I was reading my favorite magazine, Real Simple, the other day, and I found an ad for a new Garnier eye cream called Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage Daily Eye Cream with SPF 15. Now, I see ads for new eye products all the time, but what struck me about this one is that it said “the first eye product recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation!” There was a disclaimer stating that it’s the first eye product that is sold in food, drug and mass merchandise retailers to be recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, but it’s still impressive!
I’m always surprised at how many eye wrinkle creams don’t have sun protection in them. Sun damage is the leading cause of premature wrinkles. Since the eye area is the thinnest area on the face and often the first to show signs of aging, it’s a great idea to wear sunscreen around your eyes to keep the eye wrinkles away as long as possible. This Garnier eye cream contains lycopene and sunscreen to protect against wrinkle-causing sun damage, magnesium to hydrate the skin, and powerful antioxidant vitamin C to stimulate skin cell regeneration and collagen production. So, it protects and corrects!
For the best all-over sun protection, I recommend using this Garnier eye cream with
Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Lotion SPF 15. With many of the same ingredients as the Garnier eye cream, this facial lotion is a great addition to your anti aging arsenal. Apply the Garnier eye cream first, and then follow with this moisturizing lotion during the day to protect your entire face from wrinkle-causing sun damage.
I think this Garnier eye cream and facial lotion are particularly beneficial for younger skin, such as people in their late 20s and early to mid 30s. This is because the creams are lightweight, and they don’t contain some of the power eye cream ingredients that I think are necessary for more mature skin, such as retinol. For younger skin, it’s more important to hydrate and protect to lessen future damage, rather than using heavy creams formulated to reduce eye wrinkles on mature skin.
