ESPA, eye cream
Eye Creams

We’ve been debating eye creams in the office for weeks. No other beauty product has polarised Team ELLE quite like this one. Some of us swear by them, sold on their abilities to prevent wrinkles or make us feel instantly refreshed. Others can’t see the point – preferring to cure under eye evils with make-up. One thing we all agree on however, is that the under eye area is problematic. The skin in this area is thinner than on the rest of your face and is the first to show the signs of ageing. It is also affected if you are tired or dehydrated and drinking water seems to make little difference so it is important to pin point your issues when choosing the right product. For dark circles and puffiness caused by fatigue and dehydration look to radiance boosting and cooling gels with light reflecting qualities. If you’re looking to invest in a product that will keep wrinkles at bay and protect delicate skin, then pick a vitamin enriched cream to nourish. After vigorous testing and discussion, here’s ELLE’s pick of the best eye creams…

eyelash extensions
Eyelash Extensions

If you absolutely never leave the house sans mascara, then eye enhancing, eyelash extensions are a must-try treatment for you. This beauty treatment has instant and dramatic results – do it once and you may have no idea how you ever managed before. Although be prepared to invest, extensions are more expensive than even the very best mascara and with such striking effecets, this could be something you end up adding to your regular beauty regime.

eyebrow shaping
Eyebrow Shaping

Eyebrows have the ability to change the whole appearance of your face. In general the shape nature gave you probably suits you best, but a little tweaking, tinting and tweezing here and there can make all the difference.
Your first port of call should always be a professional, and we must add that some are better than others. Check out your therapist’s own eyebrow style before you commit and always say what you want. Just like going to the hairdressers, if you say ‘do anything’ you may end up with over-tweezed tadpoles that won’t grow back easily. Once a therapist gives you your perfect brow shape, you’ll be able to maintain it yourself with regular plucking and trimming.
Generally most people suit a straighter rather than over arched eyebrow that is full and thick enough to look natural. We love 1980s, Brooke Shields style, bushy brows - but whatever look you’re after - read our reviews below to find the experts and shaping techniques/tools we trust and recommend.

exfoliators
Exfoliators

Exfoliating is a love or hate thing, you either see it as a treat or a chore. Either way, regular buffing of the face and the body is one of life's necessities, a must for summer dressing and essential preparation for a long lasting, golden tan - fake or real. Regular exfoliation will boost circulation, improve vital blood flow to the body's largest organ - the skin - and keep its surface soft, clean and plumped. It will also help to keep dreaded ingrown hairs at bay on legs and bikini lines.

For the face you should endeavour to exfoliate once a week to keep skin cleansed and fresh. For the body, if you can make buffing part of your daily showering ritual then it will do you the world of good. We also recommend at twice yearly skin buffing, salon treatment as the most decadent and least tedious way to indulge.

Read ELLE’s reviews to see which exfoliators and salon treatments made the grade and which are best for your needs and your budget too.

exercise
Exercise

Exercise is not just about losing weight and getting into those skinny jeans - although this can be a great motivator - regular exercise can also reduce premature ageing, add years to your life expectancy, decrease your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure and lower your body fat and bad cholesterol. There are also many short term benefits which can help to keep you motivated. Working out can boost your mood and your immune system, reduce mental and muscular tension and increase your ability to concentrate. Plus, lets not forget, stick with it and it should help you loose weight and get you the body you always wanted.

Exercise can be cardiovascular (raises the heart rate and burns calories) or use weight resistance (tones, builds and strengthens muscle). For most of us, combining both regularly is key. So whether you're after a fun and social way to workout (this does exist) or a results driven regime, read all about the newest, most effective ways we've found to get fit and stay in shape below.
