Making the Most of Facial Moisturizers

Let"s face it. When you were younger you could slap on any old facial cream and your skin would look and feel pretty good. However, as you age, it becomes more important to be choosy about what kind of facial moisturizers you select. The dryness you"re experiencing now is much different from the dryness you experienced when you were younger. Making the most of facial moisturizers means using products that are specifically designed to treat the cause of this dryness.


Men's Eye Gel Removes Dark Circles Under Eyes

For an Eye Gel to be different let alone new is quite a statement. Why? Because it removes dark circles under eyes.  And this eye contour gel does it safely and effectively.  Puffiness is gone.  Dark circles are removed or greatly reduced.   Most skin care products of this type simply don"t work or may cause allergic reactions.


How to Help a Friend Choose Perfume

 

Over time, I"ve developed a system for helping people find a perfume. I"m offering it up here for your use, and I welcome suggestions for improvement.

 

When someone asks me to help her find a scent, I first ask her what kind of fragrances she likes. (To keep pronouns simple, I"ll assume that the perfume-seeker is a woman.) Usually she will tell me what she doesn"t like ð€” patchouli, for instance, or powdery scents. Then, I ignore what she says. I am, however, careful to avoid these hot-button words when offering up fragrances to try.

 

Next, I do a silent appraisal of the friend asking my advice. Is she likely to become immersed in perfume, or does she simply want something nice to spray on for special occasions? If her only perfume is a dusty bottle of Issey Miyake Eau d"Issey, and it seems like she"d be content with an unfussy bottle or two of something new, then I do another assessment. Does she want a bottle to brag about, or could she not care less who makes her perfume?

 

For the woman who isn"t likely to ever want to know a green chypre from an aldehydic floral, and is happy to be able to buy it at a department store (a high end department store, in this case), I often suggest Jo Malone. People who aren"t really into fragrance often seem to prefer smelling things they can identify. The simple but intriguing combinations that Jo Malone puts together range from fresh to romantic. What they lack in sultry complexity they make up for in friendliness. After wearing Jo Malone for a while, the friend might even venture into more "perfumey" scents. Either way, she"ll smell wonderful. Other terrific gateway fragrances are the Guerlain Aqua Allegorias and Stella McCartney Stella.

 

For the woman who isn"t all that into perfume but wants to feel she has the "right" scent and won"t be looked down on by her fashionista friends, Serge Lutens Chergui, and L"Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia are good choices. They"re easy to love for someone inexperienced with perfume, but hard to find, giving them extra cachet. But they"re not so simple that she"d get bored with them or so hard to find that she won"t be able to buy them. She might enjoy exploring the Comme des GarÃÙons line, too.

 

The other direction to go with the image-conscious friend who likes perfume but isn"t obsessed by it is to try a masculine scent. Not realizing that perfume lovers have been buying across the aisle for years, a lot of women find this idea appealingly anarchic. Guerlain Vetiver is a good jumping off point. If she recoils at the vetiver, try Knize Ten, Chanel Egoïste, or Christian Dior Homme. You"ll look forward to spending time with her, she"ll smell so good.
