The Best Eye Treatment for Tired Eyes

The best eye treatment

Hi beauties, how you've been lately?

Did quarantine make you have enough time to sleep and take a rest at home? Or instead, it made your sleep time being disorganized? For me, this quarantine life really "destroyed" my daily routines especially my bedtime. At the beginning, I slept late because of watching Korean drama. I had no idea what should I do at that time so I just keep watching TV series (especially Korean drama) on Netflix day and night. After couple months, I have a new desire to build a new business. So I was working on it until midnight, and even sometimes I didn't sleep because I had a lot of things to do. At the end, I realized that my eyes looks very tired. I could see my dark circle was getting worse and I hate to see it.

Well, I realized it's not only because of my new "job". As I was saying at the previous post, I didn't take care of my skin at all during quarantine. I was too lazy to do it. But looking at how bad my skin was, I tried to fix it and started to do a complete skincare routine again. But this time, I’m not gonna write about my full skincare routine. Instead, I will write about treatment that I do for my eyes. I have 3 favorite products for tired eyes, and I will write about it completely below.

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme

Eye cream is the most basic treatment for eyes, and it's something that you must use everyday. Eyes is the part of your face that get aging rapidly. Some peoples -including me- got aging signs such as dark circle and fine lines around eyes at the young ages. Therefore, eye cream is as important as other skincare. I’ve tried many eye cream before, and currently I fell for Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme. With Vitamin C and collagen as its ingredients, this eye cream can solve any problems around your eyes such as dark circle, wrinkles, and puffiness. It’s really good especially if you don’t have enough time to sleep which cause your eyes looks tired. 

Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask

Have you ever use sleeping mask on your night skincare routine? If you have, you must be know how it is work during your bedtime. I never forget to use sleeping mask twice a week, and I love the result which make my skin very hydrated. Sleeping mask works really well while you sleep and give extra hydration. That's what I got by using Laneige Sleeping Mask at night. Being success with sleeping mask product, Laneige has launched another great products which are Lip Sleeping Mask and Eye Sleeping Mask. I've write the review about how lip sleeping mask solved the problem at my lips, and now I gonna write about eye sleeping mask.

Like other "sleeping mask" products, I use eye sleeping mask while I was sleeping during night time. This product used as a replacement of eye cream. While in the morning I use eye cream, at night I use eye sleeping mask. The thing that makes me love this product is the applicator which is a ceramic ball. It has a cooling sensation, and it's good for tired eyes. When I use it, I put the ceramic ball onto the area around my eyes, and do some circular motion. After that, I also give a little massage with my finger around to help the dark circle disappear. 

Besides the applicator, I'd said that Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask has a good formula in it. I've bought the travel size before and used it while traveling. As you know, while traveling we'd have a less bedtime and it made our eyes looks tired. However, since I used Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask, I didn't have that tired looking eyes during the trip. And that's the reason why I bought the full size and use it every night.

Heimish Hydrogel Eye Patch Bulgarian Rose Water

The last product that I use for my eyes is an eye patch. It comes from Heimish which is a Korean brand for skincare. I never used eye patch before and I didn't even know it was exist. Until I watched a beauty blogger introduced this product at social media and it looks promising. I bought it immediately and tried to use it. Since the first usage, I felt this eye patch was really refreshing my tired eyes. It has a cooling sensation and a rose scent which are relaxing. The formula also really helps to hydrate the skin area around my eyes. Every time my eyes looks very tired, I always use this eye patch and after that it looks much better. Besides, Heimish Hydrogel Eye Patch also contains Niacinamide which usually can be found at brightening skincare. So hopefully, with regular use it can get rid of my dark circles.

Well, that's all the eye treatment that I use lately to help me with the tired eyes problem. But using all those treatment doesn't mean you can sleep late anytime you want. You still need enough time to sleep because when you sleep, your skin also "take a rest" and it will looks fresh -naturally- after you wake up.

Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

My favorite skincare from Ole Henriksen

Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Cream

It's November already, which means 1 month to go to the busiest month of the year. Final exams,  Christmas, winter holiday, and there are more things to prepare at this time. However, in between my full schedule, I make a little time to write this blogpost, because I'm so amazed with this beauty product. Well, it comes from my favorite brand (lately), which is Ole Henriksen. After I feel a good result from Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel, I started to search more about other products from this brand. I've tried the eye cream which works very well on me (click here to read more about it), and then I found something that sounds great from this American beauty brand. It's Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme. I heard about this product last year, precisely at December 2018. At that time, it was a new product and luckily, I could find it easily at Sephora Australia. Another luck for me, at that moment I was having holiday in Sydney. So I didn't want to missed any chance with this interesting product, and I just put it on my shopping basket. Yup, I'm a #beautyaddict

Price at Sephora Australia - AUD $90

Looking at the picture above, you might be shock with the price. $90 for a jar of night cream, it's not cheap at all. Therefore, I put a big expectation on this product. And as I was saying, it didn't disappointed at all. Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme is a cream that you use at night, during your sleep time. As you know, when you're sleeping at night, your skin will be at "repair mode", and it will looks fresher in the morning. This sleeping cream helps to maximize the process by exfoliating the skin surface and make it glowing. It contains AHA and bakuchiol - which is a plant based alternative to retinol. With this formula, the usage of this cream can be used to treat any signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and freckles.

The ingredients of Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

Besides those main ingredients, this sleeping creme also contains Edelweiss stem cell which helps to firm and improve elasticity. Therefore, after use this cream overnight, you can see the result right at the next morning. A bright, glowing and deeply hydrated skin - is yours.

Why I love Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme?
First, of course because if the result which I could see immediately. Second, it's because of the smell. The smell of this cream is absolutely lovely. It comes with sweet fragrance - like a bubble gum I guess, which is good to relax your mind while you're sleeping. And can you see the color? It's purple! How cute it is. It's the first time for me to see a skincare with purple color. The texture is quite thick and greasy, but it's still acceptable and perfect for night usage when you're skin needs to be more hydrated.

It has light purple color and thick texture

Will I repurchase this sleeping cream?
Yes. Of course. Definitely. So far Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme is my favorite night skin care, and I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it too.

I got new skin problems when I'm going 30, and this is how I treat it (Part 1 : Wrinkles)

My new skincare products

Have you read my previous blogpost?? Well, at that post I wrote that I have a lot of beauty content that I'd write on my blog. I had this because of one reason : Lately I got so much problem on my skin, and I need to change (almost all) my skincare. It's been few months for me to try those new skincare, and I'm ready to review all of them. For the next few days, I'll write some posts about reviews of those products, based on the problems that I had. This topic will be divided into 3 parts, where each parts will discuss about 1 problem. First, I'll write about the main problems that I really worry about, and I didn't expect to get it when I'm going 30.

Fine lines, smile lines, wrinkles
OK, I start with the worst skin problem, which I shouldn't get on my age (I just 27). But these things are real!! I had fine lines before (precisely few years ago), and I could get rid of them by using SK II Facial Treatment Essence. Ever since then, I never forget to put this product into my skincare routine.

A few months ago, I started to see a smile line appearance on my face, and it's really disturbing. It always make a crack after few hours I wear make up and its horrible. Not just that, I also spot some fine lines under my eyes, which also disturbing as well. Since I saw these lines, I changed my skincare from brightening products into anti aging products. At this point I realized one thing,

"Step into 30 years old, you need skincare with anti aging effects more than brightening effects. Because you can use make up to make your face looks brighten instantly, but it's really hard to cover wrinkle and any fine lines on your face."

