starts to suck the moisture out of your face like a bad Bram Stoker adaption starring Keanu Reeves, a quick little roll of this guy is like giving your undereye and crow's feet a big gulping glass of moisture. The consistency is pretty ideal, absorbing quickly and doesn't make you look all disco shiny, like so many other anti- aging products on the shelves. It also reduces under eye puffiness and the appearance of dark circles. I'm not saying give up the late nights, I'm just saying lessen the tell tale look of them. My favorite part is Dermaglow stands behind their products completely, so customer satisfaction is key to their success and if you're not happy bring it back. it is also fragrance free and has no parabens*. I hate lots of smelly products on my face and have been known to toss out new moisturizers just cause of the questionable overload of scent sensation.

Dermaglow's Triple Action Eye Lift retails all over in major drug stores like my favorite personal beauty emporium addiction Shoppers Drug Mart for just less then $35. Now if I could only figure out how to hold mine between my knees, lean in and apply until my shoulders stop screaming, my eye area would be hydrated and happy.


*Note: The case is still out on parabens, which are synthetically made chemical preservatives, as to if they actually are carcinogenic. I am no scientist, mad but not a scientist, but when it's going into my skin, especially my face, I'd rather err on the side of caution.- At one time smoking and sitting outside in the sun slathered in a concoction of iodine and baby oil supposedly didn't cause cancer either -not judging... just saying... ok maybe judging a little.
