Winter-eyes.

Many of us wear sunglasses during the sunny summer months and then forget all about them during the other three seasons, especially north of Florida, Arizona and California. Sunshine is sunshine no matter the season, which is why experts recommend wearing shades all year around.

The damage sun can do to eyes and the tender skin around the eyes can be quite dramatic. Skiers and snowboarders know this so they wear sunglasses or tinted goggles on the slopes. We recommend carrying Kerstin Florian Rejuvenating Eye Creme in your purse for a quick refresher. It helps fight lines and wrinkles while firming the skin and reducing the appearance of dark eye circles. It also reapplies over makeup without smudging.

When looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses, keep these tips in mind. Find a comfortable pair (or several pairs) that fit your sense of style; look for lenses that filter out at least 99% of UV-A and UV-B rays; small sunglasses don’t do a good job of protecting eyes from sun damage and keeping the surrounding skin from wrinkling. You’ll look cool in your new shades and you’ll be protecting yourself at the same time. Talk about a win-win situation.
