I used to read magazines wondering why people said their
must have beauty product is Elizibeth Arden 8Hour Cream. I was even more baffled when i noticed it was for minor cuts/grazes and soothes minor skin irritations. I now understand, why this is probabley one of the
best ever beauty products.
It can be used for;
Healing inperfections/spots : Not just tiny spots, most spots. As soon as you can notice any sign of spot attack, dab a tiny bit on the area and let it do it's thing. It will be gone is probabley no more than 2 days. (in my experience.)
Fask Mask : Although the consistency is a little oily, using this liberally all over the face would give it an intense moisture boost, while healing imperfections and smoothing out the face. This is great on dry skin, although i'm not sure the benefits on oily skin, but if you was to try, use a little less.
Healing under eye circles : If you put a little bit udner each eye before sleeping, you wake up looking more refreshed and no dark circles.
Highlight : You can use it to highlight cheekbones and other parts of the body. Although i havn't tried this yet, i have read models use it on catwalks often, although it might not feel terribley nice.
Helps heal cuts/grazes/plucking eyebrows : This is its primary use, to help the healing process, although in regards to beauty, it really sooths the skin after plucking and the redness is reduced considerabily after a short period of time.
Moisture boost for nails : I get really dry nails after a few days, so just putting a little bit on the cuitcles and even all over the nails can help them look more refreshed and not feeling horribley dry and flakey anymore. If you have the time, it can be used as a longer treatment by putting a bit more on and letting it soak in.
Keeps brows in place : Rather than use a seperate brow gel, this really does hold brows in place for a long time, although not a lot is needed.
A wonderful lipbalm : This gives lips a massive moisture boost and it feels amazing on them. It really heals any sore spots too, so this could be especially good in winter or even in summer when the sun drys them out. It can also be applied over a matte lipstick to add some shine and gloss.
Anti-frizz for hair : It can help keep hair 'together' and smooth hair out, especially in frizzy areas, although i would say not a lot is needed.
A Moisture treat for dry heels : If you have dry heels and wanting to show them off, especially in summer heels and flipflops, put some 8hour cream on them at night, quite a lot, and put some socks on them, and when you wake up you'll have soft heels!
There are even more ways to use this cream, so if you have any which arn't listed here, please post them and i'll add them!
Angeltreats tip is to mix a bit of elizibeth arden cream in with some powder eyeshadow and it turns it into a nice creamy one!
The price of this is £20 from most places, and although that seems expensive, i don't think it is for what it can do, plus it lasts around 6 months at least with everyday use. I was lucky and managed to get the skin protectant, handcream and body cream all free with my ELLE subscription! :)
Does anyone have any other uses for this cream?
