[D714]Dry Skin Around Eyes
by Corwin Brown, Cor

Dry skin has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. Dry skin, also called xerosis, is a common problem. Dry skin types have to be extremely careful to protect their skin. Yogurt-honey combination helps dry skin. Make an egg face pack with a yolk, a teaspoon of honey, a tablespoon of milk powder. This is beneficial to dry skin types. Avoid the use of tap water when cleansing dry skin. Use mineral water to freshen your face. Don't use a washcloth-a rough texture can irritate. Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. Avoid using any commercial soap.

The skin around the eyes has fewer oil glands than in other parts of the body, leaving it susceptible to dryness. The dry skin, if left untreated, will eventually lead to thinning, flaking, and wrinkles. This is often noticeable when the humidity drops, such as during winter, in an airline cabin, or in a building heated by furnaces or forced-air heaters. Other causes for dry skin around the eyes include excessive bathing, cosmetics and makeup, or an allergic reaction to certain chemicals.

The Transforme Scrub is made with Zeolite, which is a natural ingredient, so some particles may be darker than others. These particles capture and lift the environmental intruders from your skin. Use the scrub only two or three times a week for exfoliation. Apply the scrub to your hands and mix with water, gently rubbing in circular motions with your fingertips. Rinse well with cool water. Avoid the areas around your eyes. If your skin becomes irritated, use less of the product and use less pressure when rubbing.

Nothing shows your age like dry, wrinkled skin around your eyes. Lighten and brighten with a moisture rich product like Caudalie Eye Contour Cream. Gently pat around your eye contour area to reduce dry skin and puffiness.

As you age, your eyes might need an extra lift. Try targeting ageing skin around your eyes with a skin care product packed with anti-aging ingredients. Lightly dab Caudalie Eye Lifting Serum around your eye before applying your eye cream to restore your skin's youthful radiance.

Dry skin around the eyes needs extra care as this area is already sensitive. Gently apply eye cream with your fingertips - a small droplet of the cream is enough. Apply onto clean skin always before moisturizer.

Minerals and supplements can make a tremendous impact on eye health. Minerals help the body metabolize vitamins. They also help the body balance nutrition and hormones. Zinc and Selenium can help prevent many diseases including those that affect the eyes. Zinc can be found in red meat, oysters and wheat. Lutein is plentiful in spinach and collard greens. Bioflavonoids are found vitamin C rich foods. Carotenoids also convert substances from these foods into vitamin A that provides antioxidant protection. Omega-3 fatty acids such are found in seafood's are also excellent for eye health, and they are rich in antioxidants.

Vitamin E is one of the most vital healing agents for dry skin. It has been proven over the years to be able to keep moisture in the skin. It is found in many natural vegetable oils. It's easy to use, however, straight from a capsule. To apply vitamin E oil directly to irritated skin, just puncture a hole in a vitamin E capsule. This is a great way to get vitamin E directly to a sore spot, such as an insect bite or other extremely itchy spot.


Dry brushing is a premium detoxification method of the skin and lymphatic system. The skin is the largest cleansing organ in the body and takes care of a quarter of the body's detox requirements each day. Dry skin brushing stimulates the organs of detoxification through massage. It has a whole bunch of benefits. The superficial ones include: removing cellulite, tightening the skin to prevent premature aging, and removing dead skins layers! The deeper benefits of the dry brush technique are the improvements to lymphatic function. It strengthens the immune system, stimulates hormone producing glands, and stimulates circulation.

Why do I Care About the Lymph System?

Transports transport important molecules to be cleansed by the lymphatic organs (spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, liver, and tonsils.) These important molecules include: fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K, foreign particles and microorganisms. As a Microbiologist I know that if the lymph system is not flowing properly then the immune system does not get a chance to kill invading foreign particles and microorganisms. This includes cancerous cells.

The lymphatic system does not have a system to drain its fluid. A good comparison is the circulatory system. The heart pumps the blood around our body to pick up Oxygen at the lungs, deposit it at our tissues and organs, and goes back for more. As long as the heart keeps pumping the blood moves around. And when it doesn't we aren't alive! Pretty important function! The lymph system doesn't have a heart to pump its fluid around the body. It relies on external factors. A major external factor that moves lymph fluid is skeletal muscle contraction, or exercise! Vinyasa Yoga is an excellent modality to move lymph fluid since its movements contract alternating muscle groups allowing for optimal lymph circulation.

And of course a great compliment to daily exercise is a regular dry brush to keep the lymph system flowing!

What is a Dry Brush and where can I find one?

A dry brush is a brush made of dense stiff bristles. They can be found at any health store and grocery stores like Whole Foods Markets and Capers.

How to Dry Skin Brush?

The lymphatic fluid only flows in one direction which is towards the heart, so it is important to brush in the same direction. If we brushed away from the heart it puts extra pressure on the valves within the veins and lymphatic vessels and can results in ruptured vessels and varicose veins. We sure do not want any of that! So make sure to dry brush up the legs, arms and body towards the heart. The back is the exception to the rule. Brush from the neck down towards the low back. Try to use long sweeping strokes. This can be a little uncomfortable at first though. I started with short light strokes and have worked up to long harder ones.

Always dry brush before you bathe to wash away any impurities from the skin after a good dry skin brushing session.
