A Message from the Editor

Ever find yourself hiding behind big sunglasses, a bit shy about imperfections around your eyes? Many of Dr. Perricone’s patients express concern about signs of aging in the eye area—which is no surprise, since this delicate region is one of the first to show telltale signs of aging, fatigue, and stress. Amy’s story—see "The Eyes Have It," below—illustrates the cumulative aging effects of these three factors, and the best ways to fight back.

Dr. Perricone's account explains why we typically recommend a dynamic trio for eye area beauty: Alpha Lipoic Acid Eye Area Therapy in conjunction with Vitamin C Ester Eye Area Therapy, supported by Face Finishing Moisturizer, should you have deep lines that extend into the temple area.

To help get you started, we have a special offer: When you order full-size ALA Eye Area Therapy or VCE Eye Area Therapy products by August 31, 2003, we'll send you a FREE travel size of Face Finishing Moisturizer—a retail value of $12.50—with each one.

Until next time,

The Eyes Have It: Amy's Story
by Nicholas V. Perricone, M.D.

Amy's story offers both inspiration and warning to all of us who think we are indestructible! Amy is a 27-year-old graduate student at a nearby university, working toward her doctorate in molecular biology. Up until a year ago, Amy had been a stay-at-home mom, having postponed the completion of her studies to raise a baby daughter. An unexpected divorce necessitated that she return to school, and work long hours as a research lab assistant.

Amy devoted herself wholeheartedly to caring for little Emily, but also loved to work and study hard, and she appeared on the brink of exhaustion when I first met her. Only great strength of will kept her going. Ironically, it was not fatigue that concerned her.

Amy consulted me because she wanted to begin dating again, but was concerned about her appearance. Despite enjoying excellent skin, she had deep, dark circles under her eyes, edema (puffiness) in her eyelids, and was developing "crow’s feet"—a network of fine lines on the outer edge of the eye. "I’m not even 30," Amy cried, "but I look and feel about 90!" While that was an exaggeration, Amy did look older than her years.

After learning Amy’s medical history and current skin regimen, I inquired into her eating and sleeping habits. "I am lucky to get six hours of sleep a night, and my schedule leaves little time for preparing meals." (Many of my female patients juggle full time careers, family demands, and household chores, often putting their own needs on hold!)

"Our skin is just a reflection of our inner health and well-being," I explained. "If we want to look good on the outside we have to follow a few simple rules: Eat enough quality protein for cellular repair, get enough sleep, eat lots of dark cooking greens and brightly colored fresh fruit and vegetables for their anti-oxidants, and be sure to add healthful, antiinflammatory fats, such as those in olive oil, wild salmon, seeds (especially flax), and nuts.

I told Amy that rather than making the puffiness around her eyes worse, drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water per day would help get rid of it. I also started Amy on ....
