Aestival™ Skin Firming Eye Gel STEP 4
Ever wake up to puffy, tired-looking eyes? Now there's relief for the delicate skin around your eyes. Aestival's Firming Eye Gel helps relieve puffy eyes while smoothing and retoning the skin's texture for a more youthful, radiant look.
Firming Eye Gel has been carefully formulated with valuable liposomes, which can penetrate your skin easily to bring moisture, emolliency and other nourishment to the targeted site. Infusions of chamomile soothe the skin and other beneficial ingredients help the skin hold moisture and restores its natural health and glow. No artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances. Aestival products are never tested on animals.
Facial Care Strategy:
To maximize the effectiveness of your daily skin regimen, perform the more extensive steps - deep cleansing, exfoliation and deep-pore moisturizers - in the evening before you retire. That gives the products about eight hours to work without interference from perspiration, the sun or other factors.
In the morning, quickly refresh your skin by cleansing, nourishing and protecting.
Directions for Use:
Gently massage a small amount into skin around eyes and allow one minute for complete absorption. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with cool water. Follow immediately with the Aestival Protective Moisture Creme, step five.
Skin is the largest organ in the body, both by weight and surface area. In adults, the weight of your skin accounts for about 16% of your total body weight. The skin separates the internal environment from the external. The skin serves as a barrier to the environment, protects us from water loss, protects us from UV rays of the sun, produces vitamin D, helps regulate body temperature, helps regulate metabolism and has aesthetic qualities. However, skin diseases and infections can compromise that barrier.
The skin is composed of several layers. The lowest layer is called the dermis. This layer is composed of a connective tissue, blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, and sweat and oil glands. The outermost or top layer of skin is called the epidermis. This is the layer of skin we see. This layer rests on top of the dermis. The thickness of the epidermis varies with your age, your sex, and the location on the body of the skin. For example, the epidermis on the underside of the forearm is about five cell-layers thick. On the sole of the foot, the epidermis might be 30 cell-layers thick. The epidermis is, for the most part, impermeable to water.
The epidermis consists of many layers:
The stratum corneum, or outer layer. This layer is made of flattened epithelial cells in multiple layers. These layers are called keratinized layers because of the buildup of the protein keratin in those cells. Keratin is a strong protein that is specific to the skin, hair and nails. This layer of skin is, for the most part, dead. It is composed of cells that are almost pure protein.
The translucent, or transitional layer. This is a translucent, thin layer of cells. This layer is sometimes visible in thick skin; however, nuclei and other organelles are not visible. The cytoplasm (the amorphous area between the nucleus and the outer membrane of the cell) is mostly made of keratin filaments.
The suprabasal layers. This is three to five layers of flattened polygonal cells that have granules in the cytoplasm. Below them is a layer of cube-shaped cells that also contain bundles of keratin filaments.
The basal or cell-division layer. This layer is just above the basement membrane and the dermis. It is a single layer of cells that undergo cell division to renew the upper layers of the epidermis.
The human epidermis is renewed every 15-30 days. Proper surface nutrition feeds the cells of the basal layer. Exfoliation will remove dry or damaged skin of the outer layer to allow newer cells to be visible.
Q. Can the Firming Eye Gel cause irritation to my eyes?
A. When applied properly, the Firming Eye Gel should not cause any irritation. To avoid irritation, be sure to use a small amount of the Firming Eye Gel and gently massage it in so there is no visible excess. As always, use caution when applying products around the eyes and avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse with cool water. If you're using Firming Eye Gel as directed and you experience irritation, discontinue use.
Q. If I wear contacts, can I use the Firming Eye Gel?
A. Yes. Our Firming Eye Gel should not irritate eyes with contacts. When applied correctly, it should not come close enough to the eyes to affect them. If this or any other facial care product gets into your eyes, rinse with cool water.
Q. Can I use the Firming Eye Gel on my eyelids and the area above them?
A. The Firming Eye Gel is only recommended for use underneath your eyes and around the outside corners of the eyes.
Q. The formula appears shiny. Will it stay that way on skin?
A. After you have correctly applied the gel into your skin and allowed one minute for complete absorption, there should be no visible signs of the formula. If formula remains, you may have applied too much and should reduce the amount used in the future.
