Looking For A Skin Tightening Eye Serum?

Looking For A Skin Tightening Eye Serum?

The typical skin tightening eye serum on the market today contains sun-screening ingredients. Although there are many proponents of the regular use of sunscreens and the practicality of their inclusion in cosmetics, a recent study conducted in France concludes that the inclusion of sunscreens is inappropriate.

There is no doubt that sunscreens can be beneficial for people that spend a great deal of time outdoors.
When used properly and reapplied as directed, they may help protect against skin cancer, as well as wrinkles.

It is the reapplication part that initially bothered the researchers.
Cosmetics and daily moisturizers are applied once, usually in the morning. In order for them to continue to provide protection against UVA and UVB rays, they would need to be reapplied, on a regular basis.

The typical direction for a skin tightening eye serum is to apply after cleansing, before putting on your makeup. There are no recommendations to reapply as the day goes on.
The biggest concern is that people will rely too heavily on the minor sun-screening agents in these products and overexpose themselves to dangerous UV radiation.

If you do as much research as I have done, you will see that cosmetic companies seem to have gotten carried away with the whole idea of sunscreen ingredients. The compounds are in everything from body wash to night creams. Unless you sleep in a tanning bed, you do not need a sunscreen at night.

There is reason to believe that avoiding exposure to the sun can help even out pigmentation and make you look a few years younger after six months or so. But, that means staying out of the sun, wearing a hat and using protective clothing. On exposed areas, you need to use a sun block like zinc oxide, one of the few that has been proven safe and effective.

You will not find zinc oxide in skin tightening eye serum, because it does not fade away. You will, however, find it in some of the better all natural mineral-based make-ups on the market.



Instead of including sunscreens that dont do much of anything, but are supposed to help protect you from free radical damage, the companies should be including antioxidants in their formulas. Antioxidants have proven to be beneficial for preventing and for repairing free radical damage, when applied directly on a daily basis.

If you want an effective skin tightening eye serum, look for one that contains coenzyme Q10. It has been shown to de-age the skins layers after six weeks of regular use.

If you need to get rid of bags, look for proprietary ingredients called HALOXYL and EYELISS. They contain protein peptides and flavones that strengthen the capillaries. The real cause of bags and dark circles is leaky capillaries. When you are young, they may be temporary. As you get older, they may be long-lasting.

A good skin tightening eye serum will also contain the bioactive form of the protein keratin. It has been shown to provide an overall improvement in firmness of 40% after just a few weeks of use. Thats definitely more effective than sunscreen.
