Eye Skin Care
Feb 23, 2009
Skin is the largest organ in the human body, but all skin is not created equal. For instance, the skin around the eyes is very sensitive and needs extra care throughout our entire lives. Luckily, there are special steps we can take to protect these delicate areas.
Most importantly, get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night. Getting a healthy supply of rest and relaxation will help eliminate puffiness around the eyes and sleeping with your head slightly elevated will reduce unsightly dark under-eye circles. And speaking of dark circles, did you know you could get rid of them by dipping cotton pads in chilled milk and placing the pads on closed eyelids for ten minutes? This helps relax the skin muscles around the eye. Those who work at a computer will find this particularly beneficial as it helps reduce the eyestrain associated with prolonged periods of monitor watching. Raw potato slices on closed lids for about twenty minutes will help strengthen those muscles, also reducing strain.
Always use an eye cream, such as Dermalex-MD around the area of the eye to help retain moisture. Use your ring finger to apply cream by dotting it around the eye area. Do not rub it in! Rubbing the area can cause elasticity breakdown in the skin and eye infections.
In addition to these “do’s” of eye skin care, there are also some definite “do not’s.” For instance, take your mother’s advice and do not sit too close to the television. At least 15 feet away is a good rule to follow. If you wear contact lenses, follow the instructions on care and maintenance. Placing your contact lenses in your mouth to clean them and then in your eyes is not only inviting infection, it’s also just gross!
Be gentle with the skin around the eyes. Keep it properly hydrated and avoid strain and contamination. Following these few simple guidelines will have you defying the age gods and keep you looking your best.

Great suggestions! I sit at a desk all day long, and never realized doing so is bad for my eyes! I’ll try to milk and potatoe slices out, I have also heard to use tea bags on your eyes to alleviate puffiness an what not! Thanks for the tips

I’ve heard the tea bag trick on the eyes too. I also know that if you get a sunburn, anywhere, not just around the eyes, that you can rub a wet teabag on it to take out some of the sting and redness.

The dermalx works very well. You can still slighty see darkness under my eyes (i am not complaning)but it has visibly made it appear much better than it did before.

I was told by a friend too to use a little avocado and olive oil under your eyes and around wrinkles. Mash a little up together, don’t make it too runny, make it like a paste. Rub around your eyes and let sit for about 10-20 minutes.
