Have Your Say

You should not think that you are the only person who has dry skin beneath your eyes since this is a fairly common condition that is experienced by many. Dry skin around the eyes can cause concern because it affects your appearance and can lead to the development of bags under the eyes and other signs of aging.

It is important to understand what causes this dry skin beneath the eyes and why it is that this area of our faces is especially prone to this condition. Our bodies have a natural mechanism for keeping our skin moisturised by the secretion of oil through glands in the skin. However the area beneath our eyes does not have as many oil glands. So this is the explanation why dry skin around the eyes affects so many of us.}

It is common knowledge that excessive exposure to the sun and smoking cigarettes are the two main causes of damage to your skin. While we can steer clear of these two, there is no way of avoiding the third which is the year by year passage of time. As we age the collagen and elastin in our skin begins to break down and this results in the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. The proteins collagen and elastin are essential to keep our skin firm and smooth.

Luckily for us there are skin care products that have been designed to stimulate the production of collagen in our bodies and so enable our complexion to defy the passing of the years. One of these is Phytessence Wakame which is an exotic kelp that is found in Japan. This works by blocking a harmful enzyme in your body. Another is Cynergy TK which has the effect of stimulating your own collagen to grow again.}

Because the area around the eyes has very thin membranes there are special creams and gels to treat dry skin in this area. One ingredient that has proved to be very effective is EyelissTM. Until recently this was the jealously concealed secret of big celebrities. It has a dramatic effect in reducing bags under the eyes, and smoothing out wrinkles. And it works amazingly fast.
