SURE, the eyes are the
window to the soul.
But when you’re tired
or stressed they’re also
& major beauty buster.

Pauffiness and dark circles

can be the direct result of

inadequate sleep or
overindulgence. Crow's feet
and fine lines can be the
accumulate effeet of years in
the sun.

Eating well, getting
enough rest and wearing
shades outdoors will certain-
ly help to maintaining that
yourhful gaze. But when
your peepers need to be
pampered, it’s nice to give
them a skincare treat.

Chanel has just intro-
duced a three-step treat-
ment.

Eye Protection Total
Defense Lotion (S60) con-
tains vitamins E and C to
help restore beauty to the
eye contour area. Eye Lift
Intense Corrective Eye
Complex ($60) contains
horsctail, corntlower and cal-
endula to help correct the
appearance of dark under-eve
circles and reduce puffiness.
Contour Des Yeux Firming
Eye Cream (S55) hydrates
and softens the eye area
while working to restore sup-
pleness to the skin.

In April, Biotherm will
introduce Hydra-Detox Yeux
to drug-store shelves.
There’s a moisturizing eve
gel with gingko biloba to
tone the eye area ($37) and
moisturizing mask (S30)

with thermal plankton to.

soothe dehydrated skin.

Another easy at-home
remedy is as close as the cor-
ner grocer and more eco-
nomical still.

Relaxing with chilled bags
of camomile tea over the lids
helps to reduce puffiness. Or
place slices of cucumber or
raw potato over the cyes.

Soft dressing in style for spring

MOULE'’S successful
expansion into the
U.S. the past two
years has been a boon
for its Canadian cus-
tomers.

Larger production runs
have allowed the family-run
clothing company to lower
its prices, meaning fans of
Moule’s sofi-dressing sepa-
rates can now get more of a
good thing.

With two stores each in
Winnipeg and Vancouver
(Kirsilano’s Fourth Avenue
and Park Royal's south
mall), Moule offers options
for one-size dressing trom its
private label collections,
Moule and Mara. For
spring, Moule’s trademark
fabric hand-loomed in
North Africa is combined
with silk, satin and organza
for elegant evening looks.

Classic black and white
are joined by lilac, moss
green and a rich red.
