I guess cucumber slices aren't cutting it, eh?

The Body Shop used to make a great eye gel, but I don't know if they still carry it.

I have the dark circles under the eyes- no puffiness except for when I cry incessantly.

Do you eat a lot of salt? I heard this contributes to eye puffiness. 

You're right about the salt. It may be one of the reasons for puffiness but I don't use too much salt at home. The problem is that at lunch time I eat at restaurants and you know, we have no control on the amount of salt used.

For a long time I don't use refined salt on food as well. I use instead what is called "the flower of the salt", the first particles that come to the water's surface during the process of crystallization, always in a small amount not only because of it but also because it's better to health.

I know the gel from Body Shop. I've used it in the past, it refreshes the eye area. I think they still carry it.

For dark circles there is a fantastic gel, not very expensive called Innoxa. It's great.

Thanks

I thought of another tip that a friend told me about years ago. She said her ex-mother-in-law used to use Preparation H on her neck and still had a perfect neck well into her seventies. I don't remember to use it every night, but when I do remember, the next morning it does look better.  

I like Dove products. Their original scent bar soap is my favorite scent in soap. Unfortunately, they don't have the same scent in their shower gels. I also use their deodorant. I had a bad allergic reaction to another product and Dove saved me from days and nights of terrible armpit itching. :)

Preparation H is a product for hemorrhiods. It has been suggested for years in the U.S. as an under eyecream. I've never had a hemorrhoid and I don't really want to know too much about them, but apparently Preparation H shrinks them. It supposedly does the same for under the eye and the neck. It tightens those areas, thus making them younger looking.

I never heard of the line you suggested. I wonder if it is available in the U.S. 

Here we have Dove Gel Bath with different scents. I just use the one that says "Dove Original".

For me, it's the best!

Thank you Chick! ;)

It's always good to know those little things.

I will really try this Prep. H.

Thank you all of you.

Do you mean bags under the eyes?

If so, I found the greatest gel I have ever used. It's called "Irilys" from Méthode Jeanne Piaubert.

There's also a night mask to be used daily, during the first 20 days. After that period, once a week it's enough.

It doesn't do miracles but it helps a lot.

for cellulite i really love avon‘s  clinical lift and tuck or the celluscript ( i think that it‘s called.) loreal‘s sublime slim works pretty well, too (but not quite as well.)

i am a big fan of micro-dermabrasion. (any kind) it makes my skin so smooth. i also love salt scrub for the body. i just love exfoliating!

for my face i like avon‘s clinical and anew ultimate. i also like oil of olay regenerist.

i like citre shine for shine, and pantene shampoo and conditioner.

I like to find inexpensive, effective solutions. Dollar Tree (with thousands of locations, go to www.dollartree.com for the ones nearest your zip) were selling an exfoliating glove for a while. Maybe still. The glove looks kind of like stretchy Scotchbrite, but in pastel colors. Use it on your face and your body - it does a great job on the soles of your feet after the skin has softened a bit. If not there, check the discount drug stores (Walgreen‘s, CVS, RiteAid, etc.)

Another idea from Dollar Tree is to buy Lander Baby Bath, which is gentle and contains moisturizing agents - $1 for 16 oz.! Then get a bottle of any hand wash or shampoo or shower gel which has a scent you like. Mix them about half and half, depending on how much fragrance you like - you then have almost a quart of softening body wash for $2! And don‘t forget to use the glove with it...

Next idea was given to me riding the bus to work one day years ago. Melaleuca is the botanical also called Tea Tree Oil. It is a sebum emulsifier, which means that it dissolves the hardened oils in hair follicles and pores that can lead to blemishes and increased oil production in neighboring pores. So buy Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo (or the brand name Melaleuca sold through reps like Amway) and use it to wash your face (and shoulders, if they get oily or break out). I use it on my hair every other wash because it stops my scalp from itching so much when I sweat. Again, don‘t forget to use the glove..!

The above statement seems to be contradictory. The situation is very critical and need an experienced campaigner to resolve it

The best site it is.
