Looking Good: 4 Treatments for Brighter Eyes

Now more than ever, skincare is at the heart of self care. Whether we’re on a video call with colleagues, catching up with friends and family while social-distancing, or making a quick trip to the grocery store, having healthy-looking skin is one of the best ways to feel confident and in control of our “new normal.” It’s true: in the age of coronavirus, requests for procedures ranging from simple facials and injectables to actual plastic surgery are at an all-time high. We may be covering our faces to protect ourselves and our neighbors, but we’re no less attuned to how the uncovered areas of our skin appear — and eyes are our top priority. Here, Jordan Jacobs shares the best ways to achieve a vibrant visage by rejuvenating the skin around the eyes. Let’s get started!

Skin Rejuvenation is Here to Give You a Late-Summer Glow

When it comes to beauty buzzwords, “rejuvenation” tops the list.

That cause, of course, is a mix of time, body chemistry, and everyday damage that builds up over long months and years. To make a positive, lasting change in our skin’s health, we have look beneath what’s happening on the skin’s surface and treat the root of these common skin woes.

The Key to a Sweat-Free Summer

With temperatures soaring above 90 degrees, it doesn’t take more than a short walk outside to experience the effects of the heatwave that’s currently sweeping the nation. And the most noticeable side effect of sweltering summer weather—aside from steaming sidewalks and wilting plants, of course—is sweat. While perspiration is our body’s natural way of regulating temperature, hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing for those who experience it in excess. Luckily, sweat doesn’t have to spell disaster for your summer plans. Botox, the injectable that does wonders for woes like wrinkles and migraines, can also reduce hyperhidrosis—so you can get your glow on without feeling like you just stepped out of a sauna. Here, Jordan Jacobs walks us through her solution for a sweat-free summer.
