Sometimes a product comes along and you think to yourself, “Self, how did I manage to live 20 + 10 + ? years of my life without this?”. Yes, I am known to have a conversation – or two – with myself from time to time. Living in today’s world with sleep deprivation (all you mommy;s out there), late nights and parties (all you club rats out there) and just the everyday environmental toxins that pollute our bodies, our skin is bound to show signs of wear and tear. Think of it like this: if you’re stressed, so, too, is your skin. And with stressed, fatigue, dehydration, and polluted skin comes fine lines and a dull complexion.
Enter Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels, a quick fix to hose ghastly little lines and sad, tired eyes. These cooling patches have become my saving grace.
A word (or several..) from the company:
In just ten minutes, this cooling transdermal gel patch infuses the eye area with concentrated doses of soothing ingredients to firm, tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides and botanicals improve blood flow and reduce puffiness while advanced antioxidants help prevent future damage. The patch, a cutting-edge delivery system, is easy to both apply and remove and is non-irritating.
Says Glee actress Jessalyn Gilsig to Stylist: “I really love Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. Wish they could make them for my whole face.” I most definitely concur.
PRICE TAG: $30.00 for 8 pairs
The Kissing System: 5 Kisses (meaning, I recommend without hesitation)
A comparable product (for tripple the cost) is Tracie Martyn’s LotuSculpt Activator and Eye Pads. The Activator is $50.00 and the eye pads are $45.00 bringing the total cost to $95.00 (eeks)! I reviewed years ago and loved (that was before trying the less expensive, just as effective Skyn Iceland ones). And while I am all for an expenisve facial treatment, when there is something on the market just as good for a third of the cost, it’s kind of a no brainer. Only differnece is that Tracie does count people like Kate Winslet, Cyndi Lauper, Susan Sarandon, Brad Pitt, Oprah, Liv Tyler and Diane Von Furstenberg as clients, so if you’re into that whole “celebrity” thing, then you’ll probably be quite keen on the $95.00 version.
