How to achieve youthful beautiful eye contours

Youthful Eye Contours


One of the things you may not know about Pevonia products is that they are based on dermatological science and are all dermatologically tested. Which means they not only feel and smell great but are formulated to achieve visible results.

How do they do that? Well, simply put, the ingredients are selected based on the innate self healing properties ie: the Ginkgo Biloba in the Evolutive Eye Gel increases the circulation around the eye area helping to reduce fluid stagnation and iron build up that leads to dark circles. So it's not just a "cooling" eye gel, it actually treats the condition.

When you use the Pevonia Eye Care line you are treating the problem, which is why these products have a cult following. This line effectively treats a range of eye conditions because it is based on science. Furthermore, all of the Pevonia Eye Care Products are opthalmically tested so even the most sensitive eyes will find them gentle and effective. Even contact lens wearers rave about these products.

In this article we explain the cause of the most common eye contour problems and how Pevonia Eye Care line can help alleviate these conditions.

A little Eye Care Education...

Wrinkles and Crepiness - Many muscles of the eye have to move in order to achieve the opening and closing of the eye lids and the facial expressions. The skin around the eye area responds to every little movement resulting in the formation of wrinkles and crows feet. As the elastic fibers are very sparse this leads to crepiness of the eye lids. Did you realise the Elastin you are born with around the eye area is all you'll ever have? Your body won't continue to produce elastin in this area of the face so we recommend protecting this area with gentle TLC to help maintain it! Decrease in muscle tone causes heavy gravity resulting in the eye lids drooping which in turn contribute to even more aging signs and wrinkles.

The major factor contributing to the breakdown of elastin and collagen around the eye area apart from expression is free radical damage from the sun.

Pevonia Solution:

Evolutive Eye Line - Ligne Yeux Eyes and Lips
This rich, non-greasy triphase homogenized formula firms and tighten the area around your eyes helping to protect and maintain your own elastin. Rich in squalane oil from olives and very similar to our skin's own oils and anti-oxidant Vitamins A, E and Chitosan Ascorbate this treatment cream protects and repairs the delicate eye contours while firming.

Puffiness or Bagginess - A puffy look of the lids is due to fluid stagnation or edema, the extra-cellular spaces will be filled with excess fluids. These excess fluids in normal conditions are automatically re-absorbed by the lymphatic capillaries easing the puffy look. When this natural phenomenon slows down due to health, aging, diet or lack of care the lids will look puffy and stay puffy. When eye lid puffiness persists it could lead to cellular nutritional deficiency of the cells in the eye area. The quicker the stagnation is dealt with, the better it is for the condition of the eye lids.

Dark Circles - Because of the thinness of the skin all colours are exaggerated and more visible. A lot of factors contribute to dark circles; melanin pigment, blood colour, sluggish circulation, proliferation of blood vessels, edemas, allergies, chronic swelling causing the tissue to become darker, chronic exposure to sunlight, stress, lack of sleep and fatigue, chronic illness and disease and most of all an insoluble storage from iron called Hemosiderin that lingers and tints the blood a purplish colour.

Pevonia Solution:

Pevonia Evolutive Eye Gel. This wonder product contains high-tech time-release sphérulites which deliver decongesting benefits to your delicate eye zone throughout the day. Rich in anti-oxidant Vitamin C, moisture binding Hyaluronic Acid, and Ginkgo Biloba a superior circulatory aid this gel reduces dark circles and puffiness.

So you see that not only do these products condition and smooth the skin around the eye area, they treat and repair as well effectively "halting" the skin ageing process.

 Another area that suffers much abuse due to constant movement is the lip contour, fine lines begin to develop as the support structures break down, skin cells become mature and less healthy leading to fine lines and atrophy. Maintaining the skin around the lip area is as important as the eye contours if you want to stay youthful!

Pevonia Solution:

Youthful Lip Cream combines the repairing effects of Retinol which helps to rejuvenate skin cells with regenerating Collagen and Elastin, to smooth lines, hydrate, prevent wrinkles, and even coloring. Your lips are rendered smoothly toned and lusciously rejuvenated.

Winterizing your Skin


With colder weather here what steps can you take to upgrade your skincare routine in order to avoid dryness, sensitivity, and irritation? Here are 6 helpful tips to protect our skin from the changing seasons.

1. Buy a creamier cleanser. Though foaming cleansers are great in the summer to remove sweat, oil residues, and skin debris, creamier cleansers have more nourishing agents that remove less of the essential lipids (oils) in your skin. I suggest Pevonia’s Hydrating Cleanser and Hydrating Lotion for the winter, regardless of your skin type, because it has Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid that plump up your cells with moisture.

2. Exfoliate twice a week, followed by a cream mask. Dead skin cells tend to stick together a lot more as skin gets drier in the autumn and winter. Exfoliate using a gentle enzyme cream (Pevonia’s Enzymo-Spherides Peeling Cream), rather than an exfoliating (granular) cleanser if you are starting to get sensitive. Follow with a generous amount of a Mask.

3. Add an Aromatherapy Face Oil once a week at night to nourish your depleted, tired skin. Hazelnut oil and Vitamin E are 2 beautiful lipids (oils) that are great for nourishing cell membranes, regardless of your skin type. Pevonia has 3 different Aromatherapy Face Oil Blends with a Hazelnut and Vitamin E base. It is like nutrition for your skin. Your skin will thank you for it and you will sleep better, too!

4. Cream. Cream. Cream. You can apply a little more product than normal. Most people are unaware of the dehydration that occurs to skin when taking anti-histamines and allergy medications so common during this time of year

5. Avoid prolonged, hot showers. I know it feels so good, but hot water can increase pruritis (itching) and dry your skin out as well. Also, be sure to avoid rubbing your face with your bath towel. Pat drying works best. Leave some moisture on your skin before applying product.

6. Bundle up with clothes. Lower the heat. Heating elements and units cranked up in the cooler nights can rob the environment and your skin of moisture. Use these in moderation.
