Dermalogica Brings Herbal Skin Care And Results Together

by Celia Santori

Eye skin care itself isn't a new topic; it has been in practice since ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of the skin. However, eye skin care has transformed in a big way.

For a time, herbal skin care ingredients had been replaced by factory-created ingredient 'breakthroughs.'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.

We all want results and we all want them right now. That's what the eye skin care professionals heard, so some responded with products that technically worked quickly, but contained irritating and harmful ingredients.

Even commercial natural eye skin care products had to be mixed with preservatives in order to maintain their shelf-life, which potentially made them more harmful than the homemade versions.

However, it seems that things are changing fast and consumers are now opting for more natural, organic and herbal skin care products.

The proliferation of hundreds of new herbal skin care product lines has made organic and natural problem solvers more popular. But the research has been going on for years. Dermalogica Products were developed in 1986 with the goal of creating skin care products that worked without the addition of irritating and harmful ingredients.

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.

Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care. Lavender, marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also serve as effective toners.

Tea plays an important part in herbal skin care. Tea extracts are used for treatment of skin that has been damaged by UV radiation. 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)

Most herbal skin care products do not have side effects (the most important reason for preferring them over synthetic products). And when it comes to the sensitive area around 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 is one such brand. The ingredients used in Dermalogica Products are gentle, non-irritating, non-harmful, yet incredibly effective.

You can't ask for much more.
