Eye cream for the truly knackered

They say that 30 is the new 20. True, but at the same time, with a four month old baby and sleepless nights, I can't ignore the wrinkles and bags that have developed around my eyes.  I definitely never had these at 20.

Clarins Advanced Extra Firming Eye Contour Cream came recommended to me by a Clarins beauty consultant in preparation for motherhood. The product claims to 'lift, firm and tone' those wrinkles around eyes and 'reduce signs of fatigue'. I've found that this product noticeably does what it says on the tin. Even after just three hours of sleep (on a good night!), my eyes are not saggy or puffy and wrinkles are tighter and firmer. I find my eye contours look hydrated in the morning. Its lightweight texture doesn't drag the skin or leave my eyes feeling heavy. It took a bit of time before I started to notice any difference but all it needs is a little patience. It's expensive, but just a small amount is needed every night before bed so it lasts for a long time.

Just dab some on gently around eye contours, the 'dabbing' action also helps reduce bags under the eyes.

Remember to be realistic though - it won't take your wrinkles away but for me it really helps lessen my tired look. I team this product with drinking plenty of water throughout the day and a good night cream for a refreshed look in the morning.
