How to Naturally Reduce Puffiness Under Your Eyes

In today’s article we are going to address the question: Why do you have swelling or puffiness around your eyes?

While there can be many causes for that puffy swelling under the eyes, besides the natural aging process that might be a cause, this could be simply inherited facial features, allergies, stress, excess weight, eye fatigue, dry eyes and individual skin characteristics such as texture.

Whatever the cause, that puffy look is usually caused by an accumulation of fluid in the surrounding skin tissues.

Because the skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive and like the rest of our body, with aging, the skin tends to sag and excess water and fat can then begin to accumulate behind this loose skin, which causes the puffiness.

5 Tips for Getting Rid of Puffy Bags

First, let’s talk about several simple, NATURAL remedies you may not have considered, that can help eliminate that unwanted puffiness…

1) Cool water can help reduce swelling – so splash on cold water or apply a cold compress for a few minutes;

2) Cold spoons can alleviate swelling because it tightens the skin around the eyes and relaxes blood vessels — refrigerate a teaspoon until it gets cold and then gently press the rounded part of the spoon against the puffy area until the spoon becomes warm and then replace it;

3) Apply cold teabags — this has long been a remedy for relaxing the eyes and reducing swelling and the reason it works is because teabags contain anti-irritant properties that help reduce swelling around your eyes;

4) Egg whites combined with a few drops of Witch-Hazel has a very effective skin tightening effect;

5) Potatoes can also be highly effective at reducing puffiness due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Simply grate a raw potato to extract the juice and then soak a cotton ball or pad in the juice and place it over your closed eyes for about 10-15 minutes.

NEXT, let’s talk about how you can reduce that puffiness simply with the daily use of Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Cream…

Anti-inflammatory ingredients are known to help reduce swelling and because Cardea Luxe™ Skincare contains many helpful anti-inflammatory ingredients, including Borage and Evening Primrose Oil, you will definitely want to introduce Cardea Luxe™ into your daily skincare routine.

Swelling around the delicate eye area, which leads to puffiness, is caused by cells that are damaged by free radical molecules as a result of ultraviolet rays from daily exposure to the sun and the many forms of pollution we are all exposed to in our daily lives.

The regular use of a skincare product containing antioxidants will help to stabilize these harmful molecules, which in turn will give rise to healthier cells and reduced inflammation and swelling.

Cardea Luxe™ contains a synergistic blend of many important anti-oxidant ingredients, including Witch Hazel, Vitamin C, Co-Enzyme Q10,  Vitamin E, Cranberry , Blueberry, Apple Extract and more, which means the the daily application of Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Cream will provide your skin with all that it needs so that you can always put your best face forward.

Best Natural & Organic Under Eye Cream for Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Fine Lines

How can you take care of your face when you have a very busy life?

Without a doubt you certainly have a busy life and need a skincare routine that is simple while also giving you the opportunity to put your best face forward, regardless of your age. There is absolutely no reason why you can’t have it all!

So, in this short video, I’m going to briefly touch on some of the amazing, essential ingredients contained in the Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream that you need to have a younger-looking, healthy and moisturized skin.

Cardea Luxe™ contains a synergistic blend of many helpful ingredients that will work beautifully with every skin type, because once you get into your 30’s and 40’s we all need to take better care of our complexion by choosing a daily anti-aging skincare routine that includes essential antioxidant ingredients, such as Retinol, Co-Enzyme Q10 and all-natural Aloe Vera to help protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun.

As we age, our skin no longer produces enough of the essential ingredients we need to retain that smooth skin, even tone and youthful glow, which means that if we still want to keep everyone guessing about our true age and look much younger than our years, we need to give ourselves the advantage by applying a skin cream, such as Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream, that contains amazing anti-aging properties, because Cardea Luxe™ has the power to put that youthful glow literally at our fingertips.

How to Beat Skin Aging

As well as the anti-oxidant ingredients I’ve already mentioned, you also want a skincare product that contains Peptides because peptides help regenerate a healthy skin matrix to encourage the production of healthy, new skin cells that literally make the skin look younger and brighter.

Any skin cream worthy of your attention, such as Cardea Luxe™, will also contain natural plant and herb extracts that moisturize the skin (Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil) as well as other great ingredients such as the Green Tree Extract and Sea Fennel Wax which heal and soothe the skin…

Also, you want a skincare product that contains Hyaluronic Acid, because while our bodies naturally produce this essential “youth” acid, once we reach our 30’s and 40’s our bodies stop producing enough of it to keep our skin radiant and wrinkle free.

This means that your skincare product also needs to contain this key molecule, because Hyaluronic Acid will give you that little extra boost that will help to diminish those fine lines and wrinkles.

Best Eye Cream Option

No matter what your age, and how much time you might have to devote to your skincare routine, and even if you don’t feel like you can spare the time to go through the Cleanser – Toner – Serum and Moisturizing Phases before you head out the door in the morning or settle down for the night, so long as you integrate a good cleansing routine and then apply Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream, you will have given your skin the protection, nourishment and moisturizing it needs using just one amazing product!

