The term “hooded lids” refers to where the skin folds over the crease of the eyelid either partially or completely.

This can make the eyelid appear smaller and less visible when the eyes are open.

This happens from a series of things including lymphatic fluid filling the low pressure area above the eyes from our head positions, and weak, asymmetrical muscle use around the eyes.

It's compounded by tension, tight muscles and fascia that benefit from daily release.

I have seen this change completely with a few, easy to do, relaxing daily practices.

Here are my favorite exercises to rejuvenate the area above the eyes:

Everyday, I follow this routine, usually in the evening before bed, but sometimes around midday. Share with a friend who works on their phone or laptop and they will thank you.

Rejuvenate under eye area, dark bags, dark circles, saggy skin, puffiness and wrinkles.  

Just one application of this gravity-defying eye cream soothes puffiness, hydrates, plumps and lifts the delicate under-eye skin. 

Our DNA and our genes are part of nature, and 100% fresh, natural ingredients are the most effective way that we can positively influence our genes. 

The problem is, that the beauty industry is full of products that have been kept on a shelf for years, when the half life period for any of the natural ingredients within them, means that all efficacy will have been eliminated long before they are even purchased. 

So watch out for the beauty industry, there will be many claims of scientific breakthroughs.

But the reality of this is that any synthetic ingredient is nowhere close to being as effective on our DNA and any natural ingredient will have extremely diminished even by the time it has sat on a shelf for years, marinated in preservatives.

Either way, preserved ingredients cannot positively impact gene expression, they can only harm over time.

Worse, the synthetic ingredients sometimes do have an short term effect, but it doesn't last for long, and again, only harms over time.

We believe that no one should have to compromise their health for beauty. 

That's why we are dedicated to 100% fresh, organic, pure skin nourishment without the nasty toxins, preservatives, fillers and additives used throughout the skincare industry to preserve shelf-life.

And for this reason, everything is made fresh, to order.

“In my research it became clear why we had to design an entirely different way to make skincare fresh every week ~ this is the only way to ensure that your skincare products retain the highest amount of antioxidants, polyphenols, natural retinols, ceramides and peptides needed to create real and long lasting change.

If a skincare product has been formulated for a long shelf life, the chemists use stabilizers, preservatives and other additives. This business decision, which most brands make, causes the science of Epigenetics to work against the skin, as the skin responds to these chemicals in a negative way over the long term, switching on negative gene expressions.”
