G.L.A. Eye Balm
At a Glance
Physical Description:
Almond-colored,
non-irritating, fine, lightweight cream that contains optimal levels of
Gamma Linoleic Acid (G.L.A.)—found in evening primrose oil—along with
beneficial plant extracts and vitamin E, specifically formulated for the
delicate eye area.
Primary Benefit:
This luxuriously rich moisturizer does not leave a greasy residue. It
provides a perfect, silky-smooth, matte base for eye make-up. Helps plump
up the skin around the eye area making lines and wrinkles less noticeable.
Primary Ingredients:
Evening
Primrose oil, vitamin E, Lady’s Thistle, chamomile, aloe and allantoin.
Skin Types / Conditions:
All skin
types, except those with particularly sensitive skin around the eyes.
When to use:
Daily, in the morning
only.
Features:
- Contains G.L.A. (gamma linoleic acid) derived from evening primrose
flowers. G.L.A. is known to increase the permeability and flexibility of
cell membranes and help regulate water loss. Because the skin around the
eyes is so thin and virtually devoid of sebaceous glands, it tends to be
the first area to show signs of aging. Fine laugh-lines and the
beginnings of crow’s feet can become a problem even as early as the
mid-twenties. Therefore, it is never too early to begin protecting the
eye area with G.L.A. Eye Balm.
- Contains lecithin. A hydrophilic ingredient that attracts water and
acts as a moisturizer. Lecithin is a natural emollient, emulsifier and
anti-oxidant obtained for cosmetic purposes from eggs and soybeans.
- Contains vitamin E in the form of tocopheryl acetate. Vitamin E is
believed to improve the skin’s water-binding ability. It is also the
only anti-oxidant known to help prevent lipid peroxidation—one of the
major causes of skin aging.
- Contains allantoin, a natural derivative of the comfrey
plant—recognized for its ability to heal wounds and stimulate growth of
healthy skin.
- Contains azulene. Extracted from chamomile flowers, it is an
excellent anti-inflammatory agent that helps calm and soothe the skin.
- Contains Lady’s Thistle. Extracts from the seeds provide powerful
anti-oxidants that help fight the free radicals which destroy the
integrity of healthy skin cells.
Benefits:
- A deficiency of natural G.L.A. may allow too much water to be lost
through the skin. When this happens, the skin around the eyes can
quickly develop fine dehydration lines and tiny surface wrinkles.
Regular use of G.L.A. Eye Balm will help reduce dry skin that
accentuates the appearance of lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.
- A super-moisturizing, skin conditioning formulation that helps trap
moisture. This helps to create a youthful looking brow contour by adding
fullness to the cushion of skin just beneath the brow bone.
- G.L.A. Eye Balm’s rich blend of natural moisturizing ingredients
helps rehydrate the dry, delicate areas around the eyes, helping to
restore smoother, healthier looking skin and more youthful looking eyes.
- Can be used by both men and women.
- The G.L.A. Eye Balm enhances the effectiveness of the vitamin C in
the Cellex-C Eye Contour Gel. Used in tandem, these products help create
younger, smoother, skin around the eye area.
- G.L.A. Eye Balm does not leave a greasy residue. The formulation
provides a silky-smooth matte base, perfect for eye make-up.
- Benefits can be seen within 3 weeks of daily use.
Directions:
- Cleanse and tone.
- Apply Cellex-C Eye Contour Gel (Optional).
- Apply a thin layer of G.L.A. Eye Balm to outer eye area, the eyebrow
bone and the socket under the eyes.
- Avoid eyelids and the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
Note:
Never apply skin
care products around the eyes at night as they can contribute to fluid
retention and puffy eyelids. Use only as part of the morning regime.
