When it comes to makeup and skincare, few do it as well as the French. I mean, just look at how life-changing every CeraVe product is (BTW, did you know they have a new chemical exfoliator that’s already getting rave reviews?). So, when I stumbled upon a moisturizer that shoppers call “magic,” I wasn’t surprised at all.

According to shoppers, Avène’s Hydrance Aqua-Gel Cream is a truly do-it-all product. It can act as a daily moisturizer, overnight mask, and under-eye gel. The lightweight cream is jam-packed with anti-aging ingredients that even out the look and smooth the feel of skin. It’s so effective that one shopper said it’s “the best [moisturizer] I have ever used. 56 and I look 36.”

The reason this anti-aging cream is so versatile is because of its heavy-lifting ingredients. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate skin, and it also is made with cohederm, a trio of skin-savers that is known to restore your skin’s barrier while also preventing water loss. Also worth mentioning: the vegan formula is designed without parabens, soy, and other prominent allergens.

This is the kind of technology that we expect from a brand that’s nearly three centuries old. Shopper after shopper have heralded this moisturizer for its repairing and rejuvenating capabilities.

“They’re not lying,” one reviewer wrote. “This stuff is magic (and it smells amazing). I even saw results after one day of using this. My skin is glowy and hydrated without being greasy or tacky after use. AND my extremely sensitive skin is has had 0 problems with this. It’s a life-saver for everyone, especially those with very sensitive skin.”

So, basically, we’re adding this to our list of anti-aging hero products and adding it into our carts ASAP.

You are so excited… your first grandchild has arrived into the world! You want to jump in and take over, but then your children don’t want you interfering.

I get this question all the time. “What did I do wrong? My children are upset with me… but I thought I was doing the right thing.”

Many times, new grandparents aren’t sure how to move forward. People tell me they want to be part of the beautiful experience of grandparenthood. They want to move full steam ahead. All they can think about is their grandchild and everything they’re going to do with him or her.

Your expectations are high, but the new parents may behave in a way that feels like they are pushing you away. Or, perhaps they are so anxious they call you four times a day wondering how to do this or that.

I did some informal research and asked my daughter’s friends, who are all having or recently had babies, what they thought is the best advice to new grandparents.

I heard these resounding comments over and over:

Ask Before You Do

Always ask your children, the parents of your grandchild, first. Don’t assume that your children are going to parent the exact same way you do or did.

Respect the New Parents’ Decisions

It’s all about healthy boundaries. If your kids say “no” don’t over ride their decision because you think you know better. Remember, this new family is trying to find their way. It is a trial-and-error experience. You might not like it, but interfering will only put distance between you and the new parents.

Focus on the Needs of the New Parents, aka, Your Children

Look for ways you can support them. On the emotional front, listen, listen, listen! If they talk about their exhaustion, acknowledge the fatigue that comes with the challenges of being first-time parents.

Gently offer suggestions on how to handle certain issues, but only if you ask them first. You can say, “I have an idea that might help… Do you want to hear it?” If they say yes, share. If they say no, let it go.

I think the biggest takeaway is to understand that you are weaving a new relationship with your children and your grandchild. It’s not just about the baby. Don’t try to take over. Move gently and slowly because you are working with a new family that is finding their way.

You will have a better relationship in the long run.

You know that feeling when your under eyes are so tired that it feels like a weight is dragging them down? It’s the absolute worst, and we wouldn’t wish it upon even our loudest upstairs neighbor—and that says a lot. 

But your eyes don’t have to feel or look this way, because beauty obsessives have found a solution they swear by. You might recognize Tula’s best-selling Glow & Get It Eye Balm. It’s like a ristretto shot from Starbucks, but for your under eyes, and it has been a customer-favorite for a while now. Fan or not, you should know that there’s a new skin-saving sheriff in town and its name is Rose Glow & Get It.

This pink-tubed eye balm takes the original Glow & Get It one step further. The creamy formula tones and nourishes, but also helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Don’t get us wrong, it still has the same powerhouse ingredients of its predecessor, like hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and aloe. But, now, you can reap the benefits of rosewater and rosehip oil (aka great plant-based alternatives for retinol), too. 

You don’t need to throw away hundreds of dollars on fancy glass jars of eye cream to get amazing results. Just try Tula’s Rose Glow & Get It Eye Balm and your under eyes will be smooth, awake, and ready to conquer the day.

“I really like its cooling effect and how it feels as if it’s instantly removing puffiness and gently tightening any fine wrinkles or lines,” wrote one reviewer who gave the eye balm a perfect rating. “I bought a second one to carry with me in my purse.” Other shoppers can relate, as they, too, toss this little pink tube into their bags for quick pick-me-ups throughout the day. 

“After using this each morning for a couple of weeks, I can honestly say this is a fantastic product,” wrote another shopper.

“It goes on smooth and easy, feels great, cooling without burning or bothering my eyes.” And they even go on to confirm that the formula is suitable for all the sensitive skin folks out there. “I have very sensitive eyes and have no issues. This balm has been reducing under eye puffiness and helps me look less tired.”

The best and only advice we can give you right now is that you should really listen to these reviews. To get eyes that look youthful and feel refreshed, swipe on Tula’s Rose Glow & Get It Eye Balm. You might not even need that afternoon cup of coffee anymore.
