I swear by hemmaroid ointment for some reason i used it once and have always associated it with dark circles under my eyes??_

P-angel said that when she quit smoking she lost all her little smoking lines that was on her face and I believed her and I quit smoking pretty much instantly lol??_.I haven't had a smoke for 4 months and I have smoked since I was 13??_.I'll do anything for beauty so If you smoke maybe u should give it up instead of wasting money on beauty products??_

I had been contemplating a rhinoplasty but i had a botch surgery nightmare and now I'm too scared

Clinique

All About Eyes

It says it reduces "circles & puffs"

And it really does make your eyes look nice like-- immediately.

Idk about crows feet, though.

A friend of mine started using Roc, and I noticed an enormous difference.

I don't think it was specifically for eyes, but it was pretty amazing.

Thanks for your article link. Indeed, I do get some swelling in my fingers and ankles especially when it's hot. Your link calls for the following:

Natrium sulphuricum, 6 pastilles daily;

Natrium chloratum (muriaticum), 6 pastilles daily;

Calcium fluoratum, 3 pastilles daily;

Silicea, 3 pastilles daily.

I'm assuming that these are taken in homeopathic doses? If yes, I can pretty much obtain them from BOIRON. However, maybe you could help me figure out the correct doses??

Here's what BOIRON makes:

Natrum sulphuricum 3X to 30X - 3C to 30C HPUS
Natrum muriaticum 3X to 30X - 3C to 30C HPUS
Calcarea fluorica 3X to 30X - 3C to 30C HPUS
Silicea 3X to 30X - 3C to 30C HPUS

I can probably also obtain the Schmidt-Nagel equivalents by ordering through my pharmacy, so please DO let me know. Thanks!!

hi there. you are welcome πŸ™‚ and yes, homeopathic doses. i would recommend you go personally to a chemist/pharmacy who specializes in this field if you are able to go. my personal dosages are the following:

Calium Phosphoricum - 15 pastilles (mornings 5, midday 5 and evening 5)
Natrium Sulfuricum - 30 pastilles (mornings 10, midday 10, evening 10)
Silicea - 15 (same dosage as above)

in any case; order over your chemist - it's better to be on the safe side.

overall i feel much better since i have been taking them; my skin and nails and just overall complexion are great. i was also informed by my pharamsisct - that when your body does not need a certain salt anymore - you will know cause you will dislike the taste of the pastille.

you need to get used to this though; it's a rather chalky matter - i put them in my mouth and wait for them to dissolve and then just drink a glass of water afterwards.

good luck! πŸ™‚

OK good to know! It's worth a try πŸ™‚ I'll ask the pharmacist. I just need to know which homeopathic dilution would be best (or best to start). Thanks again.

when you start the dosages are higher - it decreases until you don't need it anymore. and this is why you should have a consultation. maybe you can keep me updated, i would love to know how it's worked for you! all the best!

OK will do. In the meantime, I'm going to also try some of the other suggestions given here with regards to creams and such.

+++++++++++ 1 !! I've worked at Makeup counters on and off since the age of 18 and I've sold (and used) all about eyes numerous times. It's never too early to use eye cream. Whether you're 20 or 40, it's recommended to use eye cream as early as possible.

Buy pure Hyrolonic acid.....add it to any basic eye cream that is least expensive.

Hey, this sounds like a GREAT idea but two questions:

1) How much do you add to the basic eye cream? (i.e what's the mixing dosage 1:1, 2:1, etc?)

2) Is there any potential danger to use the full-strength stuff??

You guys have all given such great ideas and thoughts: THANK YOU!!

OK Peeps! Thanks for all your feedback! So I tried a number of your suggestions and the one that seems to be making a remarkable difference for me personally is.............

HYALURONIC ACID in the eye cream. The skin around my eyes looks more firm and smile lines look like they're fading.

(I sound like an advertisement LOL)
