Best beauty products for dehydrated eyes

Are you eyes dry, puffy or wrinkled? Here's our pick of the top beauty products to help keep your eyes fresh and pretty all year round. 

Dry eyes
Even eyes aren't immune to winter's drying effects. The outer layer of the eye produces oils to curb moisture evaporation from the middle layer. Strong winds and low humidity levels brought on by artificial heating hinder the production of these oils.

To provide temporary relief, consult a physician about using preservative-free artificial tears. Pay heed to the recommended dosage – artificial tears are intended to stimulate the production of natural tears, not replace them entirely!

Dark circles and puffiness

Take care when tending to the thin skin around your eyes. Tiredness and dehydration prompts blood cells to migrate to the surface, creating the appearance of dark circles.

This delicate area also has fewer oil glands, necessitating a need for eye creams to encourage oil production. Opt for formulas that contain vitamins A, C and K. Vitamin A controls the production of melanin, reducing the appearance of dark circles, while vitamins C and K act as antioxidants, fighting puffiness and dehydration.

How to avoid dry skin

  Are you prone to dry skin ? If you think your diet has nothing to do with it, your face may beg to differ. The Suspects: Alcohol , Coffee , Poor Diet In the short term, alcohol can cause dehydration , which can cause dry skin. “For women, the recommendation is no more than two standard drinks a day on average,” says dermatologist Ann-Maree Kurzydlo, who recommends limiting consumption and alternating alcoholic drinks with water. “One or two alcohol-free days should be had per week.” Caffeine is a diuretic and can also lead to dehydration of the skin - so steer clear of energy drinks as well as tea and coffee.
