In spite of a variety of cosmetic products available on the market, some people still may face dry skin. In some of them the problem is connected only with dry skin around the eyes while the rest of the face remains well moisturized. There are many reasons behind this issue but almost each of them is treatable.
What Causes Dry Skin around Eyes?
The skin around the eyes is actually the most delicate skin of the entire body, highly susceptible to any environmental changes. Such skin can be easily damaged if not protected adequately and timely. The skin around the eyes is also the first affected by wrinkles. So, if dryness of such skin occurs, the risk of premature aging increases and one may easily end up with wrinkles much before these skin changes are supposed to occur.
Skin dryness affecting the area around the eyes is commonly associated with excess sunbathing without appropriate protection. No matter whether the exposure is natural (the sun) or artificial (sunbeds) such skin gets equally damaged and becomes dry.
Improper nutrition and intake of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants is another cause of dry skin around the eyes. Even inadequate care of the area, inappropriate facial creams or excess of makeup may contribute to the condition.
People who are under chronic stress, smokers and individuals who do not sleep enough may also suffer from dry skin around the eyes.
The problem can be prevented and treated, but one should change bad habits and correct behavior do that dry skin does not reoccur. The area is supposed to be well moisturized and prior purchasing any cosmetic product, one is due to consult his/her dermatologist who will recommend the best product according to person's type of skin and the severity of the problem.Dry Skin around Eyes - Remedies
