Myers: The current trend is eye masks—the perfect mini relaxation experience both in-spa and at home. We love the Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks, which help smooth, tighten and hydrate. Clients report looking brighter, and less fatigued and puffy. We also offer eye treatment enhancements that include microcurrent to stimulate and fi rm the muscles around the orbital bone; and oxygen infusions (avoiding the more delicate areas) with bursts of compressed air to help the skin appear more refreshed and radiant. Karakorn: As part of clients' eye treatments, we incorporate Phytomer's double brush massage technique, which really helps with puffi ness and darkness. The esthetician uses soft brushes with a massage balm that boosts circulation and helps push toxins away from the eyes. In between services, we recommend eye masks containing HA and collagen to hydrate and smooth the eye area, reducing puffi ness and wrinkles. Another benefi cial at-home accessory is a jade roller; the cool jade stone not only diminishes puffi ness, but improves circulation, eliminates toxins and tightens pores. L'Archevêque: The skin underneath the eye is very thin and delicate, so it's important to use a hydrating formula to protect it. For dark circles I recommend Silhouet-Tone's Anti-Puffi ness & Anti-Dark Circles Eyes Patch—it creates a 'second skin' while the mask diffuses moisturizing and restorative ingredients. Gentle microdermabrasion can be performed prior to their application, which helps hydrate and minimize wrinkles. I personally use the Silhouet-Tone Vortex Peel's blue tip and my clients love the results. What skin care should clients avoid using on or around their eyes? Karakorn: Because this area is much more prone to reactions than the rest of the face, guests m ust stay away from products that contain a lot of fragrance, or ingredients such as exfoliating beads. Skin care designed for the face can possibly be too heavy for the skin around the eyes, and might clog pores and cause milia. L'Archevêque: Clients should avoid using any skincare product containing harsh acids, as the skin around the eye area is very delicate and must be kept well hydrated. Myers: Remind guests that this skin is sensitive, thin and can easily become irritated—especially with the use of scrubs (which can cause tiny tears) as well as glycolic peels and alcohol due to the drying nature of these ingredients. In addition, I suggest clients use light touches and resist too much pulling when applying their undereye products. u spotlight RapidEye Firming Wrinkle Smoother rapidlash.com Sanitas PeptiDerm Eye Treatment sanitas-skincare.com Phytomer Smoothing and Reviving Eye Mask phytomerusa.com Le Mieux Eye & Lip Cream lemieuxpro.com EYECARE PRODUCTS "Eye masks are the perfect mini relaxation experience— both in-spa and at home."
