At moon haven we love Calendula... and it is the star in our wonderfully soothing, hypoallergenic eye cream.
You see when I was quite ill with a debilitating auto-immune condition. The delicate skin around my eyes was sore, inflamed, puffy. I looked exhausted and drained.
The delicate area around the eyes just wasn't being served by my moisturiser. Formulating Moon Havens Eye Cream.
So I set about formulating an eye cream that was not only deeply moisturising but helped to soothe the distressed skin.
Of course Calendula -the wonderful flower and herb - was the first ingredient that came to mind. Its strong anti-inflammatory and healing properties lends itself to an eye cream for distressed skin. Adding in rich Evening Primrose, Rose Hip and Jojoba oils made up a wonderfully nurturing formula.
Needless to say my skin loves this cream - along with so many of our wonderful moonies.
Why use an Eye Cream?
The skin under and above your eyes is more delicate, thinner, drier and is often the first areas to show signs of ageing, tiredness and fluid retention. Add on the effects of being in the sun, squinting, and possibly poor lifestyle choices, inadequate sleep and stress... our eye area could do with a little bit of TLC. A good natural hypoallergenic eye cream can visually help to reduce these effects.
What can a good, natural eye cream do for you?
- reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- help reduce puffiness and dark circles below the eyes
- provide targeted moisturisation to the area
- assist with soothe inflamed skin
How do you use eye cream?
- Scoop a small dab of eye cream on the tips of both ring fingers
- Apply a half moon of dots of the cream to both the upper lid and to skin below the eye - from the inner eye to the outer line of the brow bone.
- Use a light, gentle tapping action, work the cream into the skin until it is all absorbed.
