WHAT CAN I DO REGARDING PUFFY AND WRINKLED SKIN AROUND THE EYES?

Many people experience challenges around their eyes. It concerns most every man and woman today. What one person has, may not be the same for another person. Problems around the eyes can occur from a variety of causes like allergies, hereditary reasons, visible blood vessels. Others face problems related to age, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage that crop up around the eye area.

Puffy Eyes: Puffiness of the eye area can occur for several reasons. Some can be fixed by topical skin care treatments, and others by surgery. One problem that cannot be improved topically is fatty deposits or "bags under the eyes". These deposits are generally caused by genetic factors and can usually only be improved surgically. The cause of puffiness around the eyes can often be from toxins. Toxins include everything from preservatives in food to alcoholic beverages. These can be improved by topical treatments like anti-oxidants, vitamins, and certain formulations of glycolic acids.

Dark Circles: Dark circles that are related to heredity, allergies, or minor blood vessel damage may be treated by vitamin K products. When allergies are the problem, a person must see a doctor to treat the allergy and in turn treat the eye circles.

Fine Lines And Wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles can be treated topically with a variety of treatments, such as topical peels. These come in different forms with the most popular and most effective are the acid peels. These peel treatments remove several layers of the epidermis. Vitamin C is also excellent for people to use. Vitamin C is great for cellular renewal, reducing pigmentation problems, and reducing the inflammation caused by many different skin contaminants all of which aid in reducing the signs of aging. Vitamin A helps to improve the elasticity of the skin through increased collagen and elastin cell growth. Glycolic acids increase collagen and elastin production and improve pigmentation.

Vitamin K is used to treat dark circles under the eyes and is known to correct bruising and blood vessel damage but not dark circles from allergies or heredity.