And when you cleanse and apply Cardea Luxe™ before bed at night, you are also giving your skin the opportunity to repair the daily damage while you sleep, so you can literally wake up the next morning with a younger-looking face!

How to Easily Get Rid of Dark Circles Under Eyes

Today we are going to address the question: Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?

You may have wondered why you have those dark circles under your eyes that make you look tired and much older than your age, and in this short video you will discover what causes them and what you can do to get rid of those “raccoon eyes”.

There are many reasons why you might have dark circles, including the one that first comes to mind, which is the natural ageing process.

However, dark circles can also be caused by blocked sinuses, deep set eyes, genetics, seasonal allergies, not getting enough sleep, or a poor diet — for instance, if your diet is high in salt and sugar, alcohol and caffeine, that will compromise the body’s ability to naturally excrete toxins.

And there is one more thing that can cause those dark circles underneath your eyes, and that is leakage of blood from broken capillaries that shows through the very thin and delicate under eye skin.

OK, now we know there’s a long list that could have caused those dark circles, but how do we get rid of them?

How to Reduce Dark Circles Under Eyes

First, let’s talk about some simple, NATURAL remedies….that you may not have considered…

1) Drink more water throughout your day…because this will help to flush out those toxins;

2) Make sure that you get a minimum of 7 to 9 hours sleep every night and if your head is quite flat when you sleep, try doubling up on your pillow so your head is more elevated, which can help to prevent blood from building up underneath your eyes;

3) First thing in the morning, apply a cold compress for about 5 minutes, to constrict blood vessels;

4) Eat 1-ounce of flavonol-rich dark chocolate each day, plus foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as walnuts and salmon, because these foods can help to improve blood flow to the skin.

Best Cream for Under Eye Dark Circles

NEXT, let’s talk about how you can reduce those dark under eye circles simply with the daily use of Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Cream…

Cardea Luxe™ contains important ingredients that actually help to repair broken blood capillaries, including Retinol, Cocoa Seed Butter and Jojoba Oil.

Cardea Luxe™ also contains Tamanu (TAW-man-oo) Oil, which has been used for centuries by the natives of SE Asia and the Pacific Islands as a cure-all for any kind of skin problem, and is highly effective in promoting the formation of new tissue.

Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Cream also contains Calendula Extract from the flower native to the Northern Mediterranean.

This herb has been called “the herb for beautiful skin” because it has antibacterial and healing properties and also stimulates the production of collagen, which is essential for retaining youthful skin.

Even further, Cardea Luxe™ contains skin lightening agents, including Bearberry Leaf and Chamomile extracts, that will lighten up those darkened under eye areas, as well as astringents, such as Oregon Grape extract to help reduce leakage of blood from capillaries by making the capillary cells tighter together.

Whether or not you have dark under eye circles, you will definitely want to benefit from the many anti-aging and skin renewal properties contained in the amazing Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream.

Best Daily Simple Skin Care Routine for Natural Glowing Skin

I’m inspired to write this post because many people are really complicating their skin care routine when in reality, simple is best.

While it’s true that some anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing products can truly help us to all have a younger and healthier-looking skin, first you need to get the basics right, otherwise you may be wasting those helpful and often expensive serums and creams.

OK, let’s get down to essentials so that when you apply those miracle creams, such as Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Therapy, you will know that you’ve set the scene to be able to receive all the amazing benefits.

A simple skin care routine contains just three essential products (1) cleanser (2) toner and (3) moisturizer and these three are the basics that are a must if you want your skin to look as healthy and radiant as possible so that you can put your best face forward.

Also, depending on your age and the condition of your skin, you might want to add an exfoliant once or twice a week to help shed dead skin cells.

It’s not difficult to become mesmerized by the astonishing array of so-called miracle skin products that crowd the cosmetics shelves everywhere you look and it can often be tempting to invest in various masks, peels, night creams, day creams, wrinkle-reducing creams, serums and more and be distracted from the essentials.

If this sounds like you, and your bathroom cabinet is overflowing with a vast array of facial products, it’s time to scale down your skincare routine and instead focus on the basics your skin really needs.

Basic #1 = Cleanser

Always choose a cleanser that doesn’t dry out your skin and the easiest way to know whether your cleanser is too harsh or drying is to take notice after you wash your face and if your skin feels tight and dry after washing, this means that your cleanser is too strong and if you continue to dry out your face by using a cleanser that is too harsh for you, everything you do afterward will have little positive effect.

Basic #2 = Toner

You always want to apply a toner after washing because no matter how thoroughly you may think you are rinsing, there will always be some residue of the cleansing product that remains on your face.

As well, you may not have considered that salts, chlorine or other minerals from the tap water you are rinsing with will also remain on your face.

Also, following your cleanser with a toner is similar to priming the wall before you apply the expensive paint and will set your skin up to more effectively receive your moisturizer in a pure form without the interaction of other residues.

