My son has very dry and allergy prone skin. What natural (organic) products do you recommend for a face wash?

Thanks!

Hello Polly,

Use the Eminence Organic Stone Crop Gel Wash. Not too many ingredients to irritate sensitive skin and it is made from the stone crop plant which is full of natural hydrating moisture.

Can you suggest a light Eminence moisturizer for summer?

I typically order Eminence Linden Calendula Treatment Cream from you for a moisturizer. It seems way too heavy for summer. I know there are others in that line, any you can suggest? I do have mature skin that tends towards the dry side.

Hello,

Skin tone is improved for a more youthful texture and skin is softer and more radiant. It can be used day and night and it is a medium weight moisturizer - not too heavy!

Can I use Guinot Time Logic Serum around the eyes?

Is Guinot Time Logic Serum for use around the eye area?

Serena

Hi Serena,

The Guinot Time Logic Serum is specifically for face and neck, although the product will naturally "creep" to the orbital eye area for benefits there also.

For the eye area we recommend Guinot Age Logic Yeux which will lift, firm, brighten, and smooth the area specifically surrounding the eyes.

Guinot Intelligent Cell Renewal for Eyes

Guinot Intelligent Cell Renewal for Eyes introduces a revolutionary new anti-aging eye cream that aids in the restoration and support of cellular energy, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, while plumping and lifting the eye area.

How can I help irritated, broken skin heal caused by a glycolic peel?

I recently had a 30% glycolic peel and afterwards I had a bad abrasion/irritation under my eye but closer to the side of my nose appear. What should I do to help it to heal or not scar?

Jasmine

Hi Jasmine

The combination of hydrocortisone, aloe and ceramides-3 in Glymed Comfort Cream promotes healing and quick recovery from procedures such as yours. Also the addition of arbutin will help prevent unwanted melanocyte injury and brown spots/scarring.

Glymed Plus Comfort Cream

Glymed Plus Comfort Cream immediately calms upset and irritated skin caused by waxing, permanent makeup, peels, extraction, facial steam, chemicals, medication, strong clinical products, sun exposure and even insect bites!

Eminence Lime Stimulating makes my skin feel hot and tingly. Can I use it around my eyes?

Hi,

I have Eminence Lime Stimulating Masque that gets hot and tingly. Can I put that around my eye area too for fine lines, or should I avoid that area?

Thank you!

Carrie

Hi Carrie

The Eminence Hot Masks are designed to stimulate blood flow and rejuvenate the skin - that’s why your face feels hot and flushed when using these products.

I would not advise using them too close to the eye area. The skin surrounding the eyes is very thin and fragile and does not produce oil (your skin’s natural protectant). Too much stimulation / exfoliation can leave the eye area unprotected and easily irritated.

The mask will likely "travel" to the skin around the eye area so you will be receiving some benefits there but I would avoid directly applying these hot products directly to that part of the face.

Eminence Lime Stimulating Treatment Masque

Eminence Lime Stimulating Treatment Masque is ideal for promoting stimulation and oxygenation of the skin. It's rich in vitamin C, minerals and additional antioxidants.

Hi,

Is the (Jane Iredale) PureMatte finish powder a certain color? Can it be refilled? Is it the best choice to use throughout the day for a touch up or is there something else that I should consider?

Thanks!

Is Eminence Gingko Whip Moisturizer making my skin crazy?

I just bought the Eminence Gingko Whip Moisturizer and I have to say my skin is going crazy! It turns my face red and my skin feels like it's on fire! I have been using the Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer but my skin needs something to promote elasticity. Can you recommend something? I need help! I am 36 and this is the first signs of aging that I have had.

Thank you!

Joni

Hi Joni,

Eminence can be a very active and stimulating product line. If you read the Gingko Whip description again, you will see where it says Gingko extract is known for its regenerating properties, and also that this moisturizer stimulates capillary circulation/strengthening.

What this means is this moisturizer will help your skin cells turn over at a faster rate, which will produce newer, younger skin cells. As we age, our rate of cellular turnover slows down and we use products such as these to speed that rate back up again. Now for you - you may need to alternate this potent Gingko moisturizer with your Sour Cherry. Maybe use the Gingko every 2nd or 3rd day to enjoy the benefits but not the strong side effects.

Eminence is famous for their remedies that promote vascular stimulation. This might be happening with you which is the increased blood flow under the skin. Due to the highly stimulating effect, a tingling, hot sensation will definitely be felt for short time. This is not an allergic reaction. This sensation will calm down and decrease to normal in 5–30 minutes. Depending on the skin type, the face will be rosy or red during the stimulating process diminishing into a very healthy glow after an hour. The complexion will be refined, smoother and healthier looking for days.

Eminence Gingko Whip Moisturizer

Eminence Gingko Whip Moisturizer u ses Gingko Extract for its regenerating properties, and for its protection against free radicals in the environment.

You might want to cut back on its use to every other day or every third day and you can ALWAYS dilute Eminence products with water - they are very potent.

If you would like another suggestion, look at the Eight Greens Whip Moisturizer - one of our best sellers for firming and promoting elasticity.

Eminence Eight Greens Whip Moisturizer

Eminence's moisturizing whip is incredibly firming and balancing. Organic greens rich in phyto-estrogens target hormonally imbalanced skins than can results from menopause, stress or monthly fluctuations.

Or add the Eight Greens Youth Serum underneath your favorite moisturizer for added firming and toning benefits.

I need a light moisturizer for an active, mid-30's gal, any suggestions?

I use Eminence skin care. I need a recommendation for another moisturizer that is a bit lighter, but will still offer the restorative benefits. I am 35 and very active (runner) and overall have pretty healthy skin that is a little on the combination side.

Thanks

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

I would recommend the Eminence Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer. This is a light to medium weight moisturizer so your skin will be hydrated but not overly weighed down with heaviness. Lemon tightens and tones the pores while natural sugars rejuvenate and refine the skin's texture. Vitamins A, C and E provide antioxidant protection.

Eminence Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer

Eminence Sour Cherry Whip Moisturizer is ideal for mature, normal to dry skin types who feel they have enlarged pores and dehydrated skin. This helps hydrate the skin, protect against ageing free radicals, and decrease the appearance of pores.
