The resurgence of the handmade and bespoke - Ophelia Chong

What I will be doing for Socialized is to go back a century. The Vandercook letterpress I will be using is the offspring of the Gutenberg press (1450).

I believe that the internet is bringing information to the public the same way Gutenberg did with his press. Like the communications media which preceded it, the best use of the Internet is that which is bespoke, or handcrafted, for a particular purpose, audience, aesthetic and objective.

Before Gutenberg, the bible was hand written and only available to the few who could afford one. Once he started printing, the bible and other books were then made available at an affordable price, and the golden age of publicly available information was born.

Now with the internet, we have the same revolution where all information is available. Bad, good, wrong, right, everything. There will be a day when there will be someone like me who will resurrect the Archaic form of the “internet” as an artform.

Pharmagel Eye Prote Creme Elixir Treatment dark circles

Item number: 160222056102

EYE PROTÉ™, a holistic recipe of pharmaceutical and medically tested ingredients, reverses the ravages of time on eye area wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles and lost tone and elasticity.

The delicate skin surrounding the eye is fragile and thin and the need for a protective shield of recovery is as powerful as the actives in EYE PROTÉ™. The fragile collagen fibers surrounding the eye are vulnerable to wrinkles, poor circulation and fatigue. This sensitive and vulnerable area needs a daily pampering of hydration, stimulation and rejuvenation to stave off premature aging. EYE PROTÉ™ contains PERFLUORODECALIN, a highly activated oxygen booster, medically tested and used during eye surgeries for rapid tissue repair. This remarkable ingredient breathes life into cells surrounding the delicate eye contours. The powerful antioxidants and herbal actives in EYE PROTÉ™ re-firm, re-surface, lift and tone the surrounding eye area tissue. EYE PROTÉ™ contains pharmaceutical grade ingredients which are of a molecular weight that allows for rapid penetration into the dermis. Remarkable and lasting results are yours with a daily regimen of EYE PROTÉ™. This fragrance free, non comedogenic (will not clog pores) eye crème elixir will re-firm and re-surface your eyes to ageless beauty.

Method of Use:
Apply to delicate eye contours AM & PM until thoroughly absorbed.

Active Ingredients:
Perfluorodecalin (a highly activated oxygen booster), Squalane (vegetable source) highly penetrating humectant - light and non-greasy, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) antioxidant that offers anti-aging benefits.

Benefits:
Perfluorodecalin is a remarkable oxygen booster, medically tested and used during eye surgeries for rapid tissue repair.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) promotes the regeneration of damaged and aging skin. Squinting encourages crows feet and breaks down collagen fibers.

The skin around the eye is thinner than other facial skin.

The eye area is the first to show signs of age and fatigue.

It is important to use only non-comedogenic products on and around the eye area tissue, otherwise bumps and tiny cysts can develop in this sensitive area. All Pharmagel® products are non-comedogenic.
