Having dry skin beneath your eyes is a condition that affects many of us and so is not that unusual. Dry skin around the eyes is the condition that, if left untreated, often develops into bags under the eyes and those other signs of growing older.
So, what is the cause of this dry skin beneath the eyes and why is it that the skin around our eyes is particularly affected by this dryness? In general the secretion of oil through glands in our pores is natures way of keeping our skin sufficiently moisturized. But the skin around our eyes is particularly tender and 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.
Although we can avoid these two causes, what we cannot escape is the inevitable process of growing older. As the years pass the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin diminishes and the result is a loss of firmness with the associated lines and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin are two essential proteins to keep our skin looking smooth and firm.
Fortunately there are skin care products that contain ingredients that encourage the production of collagen and so help your skin to retain its youthful appearance. One of these ingredients is an exotic kelp known as Phytessence Wakame which comes from 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. It has mainly been a secret of Hollywood stars and other celebrities. It has a dramatic effect in reducing bags under the eyes, and smoothing out wrinkles. And it works amazingly fast.
