The Perfect Pair: An Eye Cream Love Story

When I first started working at Bellacara years ago, I was referred by a friend who is a long-time client of Angela's. I had recently moved to the area, and my friend insisted that my love for all things makeup would make me a great candidate for a position on the Bellacara team. Fortunately for me, she was right, and now I have all the makeup a girl could dream of right at my fingertips! Makeup always came naturally, but with skincare, there was still much to learn. Through the years of Angela sharing her expert knowledge and Abby always being one step ahead in the skincare world, I've been fortunate to be educated by women who have a wealth of information in the industry.

 

The more I learned about skincare, the more fascinated I became. Starting off as a makeup girl, I quickly became a self-proclaimed skincare junkie. I know the great importance of taking care of my skin and even enjoy the process of doing so! I really have my routine down, but there's always one important step I seem to skip right over… the eye cream!

 

Shame on me, I know! Eye cream is widely considered a vital part of a skincare regimen. Can you guess where the first signs of aging appear on the face? You guessed it - the eyes. Considering the delicacy of the skin around the eye area, using an eye cream protects the skin better than moisturizer alone. Many face moisturizers also advise against using the product around the eye area due to certain chemicals, fragrances, and preservatives that may cause irritation.

 

With no lack of remarkable options, I set out to find the eye cream I'll want to reach for both day and night. After some exploring, I found my perfect match!

Coola's Day SPF 30 & Night Eye Cream Duo checks all the boxes! I love how the split design gives me two extraordinary products in one jar for around-the-clock protection. Both formulas contain Coola's Full 360 Spectrum complex, which is designed to help mitigate free radical damage from blue light, pollution, and fatigue. The sheer peach SPF 30 day cream is infused with Vitamin C to reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. SPF and Vitamin C are staples in a skincare regimen, so finding an eye cream with both is a total win! The good news doesn't stop there. The purple night cream is infused with Resveratrol, which helps protect the skin's surface, interrupts and helps rebuff negative environmental influences, and brightens a tired-looking complexion. With stellar ingredients in both products, what's not to love?!

 

I hope if you've read this article and have come to discover you're missing a vital part of your skincare routine, that you'll swing on by so that we can help you find your perfect match!
