There are several factors that make the area around your eyes more vulnerable.
- The skin around your eyes is extremely thin, so it is more susceptible to deterioration. As a result, it’s more prone to laxity, developing fine lines and wrinkles, becoming looser, and even thinner.
- The tissue below the eyes is naturally missing a lot of essential elements that make your skin strong-there’s very little soft tissue, like fat or muscle. Lack of those supporting elements increases the likelihood of the skin caving in.
- There is also the issue of dark circles and puffiness that can be a result of lack of sleep, diet and stress.
When it comes to restoring a youthful look, your eyes are your greatest opportunity. Whether it is wrinkles, hollowness, puffiness, or just fatigue, your eyes reveal ageing before any other part of your face.
As you age, your skin becomes thinner, especially around your eyes. You need collagen type Ill to combat this and Ampsyncol stimulates its production.
Annique’s Eye Therapy is a rich, nutritious eye cream, especially formulated for the minimising of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area.

Repair your skin at night
Annique’s Forever Young Crème de Nuit is the ideal anti-ageing night cream! Because it is richer in nourishment and moisture than normal night cream, it attends to the extra requirements needed by aged skin.
Contains VNA 10+ to boost collagen, macadamia nut oil to help retain moisture and Rooibos extract, a powerful anti-ageing ingredient.
- Improves skin’s elasticity
- Increases skin’s moisture content
- Prevents premature ageing
Application Tip: For best results, use with your skin appropriate serums, followed by Skin Detox, Revitalising Cream and the moisturiser suited to your skin, for a new degree of moisture and suppleness.
Importance of Night Cream
Night time is when skin does its maintenance work. Like the rest of the body, skin does the bulk of its repairing, restoring, and regenerating while we sleep, so night creams are focused on recovery.
The result is that night creams are often richer, thicker, or heavier than moisturisers. Night creams can also promote the production of collagen – a protein that contributes to the skin’s firmness and suppleness, thus helping to smooth wrinkles.
Day creams are primarily focused on protection and support, while night creams focused on moisture and recovery.

Why Annique?
Annique’s night creams can be categorised as treatment products, due to the active ingredients they contain and the specific skin concerns they address. The skin is also far more susceptible to healing and absorbing nutrients from Annique skincare products as we sleep. Therefore, to ensure that you receive the full benefit from your night cream, it is strongly recommended that you use your moisturiser with your preferred night cream at night.

Rooibos tea has the potential to delay and prevent the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes.
Prof Christo Muller, Chief Specialist Scientist at the SAMRC, who has led a number of research projects focusing on the effectiveness of Rooibos in the treatment of T2D, confirms Rooibos’ potential to help control diabetes, in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes.
“Diabetes is amongst the most prevalent diseases of lifestyle of our time, with about one in 14 South Africans between the ages of 21 and 79 suffering from the condition. Many are also unaware that they have diabetes and are living with dangerously high blood sugar levels, increasing the likelihood of developing diabetic complications such as blindness, renal failure, amputation, heart attack and stroke, which is a frightening outlook. Our research found that an aspalathin-enriched extract of green Rooibos effectively lowered raised blood glucose levels in diabetic rats,” says Prof Christo Muller, Chief Specialist Scientist at the SAMRC.
“Rooibos is a unique South African plant, which offers almost limitless health benefits. The plant’s medicinal properties continue to astound scientists,” he remarks.
Here are some of the benefits that may be derived from drinking Rooibos tea:
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes associated cardiovascular disease
- Maintaining healthy blood pressure
- Preventing blood clots
