The beflattered team, all in their 40s, 50s and 60s are continually trying out the latest products. Read our take on products to help and minimise Crêpey Eye Lids. This will also work with their friends Fine lines, Wrinkles and Crows Feet.
We believe that effective skincare is key to looking great and staying young.
Our first port of call is to make sure you remove all your make-up at night see link to Cleansers. It is especially important to remove eye make-up.
We love Vie at Home Bright Eyes.
We don’t sell this product but click here and you can buy directly! It’s so good we couldn’t resist telling you! It’s gentle and yet effective and will treat the delicate skin around your eyes and your Fine Lines with TLC whilst removing every last trace of make-up.
And if you wear waterproof mascara try their Everything Goes Eye-Make-up Remover that makes light work of removing all eye make-up
We are still looking for a product that can be used directly on the lids. One that is safe and doesn’t make the eyes puff up. So our approach is to focus on the fine lines and wrinkles that usually accompany crêpey lids.
We have three favourite products to help with Fine Lines, Wrinkles and eventually Crows Feet around the Eyes. We think you should treat them all the same and go for a full on regime from the off.
From America with wonder ingredient complex QAL-100™ uniquely this contains three highly active ingredients, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Co-Enzyme Q10 and Acetyl l Carnitine. Together these work synergistically against the effects of ageing helping to make crow’s feet less noticeable. Also the first ingredient anti-ageing complex to be written about in the British Journal of Dermatologists- so a real ground breaker.
And then we think works wonders too. This approach is using Retinol. Tagravit R is Retinol (Vitamin A), which has been microencapsulated and is only activated upon application to the skin. This prevents oxidation of the Vitamin A so that the formula is more concentrated and contains less degraded retinol which can cause severe reactions. Also with Matrixyl 3000 that is composed of proteins that are capable reducing the appearance of wrinkle depth and volume and improve skin tone.
And also SesaFlash that is a patented ingredient which provides an instant tightening effect to help make line and wrinkles look less noticeable
And lastly Organic does not mean less effective. is packed with so much and their micro emulsion delivery system that ensures it gets right to the root of the wrinkle problem quickly.
Pentapeptide Complex acts like a supplement to collagen and elastin, providing the building blocks required to maintain a healthy skin structure for firmer, smoother, younger-looking skin.
Many Pentapeptide complexes are synthetic and contain a limited number of amino acids. Organic Apoteke complexes contain all the amino acids that makeup skin structures and are extracted from certified organic botanical sources.
Best Attack
Aside from good skincare for your eye area, we think that for Crêpey Eyelids the best plan is what not to do.
Avoid shiny, frosty eye make-up and focus on your lashes.
Beauty from Within
It’s well known that what you eat reflects in your skin – eat junk consistently and your skin will, over time show it. Even if you eat a reasonable diet, the nutrients in food cannot always be guaranteed, so taking a good Multi-Vitamin and Mineral Supplement is good health and skin insurance. Read our take on Why take a Multi Vitamin
For general all round skin care from within we like a good dose of Flax Seed Oil, or chose a good ready made Organic Beauty Oil Complex and a pre blended Skin Repair Oil to take internally every day.
