Refresh Your Eyes With These Grooming Products

Have you ever had one of those nights where you were having way too much fun? Your friends were there, good looking women roamed around, and those beers just kept on coming. You just never wanted it to end. Next thing you know it was a bit later than you intended, and you only have a few hours until you need to be awake. When you do get out of bed a few hours later, you look like death. The alcohol puffed up your eyes, and the lack of sleep somehow made black circles form. You look like sh*t. What to do? Find a grooming product that will spring you back to life. Here are a few to try:

(Malin + Goetz) Rice Bran Eye Moisturizer
This (Malin + Goetz) Rice Bran Eye Moisturizer should be your go-to treatment. Rice bran and soja protein amino acids boost capillary circulation to make dark circles go away, puffiness go down, and wrinkles diminish. It also has a fresh scent.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says
This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients
 
The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
