For us older moms :), can anyone recommend a good product for those fine lines around the eyes? There are so many products and I wonder if anyone has used anything they think actually works and doesn't cost a small fortune. Thanks!

Every year the magazines do a what works best piece and as far back as I can remember Loreal's skin care line does the best compared to all the high price; (Clinique, Estee Lauder), brands. With anything I think that consistency is the #1 thing. My grandma has the softest skin at 87. She has religiously used Ponds cold cream and Oil of Olay. She found something that worked for her and stuck with it.

Hi B.!
I definitley can recommend the best eye cream! I am 42 years old and lived to be tan almost all of my life. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. We age the quickest. Everyone told me, all of my life, that someday, I would be sorry. Well, it was somewhere around my mid thirties, when I looked in the mirror one day and saw all of the dreaded signs of all of the damage I had caused to my skin! That's when I began my journey of searching for the best "wrinkle creams" on the market. I began with the local drug stores, trying Oil of Olay, Nutregena, Aveeno, etc. Saw no results. So I decided I better hit the department stores. That's when I began to try the more "expensive" lines....Clinique, Este Lauder, Lancome, Channel, Clarins....I still saw no results. A couple of years ago, I was invited to an Arbonne presentation. I went against my will and the whole way there I kept saying to myself...I'm going...but I'm not buying anything! That night changed my life. I was introduced to this wonderful company that is sooooo different in so many ways than any of the other skin care companies I had ever known. The information that I learned that night horrified me so much that I went home immediately and did my research. And sure enough, what I learned that night of all of the harmful ingredients that go into our skin care and personal products was true!!! Did you know that Mineral oil is the leading cause of premature aging next to the sun. It is equivalent to wrapping your skin in plastic wrap. It retards the skins functioning, not allowing it to breathe, sweat or release toxins, which is your skins primary function. Yet 98% of skin care companies and cosmetic companies use mineral oil in their products. Mineral oil is simply CRUDE OIL which has been refined and refined and refined again until it is what they call "cosmetic quality". Producers created a market for it because it was cheaper to sell it to cosmetic and skin care companies than it is to dispose of it according to hazardous material standards. It's cheap! Botanicals, plant oils, are very expensive. Arbonne's products are pure, safe and beneficial. They are botanically based. They are formulated without chemical dyes or fragrances. They contain NO MINERAL OILS or animal products/by-products. They are hypoallergenic. pH correct, dermatologist tested. And the whole entire line promotes health and wellness.
Back to the anti-aging line. They have the first and only Swiss and U.S. patent pending anti-aging to use Nanoshere technology which is smart technology. It adjusts to anyones skin type. It is definitley a result oriented system. IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Especially the eye cream! That is where you normally see immediate results. You can ask anyone that uses Arbonne's anti-aging line about how it has changed the appearance of their skin. I guarantee that you will hear VERY positive feedback. If you would like more information, please contact me. I can send you samples. You would only need to use the sample pack for approximately three to four days to see and feel the difference in your skin. Check out their website for testimonials. www.arbonne.com

Hi B.,
I am a firm believer in good skin care. I have used Shaklee's enfuselle for about 10 years. I first started using it to prevent anything, but as I have gotten older, I definately love how my skin feels.
I have a 10 month old and got away from taking care of my skin after he was born and just recently started using it again and wow! I forgot how nice it feels and looks to have good skin.

Shaklee's skin care has a whole bunch of patents and major skin care lines have actually approached Shaklee to buy their patents (they aren't selling them at this time). I have found (as well as research supports) a major reduction in fine lines. I love the eye cream.

If you'd like more info, let me know.

Hi B.,

I have been using optimeyes eye treatment from Jafra for about 6 years, and I love it! So do my friends. I also use another one called Daily eye treatment, cuz it has SPF 15 in it.

They are $22.00 for .5 oz, compare to department stores, which run from about $45-$85.00 for the same size. or this month's special, it is free with a retinol treatment, which I highly recomend.

I'd be happy to send you a sample to try before you buy, we call it our 3 day test. Some clients have had their puffiness and dark circles gone by the end of a class! I can send you a sample of both products, you'll be happy you did!

You may check out my webpage: www.myjafra.com/hjohnson2 or email me direct at: ____@____.com

I also do home parties, we call them classes, we can teach you how to care for your skin and change how you look and feel for the better!

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Best wishes,

H. J.

I know you have many other responses, but I firmly believe in BeautiControl products. I love them so much that I became a consultant for the discount for myself. I don't host parties or anything like that, but if someone asks a question where I think one of their products would help I will mention it.

So, BeautiControl has many items specifically designed for women in their 40's. They have a whole skin care line for women ages 40+, and many specialty products for specific problem areas. For those fine lines around the eyes, they sell Regeneration Time to Go Capsules with Retinol Eye Serum. They also sell Platinum Regeneration Line Reversal Wrinkle Creme. Finally, they sell a wrinkle filler pen that to help plump up fine lines and wrinkles during the day. I know women who have used all of these products and I am amazed. Within a couple of weeks I see a major difference in their skin and wrinkles. As another person here mentioned, the key to any product is using it every day/night.

So, I would suggest that you use the Regeneration Time to Go Time Capsules to start out. They come in a box of 30 capsules, and each capsule has 2 applications for each eye (4 applications total). So, it should last you 2 months. I would love to give you a sample to try for a couple of days. It costs $35, although I can give it to you for $20 since you are new to BeautiControl and I would like you to try them out. Send me a message if you are interested in the sample or buying the product. Believe me, you will be amazed! All BeautiControl products come with a money back guarantee, so you can't go wrong.
