I’ve non done a skincare post for a while, but I felt that this novel production – EKIA oculus cream - was worth a mention.
Anyone who’s read this spider web log from the commencement volition know that my eternal struggle- along amongst finding the correct foundation – is finding a production that volition aid cut my oculus lines.
My eyes convey been my most ageing facial feature, every bit from the historic catamenia of eighteen I had lines around my eyes, as well as never actually knew how to combat them. I was lucky plenty non to convey black circles, but I made upward for this inwards fine lines.
It was when I was getting married as well as trialing MUAs that 2 makeup artists told me that my eyes were dehydrated, as well as a proficient oculus cream was inwards order. That was all that I needed to hear, as well as then cue a route exam of the next oculus creams:
While they all had their pros as well as cons (and you lot tin give the sack read all close them past times clicking the names), my biggest bugbear amongst using oculus creams was this – laziness as well as commitment-phobia. Like most things inwards my life, I start enthusiastically, studiously applying the cream at forenoon as well as night. Then life, holidays, operate move or only non buying a replacement cream scuppers the oculus rehydration process.
So I’ve gone for close a twelvemonth without using oculus cream, as well as truthfully, it didn’t trouble organisation me until I noticed a novel matter to complement the oculus lines – puffiness.
That’s right, my eyes weren’t content amongst lines, as well as then they had to throw forenoon puffiness into the mix. When I initiatory of all noticed the puffiness I position it downwardly to the residual of my oculus infection (which I warned you lot close here).
However, it wasn’t painful as well as it settled during the day, as well as then I could solely conclude that the puffiness was a sign that I wasn’t 21 anymore.
So it was impeccable timing when I was introduced to a novel construct of skincare, Ekia.
A novel organic make which is for *cough* maturing skin, Ekia boasts a super-cool Game of Thrones Khaleesi-esque division - Dragon’s Blood Sap.
Science-y/marketing spheel alert:
Apparently, Dragon’s Blood Sap comes from the Croton Lechleri Tree from the Amazon rainforest, which is ane of a handful of native trees known every bit ‘pioneer species’ due to the fact that inwards fifty-fifty the most depopulated of forests, it is ane of the initiatory of all trees to come upward dorsum to life… all thank you lot to the regenerative capacity of its sap.
Used for centuries past times Amazonian tribes for its regenerative benefits, “Dragon’s Blood Sap”, has over double the anti-oxidant ability of light-green tea, as well as is considered past times the scientific community every bit ane of the most powerful antioxidants inwards the world.
Anyhoo, I was glad to listen that I was on the younger halt of the Ekia ideal customer. But nonetheless, I was told I may utilize goodness from trying their products. So I’ve been using their Eyelid Lifting Serum around my whole oculus for close a week, as well as it’s pretty darn good.
On initiatory of all application, I felt the pare around the oculus tightening. Now this was a real dissimilar feeling to the other oculus creams I tried, such every bit Madara, ane of my faves, to a greater extent than intensely moisturizing. However, the tightness did aid construct my eyes await tauter, thus keeping puffiness at bay. Obviously fourth dimension volition say whether it provides whatever long-term benefits, however, it did look to operate straightaway to pep upward my peepers.
Ekia’s oculus cream doesn’t come upward cheap, every bit it’s £38.29 for 15ml, as well as then it totally depends on your budget whether you lot experience it’s worth the splurge. However if you’re lazy as well as forgetful similar me when it comes to skincare, Ekia mightiness last worth a become for it’s almost immediate effect.
