One usually notices the first signs of aging on our skin. As we age, our skin becomes less resilient and often tends to become dry and begins to wrinkle. As the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin on the body and constantly active while we’re awake (we blink around 10,000 times every day), it’s more fragile, more prone to dryness, and quicker to show signs of age.
 
Reduced collagen that can be caused by sun-exposed aged skin can also contribute to wrinkles by weakening the bond between skin layers as we get older, and, with that loss of collagen, an increasing number of wrinkles ensue, while some areas of the skin, particularly around the eyes, begin to get less firm.
 
Our revitalising eye cream is a superfood that is enriched with vitamins and added nutrients.
 
With added Shea butter, which has been called a “skin superfood.” It’s derived from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea tree and is naturally high in vitamins A and E, as well as offering some natural UV protection. It provides essential fatty acids and nutrition to the skin that’s important for collagen production, and contains linolenic, stearic, oleic and palmitic acids which protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. Its rich concentration of vitamins and fatty acids also make it outstanding for remedying dry skin, keeping it nourished and moisturized, while also reducing inflammation.
 
 
Aloe vera gel to naturally moisturize, protect and heal the skin. The gel is extracted directly from the leaves of the aloe plant and contains 18 amino acids which work together to soothe and heal dry skin. It’s particularly beneficial for wrinkles and dryness, thanks to its high level of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, B12 and vitamin E along with zinc, calcium, magnesium, proteins and amino acids which help to battle free radicals that can speed the signs of aging like wrinkling. It also helps return moisture to the skin with its humectant abilities, keeping the skin more 
smooth and supple, while also offering anti-inflammatory effects that help to lessen puffy under-eye bags and even dark circles.
 
Jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is one of the top anti-aging oils out there. It’s also one of the most hydrating, yet it hydrates without leaving the skin oily. It’s rich with many beneficial nutrients, like vitamin E, vitamin B, chromium, zinc, and copper, and it’s also very similar to something known as sebum, an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands in the skin. As we age, these microscopic glands produce less sebum, which is why we get dry skin. That makes jojoba oil particularly beneficial as it takes on the role sebum does by keeping the skin moisturized naturally when the body does not. The oil is also unique in that it’s good for oily skin and acne too, as it’s able to remove excess oil and sticky buildup.
 
Jojoba oil moisturizes by forming an oily layer on the skin that traps water, eliminating or reducing dry skin that’s caused by water loss in the skin’s upper layer. It also prevents scaly, rough patches, and irritation. Its antioxidants help to soothe fine lines, reduce wrinkles and naturally slow other signs of aging too.
 
Vitamin E is an essential nutrient and an antioxidant that’s highly beneficial for the skin, particularly when combined with other antioxidants such as those offered in the recipe here. It helps to fight against free radicals and other environmental damaging effects. It also treats wrinkles by boosting collagen production, which is important for skin tone and elasticity, as well as supporting new skin cell growth and speeding cell regeneration.
 
And added to this our uniquely customised essential oil blend of Apricot nourishes the skin and lowers the appearance of face wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes (that's the Vitamin C and E working in partnership), Bergamot and Grapefruit for their anti-inflammatory properties that tones and tightens the skin, to alleviate dark circled and underbag puffiness and Lavender which is non-irritating and soothing to the skin.
