A sample of Elizabeth Arden The Original Eight Hour Cream could not have arrived at a better time, as snow continues to hit the East End. It’s incredibly effective and has multiple uses—no wonder it has a cult following! Made with petrolatum and vitamin E, it instantly smoothens cuticles and heals chapped lips and dry skin. A very small amount rubbed into cheekbones gives a dewy radiance and it can also be used to smooth over eyebrows. If you love the results, give the rest of the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour skincare line a try. The latest among these is the Nighttime Miracle Moisturizer. It comes in a jar with instructions to take a small amount and rub between your hands, taking a whiff of the lavender essence, and then applying to face and neck. The texture is rich, even for a gel. Being prone to the occasional breakout, I was a little apprehensive, but decided to give it a shot. It was lighter than I had thought, was quickly absorbed and by morning, my skin looked, for the first time in weeks, balanced and healthy. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour products are available at department stores such as Macy’s in Hampton Bays and at elizabetharden.com.
