Dermalogica Eye Products Offer Results With Non-Harmful Additives
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.
For a time, herbal skin care ingredients had been replaced by factory-created ingredient 'breakthroughs.'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.
As consumers, we wanted results and we wanted them now. But along with the results-driven manufactured treatments came preservatives, irritants, even cancer-causing elements added to these products.
Even commercial herbal skin care products had to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life, hence making them less effective than the fresh ones made at home.
However, it seems that things are changing fast and consumers are now opting for more natural, organic and herbal skin care products.
The commercial market of herbal skin care products is on the rise but the research and development of natural-based products has been ongoing for many years. Dermalogica Products were created with the sole mission of developing a results-driven line of skin care products that contained no irritants and no harmful additives.
The proven ingredients that are included in today's natural, premium eye skin care products are plentiful, including:
- salicylic acid
- benzoyl peroxide
hyaluronic acid
- hyaluronic acid
- Vitamin C
Many herbs have cleansing properties. Rosemary, chamomille and dandelion are examples. Their beneficial properties are expanded when they are combined with other herbs like green 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.
Lavender, marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water are highly effective toners.
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)
Many choose herbal skin care products to avoid irritants and harmful side effects. And when it comes 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 fit the bill. The ingredients used in Dermalogica Products are gentle, non-irritating, non-harmful, yet truly effective.
Can't ask for much more.
