I've been using eye creams and serums for ever. First time I tried one I was 19 years and at least that time the selection was not that wide like nowadays and the cream I tries was pretty heavy and made my eye contour area puffy and got huge eye bags - I hardly could open my eyes. Anyway, times have changed and the products have developed enormously and there's a right one for everyone and for any age.

So why it's important to use an eye serum?

First of all the skin around the eye area is extremely delicate. The eye area is often the first to show the first signs of ageing. Specically formulated creams and serums should be used instead of normal moisturizers, which are too heavy for this area around the eyes. 

The texture of serums is normally lighter than in creams so they don't feel too greasy, actually not greasy at all. I prefer serums which can be used all around the eye area not just under eyes. My eyelids are not so firm any more so I definitely want to have a product that helps me with this sagging issue as well, not just wrinkles. 

With the eye serums it's good to remember that less is more. The delice skin cannot absorb too much so be carefull not to overload with serums. Applying a thick layer will cause dragging making the skin strecth and sag. 

Kiehl's Super Multi-corrective Eye-opening Serum has 10% botanical extracts and sodium hyaluronic which help the delicate skin lift, firm and restore youthful look. 

I pat it am & pm gently starting from the inner corner, under eye towards temples and continue along orbital bone and over eyelid.

Are you using an eye serum?

Egoboost by Supermood

This Egoboost by Supermood is promising to make eyes wide open!

It's a Cinderella serum meaning that the effect lasts some hours but doesn't really improve the texture of skin. Perfect product to use when you need a bit of lifting.

How to use it?

Tap a small amount, app. 2 drops, on your upper lid towards your brows and also between the brows. You can first warm the serum in between your fingers. Don't apply it under your eyes.

What does it do?

- the serum kind of opens up the eyes

- gives a fresh look

- tightens up the delicate skin of the upper eye contour area

- it kind of gives a tight cling wrap for the upper lids 

(if you wear it without make-up and walk in the rain, it peels off...)

I like this product! So easy to apply and really freshens up the look.

ps. It contains chaga mushroom!

Supermood is a new Finnish range of products that includes topical, organic cosmetics and even edible beauty products such as raw chocolate with collagen. As most of the products are produced using “superfoods” and the beauty lines are separated by different moods -rather than skin types-, it was a great move to name the range Supermood.

The brand was launched in Autumn 2014 with the first product range, Egoboost, a powder containing chaga mushroom found in trees in arctic areas. “Chaga contains huge amounts of antioxidants and it has been used as a folk medicine for centuries. It boosts the immune system and evens out the skin tone. Chaga used in Supermood is hand collected from Finnish nature.”
