Caring for the skin around the eyes isn′t a new topic. Women (and now, men) have been looking for solutions to their eye skin care problems for generations.

Synthetic and chemical-based ingredients paved the way to replace natural eye skin care processes. The natural ingredients which were commonly used to treat eye wrinkles and dark circles were replaced by factory-created ingredients.

Everyone wants results and no one wants to wait for them. We all want the solution ‘right now.’ Unfortunately, with some of the fast fix ‘manufactured′ treatments came preservatives and even cancer-causing elements.

Even commercial natural skin care products had to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life, hence making them less effective than the homemade versions.

Overwhelmingly, consumers are looking for more natural alternatives to help solve common eye skin care problems, like dark eye circles and eye puffiness.

The proliferation of hundreds of new herbal skin care product lines has made organic and natural problem solvers more popular. But the research has been going on for years. Dermalogica Products were developed in 1986 with the goal of creating skin care products that worked without the addition of irritating and harmful ingredients.

The proven ingredients that are included in today’s natural, premium eye skin care products are plentiful, including:

salicylic acid

- salicylic acid

- benzoyl peroxide

- Vitamin C

Aloe vera, which is an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples of herbal skin care product. Freshly extracted aloe vera is a natural hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and treating sun burns.

A number of herbs are known to possess cleansing properties. Dandelion, chamomile, lime flowers and rosemary herbs, are a few examples of such cleansers. Their herbal skin care properties get invoked when they are combined with other herbs like tea.

The Dermalogica Eye Total Eye Care SPF 15 contains bisabolol, a derivative of chamomile known to sooth and retexturize the skin around the eyes. This ingredient helps reduce the appearance of eye puffiness and eye wrinkles.

Tea is an important part of herbal skin care, particular when it comes to puffy eyes and dark circles. Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair contains green tea, cucumber, arnica (perennial healing herb) and Vitamin A.

Oils derived from herbal extracts are another form of herbal skin care. Tea tree oil, Lavender oil, borage oil and primrose oil are some popular oils used in herbal skin care. Some fruit oils (e.g. extracts from fruits like banana, apple and melon) find use in shower gels (as a hydrating mix)

Most herbal skin care products do not have side effects (the most important reason for preferring them over synthetic products). And when it comes to the sensitive area around our eyes, its even more important to take the natural or herbal route when looking for eye skin care products that deliver results. Dermalogica Eye Products is one such brand. The ingredients used in Dermalogica Products are gentle, non-irritating, non-harmful, yet incredibly effective.

Can′t ask for much more than that.

Herbal skin care isn’t a new breakthrough; it has been in practice for generations, at a time when herbal skin care was most likely the only way to take care for the skin. However, herbal skin care, for the eyes in particular, has transformed in a big way.

For a time, herbal skin care ingredients had been replaced by factory-created ingredient ‘breakthroughs.’ The natural eye skin care treatments which used to be handed down from generation to generation was lost to highly commercialized, manufactured treatments.

We all want results and we all want them right now. That’s what the eye skin care professionals heard, so some responded with products that technically worked quickly, but contained irritating and harmful ingredients.

Even commercial natural eye skin care products had to be mixed with preservatives in order to maintain their shelf-life, which potentially made them more harmful than the homemade versions.
