An Expanding Market

mikkel — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:59:23 +0000

Frankly, when you see most eye creams, most wrinkle creams in general, they are advertised specifically toward women. Granted, women make up a greater amount of the population. But most other things are marketed toward, tested on, and generally given to men. But the wrinkle industry is centered more around women, because to be honest more women care and more women are in general expected to look younger anyway. And this being said, in some ways men get left out. It’s not that the same products don’t work for men. It’s that most men are too “manly” to use a woman’s product. Now Mary Kay was among the first to actually produce a men’s line, and frankly there were not that many men who would even use that, because they think for some reason that skincare in general is not “manly” enough for them. But with the introduction of the metro among other things, plans are changing, opinions are changing, and frankly gay men have realized the secret previous to this. But more men are willing to use men’s lines, more men are going in for surgeries, more men in general are taking care of themselves. So with an expanding market, they are getting expanded choices, and many are advertising more toward both sexes now interestingly enough.

Tanning Addiction

There are some people I know who could be considered to be addicted to tanning. They don’t have SAD or anything, they just like to be tan all year round. It’s a bit obvious when you’re that way all year round, and frankly with the whole orange look you sometimes see, not a pretty thing. One of my neighbors as a kid was notorious for it as his skin was always orange and he looked like a withered up prune, it wasn’t natural, and even 10 year old kids noticed it. It was never said to his face, but it’s embarrassing. This being said, of course, with tanning beds, you run serious risks of cancer. You may think it’s not a big deal now. But just wait until you are undergoing radiation and otherwise to try to kill off the damaged cells. Then it won’t be so fun or worth it. But basically they say that if people annoy you by criticizing your tan or tanning habits, you have ever felt guilty or like you need to cut down on tanning, you’ve thought about it first thing in the morning, or otherwise, you are probably addicted. Not wearing sunscreen and tanning beds are always harmful. But if you have an addiction, it obviously increases the risk substantially because you are more likely to do it more.

Roc Retinol Correxion Eye Cream

Roc Retinol Correxion Eye Cream has been quite a popular one in the past. People see a big name that happens to sell in grocery stores and CVS pharmacies along with Walmarts in many cases, and they think not only does it work according to commercials, it is also cheap, which is obviously quite appealing to many individuals. This being said, I decided to really check it out. So I tried it for myself, it wasn’t that huge a cost the way I got it. That being said, I will be fair. I did feel a difference when I first used it. It really moisturized the area around my eyes, and there was this slight tingling feeling that I’m not sure how to describe other than that. The problem is that after a while, I noticed that the skin around my eyes had turned red and developed deeper lines that were already there as fine lines. In addition, all the moisturization in the world did not actually make a good result. This of course you can find out by just looking at the ingredients, there are no proven ingredients. But of course, many prefer other experiences over ingredients lists. So I looked into it for myself in other words and now I get the joy of trying to reverse the damage I did to my skin in the process.

Roc Retinol Overview

Roc Retinol Correction Eye Cream is cheap, it’s affordable, it’s sold in CVS pharmacies across the country, and frankly it’s seen through TV commercials. So quite a few people automatically trust it, say well I might as well, especially in a tougher economy. Cheap is good right, and it comes from Johnson & Johnson, which is a huge conglomerate that obviously isn’t going away any time soon. Frankly, I’ve tried Roc products, I even combined them. I didn’t know any better, and realistically speaking when I saw greater skin problems when using them, I dropped them. But when I actually learned more about what to look for in wrinkle creams and so on in later years and then evaluated Roc products, it made more sense. They don’t have any actual skin benefitting or specific wrinkle fighting ingredients. So this means that obviously you really aren’t going to see results. But I also found quite a few harmful preservatives in there, which would definitely explain the greater skin damage I personally experienced. So it’s to the point where you really just shouldn’t use Roc Retinol products. They obviously aren’t worth the costs you are paying, and they won’t give you the benefits you are looking for. All in all, they are more likely to cause greater damage and premature aging in general.
