Libby has had puffy under eye circles for as long as she could remember. She used to try to shrink the bags in high school by applying frozen spoons or cucumber slices to the area. Since then, She's made attempts to get rid of them using lotions, potions, lasers, concealers, and even an injection of my own plasma. Although she had some success hiding those bothersome, bulging pouches, nothing has worked as a permanent fix.
She decided to try the Eminence Organics Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream for 30 days with a Gua Sha face massage tool, an age-old method that has been used for millennia.
What is the main cause of puffy eyes?
Like with many skin conditions, puffiness under the eyes can be caused by a variety of things. Among the most frequent causes include heredity, ageing, allergies, sleep deprivation, and lifestyle choices such excessive salt intake, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Some of these factors are unavoidable, but others can be managed, or at least lessened. Although fat deposits under or around the eyes can also produce puffiness under the eyes, treating fat deposits under the eyes can be more difficult.
Anti-ageing effects of the Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream
There are several advantages of hibiscus for the skin. It's often referred to as the "anti-ageing plant", it can help you achieve the skin you desire. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help seal in moisture and maintain the suppleness and smoothness of your skin.
Ancient medicine also made extensive use of hibiscus flowers, both in the form of hibiscus flower tea and as a direct skin application. Thus, it is supported by a great deal of evidence, science, and popularity.
The anthocyanins in hibiscus encourage the development of elastin, which aids in the natural process of keeping your skin taut and youthful-looking, hibiscus is great for tightening your skin. With the ability to inhibit the activity of the enzyme elastase, which is responsible for breaking down our skin’s precious elastin, Hibiscus can help to slow the visible signs of ageing by firming and lifting your skin.
The instant lift Eminence Organics Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream de-puffs tired eyes, smoothes wrinkles, and reduces the appearance of dark under-eye circles in a matter of minutes. The cooling stainless steel rollerball applicator massages hibiscus and ice wine actives into the eye area, tightening and lifting the skin immediately.
Why a Gua Sha for treating puffy eyes?
Gua sha is a Chinese medicinal technique that involves using a jade tool to scrape the skin. This multi-edged, smooth stone tool may be crafted from rose quartz, jade, or other semi-precious stones.
The under eye region is the best place to use a gua sha tool to minimize puffiness and promote a more youthful appearance. The tool's mild scraping promotes lymphatic fluid to migrate from your under eyes, reducing puffiness. The gua sha tool also promotes increased blood flow to the skin.
As Libby has dealt with puffy eyes since she was a teenager, she was determined to give this method a try.
The Jade Roller & Gua Sha are incredible tools to assist in enhancing the effectiveness of your beauty routine; promoting circulation and encouraging skin cell rejuvenation. Whilst also gently stimulating the lymphatic system to combat puffiness and water retention on the face and neck.
Treating Puffy Eyes
Libby attempted applying the gua sha tool on her face in the past to help define my jawline and elevate the appearance of my cheeks. There have been some minor, transient changes to certain places' appearance, but nothing major. Similar to many face massage procedures consistency is important.
She first applied the Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream on her eyelid and the area beneath her eye. The eye cream is a light-textured eye cream with caffeine to minimize the appearance of puffiness and tighten skin tone, along with ice wine and green algae.
In addition, the eye cream applies cool and soothingly and has just the correct amount of slide to let the gua sha move over the sensitive eye area without pulling on the skin. She has used a lot of Eminence Organic Skin Care's eye products and adding gua sha elevates it to a new level.
She recommends apply a cold, newly frozen gua sha tool. This cold therapy trick lowers blood flow to the area, which helps to reduce swelling and inflammation. It also feels so wonderful.
Results After 30 Days
Libby admits that, after applying the gua sha procedure once a day for four weeks, either in the morning or at night, she's very pleased with the outcome.
Along with several other advantages, she has definitely noticed a decrease in the puffiness around her eyes. Even after a late night or a restless sleep, the eye area is brighter and appears more alert. She's noticed a positive difference in the appearance of her skin. The wrinkles and fine lines seem less prominent and her skin looks tighter.
