Hi everyone

After speaking to my beauty therapist about those fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area she tells me I'm not using the right products and most only work on the top layers and I need a good professional range which works into the bottom layers of the skin.

Anyone any views on this? As much as I'd love to try her professional range my purse just doesn't allow me at the moment but it's just made me think is my eye cream doing anything to help reduce those fine lines/wrinkles if it's not getting into the bottom layers of the skin?

Looking forward too your views 🙂

Well, as I am sure you know, the bottom layer of skin is the fat section. Since all we see is the superficial top layer anyway, as long as the cream is operating on this level - why would it then matter about deeper penetration?

I get the feeling that this beauty therapist is out to make profit from her products....(no kidding! :p) If in doubt, you would get a more unbiaised reply from a dermatologist.

Ask her how many Daltons the products contain! A Dalton is the unit of measure for molecular mass - only fine molecules will penetrate through the skin layers and enter the bloodstream. Most of the unctions we apply to our skin contain equal measures of oil and water and added emulsifier, which keep the surface layer moist and 'plumb', reducing the appearance of wrinkles - but you have to keep using the products which contributes to sales!!!!

I've been there, done that, and spent a small fortune on my skin in my youth, but am now 58 and happy with my 'lot'. Whenever the question is asked about my age, people are usually at least 10 years out - in the right direction!!!! I have used Clinique Day Moisturiser for about 40 years, and when that runs out, I use E45. I am told I look like my Mum, my gran and my great-gran - and they were very attractive women - wrinkles and all - so I take it as a compliment!

10 years ago, I posted on here how I was having problems with dry skin and had tried pretty much every shelf and OTC cream. Someone suggested that I should try drinking more fluids (of a non-alcoholic kind) to moisturise from the inside out. Since then I've not had any skin problems. And on those rare days when I don't have enough fluids, my skin starts to dry.

Thanks everyone - yeah she's probably just thinking on her pocket and a friend suggested I drink more water as well - but as I'm the worse water drinker in the world I'm not sure I can cope with the 8 glasses per day! I'm sure a little bit of diluting orange is allowed!! :rolleyes:

Ofcourse having lot of water will help to reduce dryness. May your dermatologist told so to fill her pocket but if the dryness is so hard it’s better to have some clinical skin care with some experienced dermatologist or who have [DLMURL="http://www.aestheticadvancements.com/clinical-skin-care/"]completed clinical skin care courses[/DLMURL].

I think very few beauty product work on your screen and some of them don't work. My skin is very dry in nature. I use [url]skin brightening products[/url] to make my skin glow. My skin is becoming more healthier and glowing than ever before.
