Preventative Measures Du Jour 6.10.09

I am so crazy. I am 24...yes 24, turning 25 in November anyway, I hate wrinkles and I already see some popping up. I have promised myself I would start using this on a consistent basis and I have now for 2 months and I do see it making a difference. Better to Prevent then Treat. I am sure I will be having a go with Botox in my future :)



Kiehls Imperiale Repairateur Moisturizing Eye Balm $22.50
  • With Pure Vitamins A and E Oil
  • Treats, moisturizes and protects dry skin around eyes
  • Extremely rich, emollient
  • Good for overnight use
  • Not tested on animals
Anyhoo- I really like this Eye Cream. It has a thick balm like consistency, not creamy, just balmy. It take a few minutes to fully soak in. I use this as night as it is too greasy for daytime. This is definitely a night time treatment for your eyes. I wake up with very soft and moisturized skin around my eyes and that is the point. It is unscented which I really like, because I do not want scents or perfumes on the skin around my eyes. As the skin around eyes is much for delicate and sensitive. I also love that it is not tested on animals like some other skincare brands :( All in all, this is a good product for $22.50, I do not consider this an HG though. I also wouldn't recommend this for Oily skin.


What are your preventative measures?

  1. I use Dermalogica Power firm and I love it. Like you though I wouldn't consider it as a HG but I like it whilst my skin is still "young" (term used loosly!) x

  2. The only thing I would be worried about with a rish balm under my eyes is puffiness...I have hereditory dark circles(I can thank my mum for that!) and if I use anything too thick then my eyes just puff up. I take it you didn't experience anything like that with this product?

  3. Lip- I have dark circles too! But no puffiness with this!

  5. Argh - I've got a good few years on you, and finding a preventative measure has been on my list of things to do for several years now. Perhaps this cream is a good place to start!

  7. I'm a huge fan of kiehl's...I haven't bought anything from them lately, but I'll probably ask for a sample of this...I love balmy type under eye products, I normally use Vaseline...isn't that nuts? But I really like it, but this sounds like a nice step up lol

  8. Aleksis- Actually this has the same consistency, so you might really like this. A sample is a great idea.

  9. I went for my first facial at a medical spa..amazing...I am using an antiaging line right now by dermaquest. Amazing stuff but I will not be buying the whole line. One of the serums is 193.00. crazy. I will be buying full size glycolic cleanser and one of the serums. I think a couple of good antiaging products along with lots of sunscreen should fit the bill..

  12. Hi beautiful lady!!!
    I have been reading your blog and Its really exciting and inspiring!
    I am Marijo from Argentina, South America.
    We don´t have all the brands or products you mention sometimes.
    BTW I love Kiehl´s. I havent tried this one but now I am using the avocado´s one, from Kiehl´s of course. Its really creamy and a jar lasts a lot of time.
    I also use the whipped eye lotus cream from KenzoKi...Its really amazing!!!
    I wanna invite you to see my blog but its in Spanish :(...but if you want to take a look at it you are welcome of course.
    Have a great day!
    xoxo
    Marijo
