You should take a good care of the skin surrounding your eyes. Due to its delicacy and thin nature, it is prone to several problems. Don’t risk these issues, do everything in your power to protect yourself. If you take care of the skin, these conditions can be beaten and your appearance will remain youthful and glowing. Here are some of the most common under-eye skin issues.
Poor Tone
Dead skin can make your face look dull. Exposure to UV light can cause skin discolorations including white and brown spots, and they are most common in the under-eye area. Chemical exfoliants can be used to get rid of this issue. The most common are alpha and beta hydroxy acid. They remove the top layer of the skin and reduce discolorations, dullness and lighten the skin. These exfoliants are much better than regular scrubbing and granular ones which can be quite harsh on the skin and irritate the area around the eyes.
Dryness
Like everyone else, you probably miss the eye area when applying moisturizer. This is the most common reason this area is often dehydrated. Dry skin can easily dehydrate and get damaged than any other skin type. It can look red with white lines and apparent wrinkles. Dermatologists often recommend using good moisturizer specially designed for under-eye area. Make sure it contains glycerin.
Under-eye bags
Skin inflammations often lead to the appearance of bags under the eyes. These bags make the makeup application almost impossible. Even if you succeed, it will probably look bad. This is more of an aesthetic problem than a medical one, but it’s still an issue.
To reduce the problem, try sleeping with the head above rest of the body. The moist cloth cooled in a refrigerator can partly reduce the inflammation.
Dark circles
This is probably the most common among under-eye skin problems. Girl and women around the world battle these nasty circles. No one knows exactly what causes them. There are various reasons for them to show up like sleep deprivation, sick kidneys, bad diet, not enough daily light… They are caused by dark veins under the skin and because the skin is thin, delicate and almost transparent, these veins are easily visible.
To try and solve the issue, buy a cream that is specially designed for this, with ingredients like retinol, alpha-hydroxy acid, vitamins C and K. Vitamins can contract these dark veins and thicken the skin around the eyes, to make it healthier looking and less dark.
Cysts
Cysts are round or dome-shaped lesions which contain some fluid material. They can be fluctuant or firm.
There are several types of cysts, we’re not going to describe them separately, but if you see one, make sure your doctor checks it.
They are often benign, but in some cases, can cause big complications.
Conclusion
Try using the soft moisturizer from the young age. By the way, these issues are not just reserved for women. Skin problems can happen to anyone, at any time. If you think you have a serious condition or some eye allergies, visit your dermatologist fast.
