The holidays are in full swing and while I’d love to say it’s a stress free time full of quiet evenings for me, that just isn’t the case. Between work lunches and parties, my son’s school activities and our making time for friends and family, this season is a time of juggling, jingling and being jolly. I’m tired just thinking about it! Even when I do feel well rested, my face may tell a different story. Dark circles under my eye area will give me away every time. The struggle is real and I found a great product–SkinPro Extreme Dark Circle Serum, which I’m excited to tell you about today.

If you develop dark circles even after getting a decent amount of rest, SkinPro Extreme Dark Circle Serum is the answer you’ve been looking for. This product can reduce the puffiness and discoloration around the eye area by up to 35% in as little as 8 weeks and diminish the signs of premature aging where it is most visible.

The delicate area of skin around the eyes is extremely susceptible to aging and as we get older, we tend to see a visible discoloration, thinning of the skin, wrinkles, and swollen bags under the eyes. Aging coupled with exposure to the sun, poor sleep, as well as genetic and environmental factors, can all cause us to lose our youthful appearance. The Extreme Dark Circle Serum is formulated to specifically target this area of skin and bring back a more radiant, youthful looking you.

Fortified with Regu-Age, a potent anti-aging ingredient made from soy and rice peptides, this proprietary blend made by the SkinPro cosmetic pharmacists will increase microcirculation, slow the breakdown of collagen, inhibit free radicals from damaging the skin, and fight oxidative stress to reduce puffiness and inflammation.

To get the most effective results, simply apply the serum to clean skin each morning and night. You only need a very small amount, which should be gently tapped on the affected area surrounding the orbital bone.

The Extreme Dark Circle Serum is available on the SkinPro website, along with a full line of other fabulous products. All of this company’s products are designed for skin care, anti-aging, blemish removal and other common skin issues. You can connect with the company over on Facebook too.

The bedtime routine—we all have them and I’m sure they vary. Some of us like to have some sleepy time tea, read a little or wind down with a bath. The thing we ALL should be doing every single night is washing our faces. “Taking off the day,” is an important part of a healthy skin care routine and one that should not be ignored. Cleansing your face every night helps to prevent breakouts, remove buildup from the day and it keeps our sheets fresh and clean.

I recently learned about a wonderful little company called Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies, which produces handmade products for healthy, happy skin. Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies was created by Nicole Cavalea in 2017. As a busy mom, wife, and certified hatha yoga instructor, Nicole followed her passion for natural health to create incredible beauty and wellness remedies. All of her products are handmade containing only natural ingredients.

I have been using the Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies Honey Face Wash, which is gentle enough for all skin and contains the following ingredients:

• Coconut oil – The rich fatty acids in the coconut oil leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and silky.
• Raw honey – It acts as a natural antiseptic that easily removes bacteria from the skin, leaving your skin feeling clean and refreshed.
• Lavender – Not only does it have a relaxing scent (think spa day), but it is also provides healing and repair to the skin.
• Olive oil – Perfect for fighting environmental factors and softening the skin.
• Castor oil – It acts as a natural moisturizer and promotes healing.

I’ve been using this product for the last week or so and really like how it makes my skin feel and look. It has a light, pleasant smell and washes off easily. I love that it is handmade with natural ingredients as I prefer to use products that are free of synthetic chemicals, preservatives, or unfamiliar ingredients. I want to use something on my skin that I’m confident isn’t harmful to me or the environment.

Simply use the Honey Face Wash each night before bed for glowing, refreshed skin. Rinse your face with warm water and apply a small amount of the product in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and be sure to apply moisturizer afterwards to keep your skin hydrated while you sleep. The Honey Face Wash is available on Etsy via the Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies website and is incredibly affordable at $12.
