Round and round in dark circles

Feb 17 2008

by Pauline Holt, Sunday Sun

 

IN my continuing bid to find a product to combat the signs of sleep deprivation — those giveaway dark circles under my eyes — I tested SkinVitals Eye Brighten Cloth Eye Treatment Mask, £2.99.

It certainly made my skin feel soft and moisturised, and contains rejuvenating ginger and lemon and a touch of toning and firming collagen. But I have to say, it didn’t rid me of my dark circles, not even when combined with the eye-lift eye treatment mask, also £2.99. But as a relaxing, moisture-boosting mask for a home spa session, they’re a nice treat. Available from Boots stores on a buy-one-get-one-free offer until the end of April.

SKINCARE specialist Estee Lauder have unveiled Revelation Age Resisting Brightening Cream — £28 for 30ml — a new moisturiser formulated with vitamin C.

Their Revelation range was developed to help skin support its natural collagen stores.

It’s aimed at women who are beginning to detect a change in their skin — dullness, freckling, or the onset of fine lines — and the blurb says it’s for those looking for “a bit more muscle” from their daily moisturiser.

Yet, having tried this cream for around three weeks, I have to say I’ve had better results from lower-priced moisturisers. It is advertised as a lightweight cream but feels a little too light for me. If you’re looking for your jar to last a couple of months, this wouldn’t be your first choice.

ORGANICS Nourishing Face Lotion — £31 for 30ml — is a lightweight moisturiser and is 95 per cent organic, so it’s packed with the feel-good factor before it goes near your face.

It smells herby and natural, immediately smoothing the skin with lashings of those organic ingredients. On the skin, it feels richer than you’d expect from its lightweight texture and, after a few weeks’ use, has made my skin feel revitalised and healthy.

— ALLAN BOUGHEY