Basic #3 = Moisturizer

Now that you have a clean and toned face, it’s time to apply an effective moisturizer, so that you can go about you day without worrying about the drying effects of the environment you may be exposed to.

Obviously, during the day you will want to add a sunscreen to your moisturizing routine of at least SPF 30.

At nighttime, you can dispense with the sunscreen and instead focus solely on applying a moisturizer that will help repair daily damage and provide superior hydration, such as Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Renewal Therapy, that is also a wonderful all over moisturizer, so you can awaken looking fresh and radiant.

Exfoliate

While our skin naturally exfoliates and renews itself about every 25 days, once we reach the age of 30, like many processes in our body, this natural exfoliation process begins to slow down, which can lead to uneven skin tone and a duller complexion.

Therefore, when you want to give your face that little extra help, to reveal younger skin and retain a radiant glow at all ages, using a mild facial scrub once or twice a week can be an important key to maintaining a smooth and bright complexion no matter what the season.

You will want to find an exfoliant that is not too harsh or damaging to your skin. Some products contain sharp and rough granules that can damage your skin, therefore, in order to avoid damage, be sure to choose a product containing smooth, rounded beads, instead.

As well, because your skin repairs and renews itself while you’re sleeping, choose to exfoliate in the morning and be careful to only scrub lightly because using too much pressure can do more harm than good. Also, on those mornings when you choose to exfoliate, you can skip the cleanser in lieu of your scrub.

When you stick to a simply effective skincare routine that includes the use of Cardea Luxe™, you will be sure to put your best face forward every day.

Your Easy Nighttime Skin Care Routine

Nighttime is when you want to let your face rest and recover from the ravages of the day, which means you will want a simple and effective routine that will clean away the dirt and pollution and provide your face with the nourishment it needs to help repair daily damage so that your face has the best start the next morning.

Cleanse

First, you need to make sure that you have chosen a cleanser that is formulated to offer your particular skin type the best clean possible.

Remember, you’re not just removing makeup you may have applied in the morning, you’re also removing all the daily grime, irritants and bacteria that may have made their way onto your face throughout your day.

Whether you’re using a cleansing cloth that is already impregnated with your favorite cleanser, a cleansing brush or simply your cleanser and your hands, before bed you want to get to work thoroughly washing your face with warm water and your favorite cleanser.

After washing, make sure that you thoroughly rinse away all dirt and soap residue with warm water, follow up with a splash of cold to close the pores and gently pat your face dry with a soft towel.

Tone

If you now think that your face must be perfectly clean, this is not necessarily true because chances are quite high that even after all that rinsing there are still remnants of your cleanser and makeup still remaining, and the best way to ensure that your face is really clean is to add another 30 seconds to your routine and follow up your face washing with a toner.

Witch Hazel is my favorite choice for this simple and often overlooked part of an effective nighttime skin care routine, and although there are many toners out there that can get the job done, make sure you choose one that is compatible with your particular skin type.

Apply toner to a cotton pad and thoroughly wipe all over your face, starting at your hairline. Be especially gentle around your delicate eye skin area and finish up with your neck area.

This simple toning step will ensure that any remaining makeup, oil or grime that has accumulated on your face throughout the day will be eliminated and your face will be ready to receive the nourishment it needs while you sleep.

Moisturize

Next, after washing and toning your face, you will want to moisturize and replenish the essential oils you’ve just washed away and my favorite product for this simple task is easily taken care of with the amazing Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream.

This highly effective eye cream is not just for your delicate eye area as it is also a wonderful moisturizer for your entire face and neck area and just what you need to help repair skin damage and reverse the effects of aging at the cellular level while you sleep.

Missing this important step will be missing an opportunity to feed your skin cells all that they need to optimize healing, repair and renewal so that you can always put your best face forward.

Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream contains all those moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients you want to help ensure that when the sun peeks over the horizon the next morning, your face will have enjoyed the benefits of a fabulous, synergistic skin care formulation that will help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, repair damage at the cellular level and renew your skin all night long so you can rise and shine with a younger looking face.

Humidify While You Sleep

You may only think of turning on that humidifier when you’ve got a cold or have difficulty breathing, when in fact keeping moisture in the air while you sleep will really help to prevent your skin from drying out, so don’t just use that humidifier when you’re not feeling well, integrate it into your daily nighttime skin care routine.

Get Enough Hours

Finally, another often overlooked ingredient in the best nighttime skincare routine is being kind to yourself by making sure that you get at least 8 hours of relaxing sleep every night.

A good night’s sleep, doesn’t just recharge your batteries and remove the psychological stresses of the day, when we’re sleeping our blood vessels dilate to allow more oxygen and nutrients to flow to the skin, to help remove toxins, and our cells actually go into overdrive to help repair any damage caused by the sun, pollution and stress during our waking hours, all of which will also greatly improve the health of your skin.

Be kind to your skin at nighttime – follow a simple skincare routine and choose Cardea Luxe Radiance Eye Cream, to give yourself the best opportunity to awake with a radiant, younger skin while you’re dreaming the hours away.
