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 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? 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. And this is why so many of us are affected by dry skin around the eyes.}

We all know that smoking cigarettes and spending too much time in the sun will harm our skin and lead to the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Although we can avoid these two causes, what we cannot escape is the inevitable process of growing older. 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. 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 is Phytessence Wakame which is an exotic kelp that is found in Japan. This works by blocking a harmful enzyme in your body. Cynergy TK is the name of another ingredient which actually encourages the regrowth of collagen in your skin.}

Since the skin around the eyes is particularly delicate there are special creams and gels for use on this area of your face. One ingredient that has proved to be very effective is EyelissTM. Up to now this has been a secret shared only by Hollywood stars and other celebrities. Its effects are dramatic and fast. Bags under the eyes are reduced and wrinkles smoothed.