Therefore, I changed my serum and also my eye cream. For the serum, I use Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum in the morning and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for at night. These products known as the best anti aging skincare with medium range price (not cheap but also not too expensive), compared to other brand such as SK II. These serums work really well, and they reduce the appearance of smile lines. I love Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior - because as you can read on its name, it contains moisturizer and serum in 1 bottle. So it's perfect to be used at the morning rush. However, this product is not really hydrating. Therefore, I use other product for at night, which more hydrating - Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Best serum for at night : Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

To be honest, I've been eyeing on this product for a long time. Almost everyone put this serum on their night skincare routine. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair promising to treat any skin problems, while you're sleeping at night. Smoother, more radiant, and younger look, those sounds amazing and I really need it. As people said, this serum is really works. I wake up every morning with smooth and bright skin, and it also helps to reduce the fine lines. However, there's one thing that I don't like from this serum, it's the smell. There's no any fragrance added on this serum, so the smell comes from the main ingredients and it's not good. It smells like rubber or plastic, and sometimes it makes me almost throw up. But since this product really works to treat my skin problems, I'll keep using it and put it on my night skincare routine.

The jar size of Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream is so "mini". Easy to bring for traveling.

Besides serum, I also change my eye cream. As you know, my very first eye cream was SK II Stempower Eye Cream - which really can be used to reduce wrinkle around my eyes, and then I changed into Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream - which known as an eyecream that helps to loose dark circle. Well, this time I try new eye cream which promising could get rid of any problems around your eyes such as dark circle, wrinkle, and even puffy eyes. It's Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme. At the first time I was really surprised to see the "Before - After" picture of this eye cream. I have these problems for years and I still couldn't find any eye cream that could fix it. Therefore, when I found out about this eye cream, I have feelings it can help me out. And it's true! Even though still there's some fine lines, but the dark circle under my eyes start to disappeared. I've use this eye cream for a month, and it shows a good progress. So far this is the best eye cream I ever tried, and I think it's gonna be my favorite eye cream.

Exfoliate & hydrate at the same time with Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel

Ole Henriksen Instant Transformation Lemon Facial Peel

Hola.. 

This time I have a very very great news for you, who have a dry skin type. So, I just found a new skincare product, which can exfoliate and hydrate your skin at the same time. WOW!! I know, it sounds amazing right?? The product that I was talking about is Instant Transformation Lemon Facial Peel by Ole Henriksen.

This brand might be not familiar for you, unless you're a skincare addict which have a good knowledge about all skincare brands. I also never heard about this brand before, until I went to Canada last summer, and visited Sephora stores. Ole Henriksen doesn't have many variant for its products, but all products that they have looks promising. I started to googling about their bestseller products and also the reviews. I found several products from Ole Henriksen that really works for some peoples, and decided to give them a try. One of them is this facial peel, which promising for brightening effect.

Clear gel texture of Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel

Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel comes with a clear gel texture, and I could find a very strong smell of lemon in it. This facial peel also comes with a round brush, that can be used to spread this gel on your face. To give a brightening effect, it used glycolic and lactic acids (AHAs) which are good to resurface skin texture and skin tone as well. Not just for brightening, this facial peel also can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkle which I really need right now.

How to use?
Take an enough amount of the facial peel with brush. Apply it on your face that has been cleaned and let it create a thin layer on it. Wait for 10 minutes. At this time your skin will start to tingle, but that's fine. It's just an indication that the formula is getting to work. After 10 minutes, clean with lukewarm water.

After do all of those simple steps, you'll feel an instant transformation on your face. Your skin become very smooth and also looks brighten. At this moment, I like to keep touching my face because it feels very clean, but it's not dry at all.

To be honest, I barely buy an exfoliating producs because usually it will make my skin get drier. However, since I always tempted with brightening products, I decided to try this and I was really surprised with the result. Unlike other peeling products which mostly cause a redness, tight skin, and even a flaky skin, this Ole Henriksen lemon facial peel is very hydrating.

Anyway, even though this facial peel can be used for hydrating, but you still need a moisturizer after peeling. And don't forget to follow with sunscreen in the morning. Because this product contains Alpha Hydroxil Acid (AHA) which can increase your skin's sensitivity with sun, and also there's a possibility it cause a sunburn. To reduce this effect, I use this facial peel only once a week, and I just use it at night. But I still use SPF every morning to protect my skin from the sun light.

Overall, I just want to say this Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel is a must have item for everyone, especially if you have a dry skin type. I'd said that it's the first product which can be used to exfoliate and hydrate at the same time that I found, and I like, and I will always repurchase it.
