The Best Anti-Aging Eye Cream Ever

When I first began using the Nutri-min C RE9 Anti-aging Eye Cream I had just moved back to Michigan after living out west for 9 months. It is pretty dry out there and I noticed that people's skin seemed to age more quickly, including mine! For the first time in my life (at then age 38) I had wrinkles under my eyes, lot's of them. I looked old and tired. I wasn't too happy about this fact and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.



Fortunately, I was also looking for a business that would allow me to stay home with my 8 children and had decided that Arbonne would be a good fit for me. So, when the RE9 skin care kit arrived I was more than eager to give the anti-aging eye cream a try. I used it for a week before I had a few friends over to check out the products with me. When my sister (who is 3 years younger than me) saw me, she said it wasn't fair that I was older than her and that I had no wrinkles under my eyes. I had been so busy that week that I hadn't noticed, so I literally ran into the bathroom to see for myself and sure enough the wrinkles under my eyes were gone. Now I am 40 and people are usually shocked to hear my age. In fact, they are always saying how my oldest daughter and I look like sisters!



I can honestly say that the RE9 Anti-aging Eye Cream is the best eye cream I have ever used and I have tried them all. I have used the $80 Christian Dior eye cream and the $120 RE-Nutriv eye cream and didn't get the same results I got from the $49 Arbonne eye cream (and I don't even pay that much with my discount!). Everybody says they have the best eye cream, but seeing is believing and I know that the Arbonne is the best eye cream based on pure results. I also had a couple of friends try the eye cream after that and they both got the exact same results I did.



A couple of other benefits I experienced that I feel make the Arbonne Nutri-min C RE9 Eye Cream the best eye cream on the market are the fact that it reduces dark circles and puffiness. I have allergies and am often puffy in the morning and within about 10 minutes of putting on the eye cream and concealor the puffiness is gone. And, of course, as a mother of 8 I frequently go without a full night's sleep so dark circles would normally set in, but not when I am using this amazing eye cream.



I can honestly tell you that if I stopped selling Arbonne tomorrow I would remain a faithful customer for life, at least for the eye cream if nothing else.



So, if you are wondering how to purchase the best eye cream ever and see these great results for yourself (they offer a 45-day money back guarantee—so there's no risk) you can simply go to Arbonne.com and look for the RE9 Advanced (formerly Nutrimin C RE9) products for face on the left hand menu. You will have to register as my client using my ID # 16105466 (sorry, that's the way Arbonne has the site set up), but this should just take a minute.
If you don't want to pay full price, just email me and I can explain how you can become a discount buyer or even a consultant and enjoy a generous discount off all your purchases along with many other benefits, including the opportunity to earn some money – if that appeals to you.

Feel free to contact me at
Allison_Red@hotmail.com if you have questions or need help placing your order. By the way, the entire NEW RE9 Advanced line is amazing and you will get the best results by using all the products together.

The Number 1 Anti-Aging Secret

The absolute number one rule of good skin care is to never, ever, ever go to bed without washing your face. I don’t care if it is 3 am and you have to get up for work in a couple of hours (you might want to think that through in advance next time, though) or even if you have the worst flu of your life (washing your face will actually make you feel better, anyway); you should always wash your face before going to sleep. Why is this so important? Your skin is not just a covering for your bones, blood and muscles as was once believed. It is a living, breathing organ. It is actually the largest organ of the body.Your skin allows toxins to exit the body and moisture, oxygen and other nutrients to enter the body.

Unfortunately, it can also allow toxins and bacteria to enter the body. During the day your skin is protected by a layer of sebum (the natural oils) and or your make-up and moisturizer (yes, the right make-up is actually good for your skin). At night your skin goes into feeding and rebuilding mode. It will absorb anything that is left on your skin (ever notice that most of the make-up is gone in the morning, but the pillow isn’t covered in it?). If you are using the right kind of make-up, without fragrance and mineral oil, it may not necessarily be “bad” for your skin, but that protective layer of sebum or make-up has collected a variety of molecules of dirt, bacteria and other environmental toxins throughout the day and those things are definitely bad for your skin and your body.

Allowing these substances into the skin not only causes blemishes; it also causes free radical damage which will lead to premature aging and possibly skin cancer. Free radicals are unstable molecules that attack and destroy other healthy molecules. In other words, they eat away at healthy skin cells. Free radical damage can also be caused or perpetuated by a poor diet, lack of sleep, pollution and most notably sun exposure. Preventing free radical damage means eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, using cosmetics and skin care with a good SPF coverage and of course washing your face before going to bed in order to cleanse away dirt, oil, bacteria and other pollutants that have collected there throughout the day.

The 2 Big Reasons to Never Break Rule #1

There are two serious consequences you will face if you do not consistently wash your face before going to bed at night:

1. Breakouts- Your entire body, including your skin, is on a 28-day cycle. It takes 28 days for a new skin cell to work its way to the top layer of your epidermis (the outermost layer of your skin). This means that if you have slept without washing one night, the effects of that choice will be with you for a full month. You may have a breakout the next day or it may take several days for the dirt and bacteria to work their magic (dark magic in this case). It will then take 28 full days to completely eradicate that damage.

2. Accelerated Aging- The second reason to never break Rule #1 is that your skin will age at a much faster rate if you sleep with make-up, dirt, pollutants and other debris on your skin at night. Your skin will age 3 days every single time you sleep without washing your face. That’s right, your skin ages 3 times faster when you sleep without washing! Washing your face before bed is absolutely one of the easiest and most important things you can do to prevent premature aging. Of course, you need to use a gentle cleanser and never soap, but we will discuss that in a later blog.
