Don't Give The Game Away!
Time waits for no man. Even though, like red wine and balsamic vinegar, men get better with age, surprisingly we are not perfect and there are still areas that need focus. Look at an older guy, he could be incredibly fit and have the body of a 25 year old, he could have all his own hair and a Hollywood smile but the area that gives him away is around his eyes. The lines and wrinkles are the tell-tale signs of a man's age and they don't appear overnight. There are numerous eye creams on the market and when you're younger you often think what a waste of time and money it is putting an anti-aging eye cream on as it doesn't do anything. Well it does, and as you get older you'll start to appreciate your forward thinkingness. While it is great to use an anti-aging eye cream, and you should, there are also a whole range of new products designed to work a little quicker and pep up your eyes. Eye fillers or de-puffing products are all the rage right now and are a great pick me up for your face. Nobody wants to look tired yet we can't all get our 10 hours sleep every night so we need a little help. Here are my picks of the latest eye saviours.
Origins - GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream
Origins offer a new remedy to help offset the visible signs of fatigue around eyes. GinZing Refreshing eye cream to brighten and de-puff is a natural clinically-proven morning-rescue eye cream that instantly reduces the appearance of dark circles. Origins proprietary complex of panax ginseng, caffeine from coffee bean, magnolia extract, and natural optic brighteners rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to the eye area. Like a shot of espresso for tired eyes, this power-packed eye cream delivers both an instant impact and sustained benefits over time with continued use. Formulated with a cool, crème texture that invigorates and hydrates the eye area, helping unsightly bags and under-eye puffiness virtually disappear. Vibrancy is restored, leaving the delicate eye-area appear rested, even-toned and revitalized.

Clinique - All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage
An instantly cooling rollerball that deposits a liquid gel-serum to help massage and refresh puffy eyes on contact, reduce the appearance of dark circles and brighten. Think of it as a new solution for eye puffs refreshingly non-irritating. Eye area puffiness can result from rubbing, allergies and staring at a computer screen which can allow for fluids to accumulate under the eye area. The formula helps keep skin around the eyes smoother and less translucent.

La Prairie - Anti-Aging Anti Wrinkle Eye Line Filler
La Prairie has just release a new 'Anti-Aging Anti-Wrinkle Eye Line Filler' which promises to immediately plump and lift the area. This treatment immediately minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to the light-scattering action of polymethylmethacrylate and silicones, while addressing a wide range of age-related issues. It plumps the skin, instantly filling in lines and smoothing out wrinkles. A non-invasive extract, derived from trees grown in India, increases tissue volume by boosting adipocyte (fat) storage in depressed areas of the skin to even out its surface and new “vectorized” technology, an injection-like mechanism, speeds delivery and intensifies its effect.
n.b. I've recently been using this and it's really good. Does smell a little feminine but you get used to that. It's so hydrating that it almost makes your eyes water, in a good way!
