We get so many great questions about how best to use our products and one of the most recent ones is whether or not I should be using the Lime Caviar Eye Crème or the Brightening Eye + Skin Serum for around my eyes.
Here's how to decide:
Are you targeting puffiness?
If the answer is yes then you would be best to apply our Lime Caviar Eye Crème. It contains mutliple ingredients like arnica and calendula which help to reduce puffy eyes. For best results, apply morning and evening.
Do you have dark circles?
If yes, then lean towards our Brightening Eye + Skin Serum. Whilst the Eye Crème will help with dark circles, the Serum has more targeted ingredients that actually work to promote the breakdown of blood deposits in the skin and improve lymphatic drainage.
Do you want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles?
If this is a big fat yes then definitely apply our Lime Caviar Eye Crème morning and evening. It contains lots of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid which support collagen synthesis and reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Are you treating eczema?
The eye area is a very common spot for eczema to show up and so if that's what you're trying to treat, the Lime Caviar Eye Crème is your best option. We also have a lot of success with our Ultimate SOS Balm for eczema around the eyes and all over the body.
If you have any other queries about which product is your best choice for a certain skin issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
I'm often being asked about Retinol and whether or not I would recommend it. Firstly, let me explain what it is and what it does. Retinol improves skin texture and fights signs of aging by speeding up cell turnover and boosting collagen production.
Main Benefits of Retinol
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: It stimulates collagen and elastin production to plump the skin and smooth out lines.
Accelerates skin cell turnover: It helps the skin shed dead cells faster, revealing a fresher, brighter, and smoother surface.
Evens skin tone: It reduces melanin production to help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
As much as I would love everyone to just empty the contents of their beauty cabinet and start fresh, it’s not practical or affordable for many. So given that one of the most common questions I get asked is ‘where should I start when transitioning to organic skincare’, I wanted to lay out my recommendations.
When going organic, I think it’s good to know not only what to start buying but why. That way you can make informed decisions and know that you’re heading in the right direction.
Lying in bed at 3am, desperate for sleep for come over me, is not how I expected to be spending my Thursday nights. But this is how it seems to be at 45. I’m hot, I’ve taken Panadol about 3 hours earlier to no avail, and I’m hearing every animal noise outside my window (which on other nights I would have slept through). I hate this.
