Picture Frames Make the Picture


Isn’t it weird how that works out? The frame of a picture can completely change how you look at it. And a picture without a frame can seem like it’s missing that extra piece of the story it wants to tell. 

Our eyes are the same. 

The area around our eye is just as much an invitation to gaze in as the beautiful colors of our irises. 

Often, we begin to show our age around our eyes first. Hopefully this is due to a lifetime of outdoor adventures and smiles and laughter. We want to take care of the area around our eyes, because everything is best in moderation, even smile lines.


Five Common Under Eye Concerns

1. Dark Circles - You may associate this concern with the wild days of your youth or putting in heroic hours at the office, but the effect generates from the same place as when we age. The skin barrier around the eye becomes thinner, showing more blood vessels. This happens when we are tired and it happens as we age. 


2. Bags and Puffy Eyes - Again, we find that the weakening of the skin leads to this next concern. As we age and our skin weakens and begins to sag. Over a prolonged period, the fat that resides high around our eye begins to settle, leading to a puffed up appearance.


3. Wrinkles - Wrinkles come from more than just laughing and frowning. Exposure to our old enemy, Reactive Oxygen Species cause them as well. These ROS* can be from UV radiation we experience from the sun, or from harmful pollutants in the environment like smoke. 


4. Thinning Skin - Thin, crepe-y skin can be a drag on your self-esteem already, and then it seems to be an underlying cause of the above problems to boot! Meanwhile we have to remember that our skin is a barrier. It’s designed to hold in moisture and keep out infection. The thinner our skin becomes, the less it’s able to do that job.


5.Itchy Eyelids - There are a whole host of diagnosable problems that could result in itchy eyelids. As usual, at Skin Actives we encourage you to listen to your doctor and trust their advice. If you are only just encountering itchy eyelids though, before you head to the dermatologist, try moisturizing. Skin can dry out anywhere on your body, and it’s best to try and resolve the simplest solutions first!
