I’m guessing a few Canadian hockey fans were out celebrating last night (hint, hint: Sunday’s gold medal game). And if you throw in the Canadian Women’s Hockey team also taking the gold, that’s some solid partying time. So for those of you that barely slept a wink as the Olympic games came to a close, I have a few green tricks up my sleeve that will get you back in work mode, well looking like you are in work mode anyways…
Rejuvenate and Firm Your Eye Area
To rejuvenate and firm your eye area, hydrate with the fragrance free formula of Weleda Wild Rose Intensive Eye Cream from Beautorium. Euphrasia soothes tired and strained eyes while Organic Rosehip Oil and Orpine help to diminish wrinkles and reduce puffiness. Specially formulated for the delicate eye area, you can use this day or night.
Feel free to feel good about fixing your puffies with this product. Weleda is a pretty neat company that aims to recognize beauty, but above that they aim to actively cultivate beauty. This is accomplished through biodynamic farming methods, in addition to the development of fair trade partnerships. Plus, Weleda grows over 300 certified organic Demeter ingredients in it’s own biodynamic gardens around the world. Their products are certified natural by the BDIH (the Association of German Industries and Trading Firms for pharmaceuticals, health care products, food supplements and personal hygiene products), and Weleda USA helped pioneer the new NPA (Natural Products Association) USA standard together with Burt’s Bees. Not to shabby, eh?
Keep the Water Coming
If you chose to engage in the above-mentioned celebratory lifestyle, you can’t skip out on the water. Water keeps your skin hydrated, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Not to mention water improves circulation and blood flow, all of which keep skin radiant. Aim for eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (yes water, not Molson), and a few more glasses if you throw in a night or two out.
Free Face Fixes
Don’t forget about free face fixes. I’ve been told that crushed up ice in a washcloth can be applied to under eyes to instantly reduce eye puffiness. Not bad for a little frozen water and cloth.
Now this week don’t disregard your beauty rest. When it comes down to it, nothing beats a good night of sleep.
