How to help the dry skin around eyes

Facial skin is extremely vulnerable to the conditions found in different environments. Sun, smoke and weather conditions can all affect the cellular structure of the skin. Dry skin around eyes can also be experienced by people who work long hours or watch television for extended periods of time. The is because the area around the eyes is particularly sensitive because there is less fat and oil in the underlying tissue. To reduce or prevent the dryness in this area it is recommended to avoid exposure to the sun, quit or cut down on smoking and get a good night’s sleep.

People who have dryness around their eyes can choose to use natural products to hydrate the tissue. There are a couple of home remedies for dry skin around the eyes, which anyone can use. Tea is a natural substance containing healing properties. A used tea bag can be placed under the eye to help hydrate the surrounding tissues. This works better if the bag is refrigerated for a period of time first and then used for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Natural oils such as almond or castor oil, will also work well in reducing the dry skin because they are easily absorbed into the cells. The oil is used in combination with a massaging technique using small circular motions around the eyes. Both of the products can probably be found in your pantry and are worth a shot.

In addition to the natural products people can use as dry skin remedies, there are a couple of commercial products available as well. Hydrolyze under eye treatment is a cream containing several ingredients designed to improve the appearance around the eyes has gotten a lot of buzz or should I say commercial time.. This item is designed to improve dry skin by using moisturizers that penetrate the surface to work on the cells below. In hydrating the cells the under eye area should become smoother and plumper, which removes the lines and wrinkles. With a two star rating on Amazon and plenty of sites claiming its a scam it might be a good idea to stay away from this product.

Another commercial brand is Loreal Skin Genesis Daily Eye Treatment Eye Serum. This is a serum designed to help firm and tone the skin as well as hydrate it. This product is made to work in four hours and refreshes the whole eye area to make the face look brighter and younger. This product is created for daily use and helps the cells in their production of collagen so the skin’s surface looks smoother and softer. Ideal Skin Genesis gets slightly better reviews and seems to have an average rating at many different sites. At under $8 compared to the $70 of Hydrolyze it may be worth a try. Note that one of the biggest complaints seems to be that its not good for sensitive skin. So if you are in that category you may want to stick to the natural remedies above.

In the end taking care of the dry skin around your eyes may be best accomplished by using protective sunscreen products and getting a good nights rest.
