This week I'm obsessed with... Evio Tear Catchers Hydrogel Eye Therapy Patches with Retinol & Vitamin C!

I loves me some skincare, and I especially appreciate it when there is something inspiring about it! In the case of Evio it would be the founder, Brandi Leifso who went from living in a domestic violence shelter at 21 to leveraging $15 and a laptop to teach herself Photoshop, create product mock-ups and pre-sell them to local boutiques. This helped her get back on her feet and employ other women in shelters before growing Evio to a multi-award winning brand - who better then someone who has faced serious stress and the effect it has on your skin to formulate products to help minimize the damage! 

Evio Tear Catchers Hydrogel Eye Therapy Patches with Retinol & Vitamin C - 6 pairs - $22 - helps reduce the appearance of hyper pigmentation, dark circles, fine lines and crows feet and visibly de-puffs under eyes with a targeted formula that combines vitamin C - to brighten dark circles and even skin tone; with retinol - to smooth fine lines and boost cell turnover; while hydrating jojoba and coconut oils - lock in moisture, delivering instant hydration and long-term skin renewal. 

 

They work best when you keep them on for at least 20 minutes, I have been known to forget they are there and have a nap with them on and what is most impressive to me is once they are on, they don't move so even after a nap they were still where I put them. They also have a nice cooling effect that is amplified if you leave them in the fridge for a bit before applying!

 

And for even more inspiration, Brandi continues to make a difference by having made Evio an impact led brand defined by three core pillars: Educate, Donate, and Advocate. They are dedicated to supporting women, men, and children affected by domestic violence. 

Educate: They are partnered with FreeFrom.org to continuously educate themselves and the community, gaining insights from the diverse experiences and perspectives of survivors. 

Donate: To date, they’ve contributed over $500,000 to more than 28 shelters and nonprofits across North America, helping survivors heal and thrive. 

Advocate: They actively push for domestic violence leave policies with all of their partners, striving to break the cycle as a community.
