5 Top Beauty Buys To Anti-age Your Eyes
“Our eye area can be the first place to betray our tiredness, age and also our hangovers” says Q+A Development Chemist + Skincare Expert Faye Purcell. “The products we use under and around our eyes don’t necessarily adhere to skin types in quite the same way as most of our other products, so picking the right one for you requires you to get to know your skin a little better”
Beat Dark Circles
Q+A CAFFEINE EYE SERUM, £6.50 – if your under-eye area is puffy and suffers from dark panda circles, try a caffeine kick eye product. Caffeine helps improve and stimulate circulation, which in turn speeds up skin repair and minimises dark circles. Also blending refreshing cucumber water, antioxidant pomegranate and soothing and protecting green tea, this one is suited to bleary eyes that need a morning refresh. Plus, the roller ball applicator cleverly works to give the eye area a mini massage leaving it firm and toned.
