Eye treatments aren't too popular with clients in my area, so I don't even bother with them...but I would be curious to see the suggestions you get Heather :)

I have wondered this as well. I am considering getting a jade roller. I would use it to "push in" an eye serum. I have had a jade roller used on me that was chilled. It felt amazing and definitely added to the experience.

I have seen the collagen eye masks in the Universal Catalog, but they seemed fairly expensive and 1-time-only.

You've had a lot of views on this - Esthy's let's brainstorm!

I have ordered the collagen eye masks-not all that exciting & yes-expensive!

I am going to Google jade rollers...news to me, but sounds nice ")

Thanks for the idea! Keep them coming!!!

So far I am pretty happy with Skin Scripts eye peptide serum but for a one time treatment for eyes to really notice a difference I like the idea of green tea bags dipped in cool water and used during the mask. From what I read only products with arnica and Vit K really make a difference.

Thanks VIctoria!

What type of green tea bags are you using?

Julia-

I Googled the jade rollers & only found them coming from China & Hong Kong....

Where did you get your rollers from?

Heather right now I use Bigelow but what that is just what my husband picked up at the Grocery LoL...not particular brand and sometimes I use chamomile Celestial Tea.

Heather -

I do not have my own roller, I had another esthetician use one on me in a facial. You can find them on Amazon.com. I expect that those come from China and Hong Kong as well.

You can find an article about jade rollers on SkinInc. Just found it. Treatment Styles, Spiced up

I will likely get an inexpensive one to try it out. It has been my experience, there is no difference in some products yet the prices can vary widely. (Case in point - "Wax Sticks" or Large Craft Sticks - major price difference - no actual difference.)

I will post if I find more information.

Cheers!

Julia

Repechage Opti-firm eye treatment masks. I love the uni-dose, step-by-step, convenience. They usually come 4-7 to a box. You give the client a great eye, forehead, brow, pressure point massage then whip up a seaweed mask that goes directly over the lashes and everything. When it dries it peels off like rubber and nothing is left behind - you cannot mess it up because all the ingredients is pre-measured for you and its a great, target treatment - takes about 15 minutes. My clients see immediate results and a lifted, brightened appearance of the area lasts for days. Check out Lydia Sarfati's massage techniques on youtube.com as well. You will learn a lot!

I used Repchage in my first salon job and loved her products so this sounds delightful! Thanks Isabella for the recommendation and I will consider it for an add on treatment.
