Common Eye Disease: Dry Eye

Dry eye is a common and chronic condition that most people face at some point in their life. In fact, it affects up to a third of the world's population! The good news is that there are many remedies available to alleviate this common condition, including wearing an eye mask for dry eye.

What is dry eye?

When a person has dry eyes, they are not producing enough high quality tears to moisturize the eye. Although it can hit anyone, it gets stronger as you get older. Common causes of dry eyes can be:

  • Harsh weather conditions
  • Allergies
  • Some medication
  • An underlying disease
  • Computer, cell phone or television screens
  • Lack of quality of sleep
  • Wear contact lenses for too long

Common dry eye symptoms

Most people with dry eyes may experience symptoms such as stinging, scratching, or burning. It can also feel like there's always something in their eyes. Some of the other symptoms that people can experience include:

Redness

Red eyes are a common dry eye symptom because there aren't enough natural tears to keep your eye moist. When they get dry, they also get red and irritated due to the lack of moisture.

Blurred vision

Dry eyes can lead to blurred vision because the tear film either evaporates too quickly or becomes too slimy. When both happens, your tears may not be able to disperse smoothly and will not stay on the cornea long enough for you to have a clear view. Frequent blinking can temporarily help by redistributing the tear film over the cornea.

Photosensitivity

Dry eyes are a major cause of photophobia, or sensitivity to light. Medical researchers have not fully understood why dry eyes tend to be sensitive to light. However, some believe it could be due to inflammation of the trigeminal nerve through the cornea. Since dry eyes also trigger other symptoms, such as migraines, this could also contribute to sensitivity to light.

Watery eyes

You may be wondering why do you keep watering when your eyes are dry? This is because, due to the irritation that comes from dry eyes, your body's natural response is to produce more tears in order to get rid of them. After a while, your natural eye drainage can become too much, causing tears to overflow. The additional tear production is called a reflex tear.

How can an eye mask soothe dry eyes?

Eye masks are a good solution for managing dry eye symptoms, and different types can provide different reliefs. For example, heated eye masks are known to increase eye moisture, which could treat some of the underlying causes of dry eyes.

Those with this uncomfortable condition could benefit from using an eye mask as it improves hydration, increases oil production, or reduces inflammation. Warmed eye masks increase oil production and thus reduce tear evaporation. Other masks can trap moisture inside, which improves eye moisture.

Are you looking for an eye mask for dry eye?

Nobody wants to deal with the unpleasant side effects of dry eyes! Fortunately, there are some helpful remedies that can help relieve these symptoms, including eye masks. Well worth trying if your dry eyes are an issue for you.

Best Organic Eye Cream: For Wrinkles, Eye Bags & Puffiness

Dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness – all the words that you don't want to associate with the delicate area around your eyes. When it comes to eye problems, you don't have to put up with living with these little problems around your eyes. We have some skin care tips and tricks to help you keep your eye area bright and youthful, as well as a roundup of some of the best organic eye creams out there. These organic products are formulated to make your eyes look their best!

What causes under-eye bags, eye wrinkles, and puffy eyes?

Several factors contribute to the development of under-eye pouches, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes. Although you may hear the phrases under eye bags, dark circles, and puffy eyes used interchangeably, each is different from the other. Here's a closer look at the main culprits.

Undereye bags

Eminence Organics International educator Brian Goodwin tells us, "Under-eye pouches are a loss of tightness and tone in the tissues under the eyes caused by multiple causes that produce a perceived tired or tired expression." Typical signs and symptoms of under-eye pouches are slight swelling, sagging, and sagging or loose skin. As you age, the tissues and muscles that support your eyelids weaken naturally. The skin loses collagen and elastin and when this occurs the skin around your eye area begins to sag and sag. Loss of skin tone allows the oil, which is usually confined to the space around your eyes, to shift and slide into the lower eyelids. This leads to droopy eyelids, where the skin sags towards the eyes, making you look less alert and tired.

Eye wrinkles

They say the eyes express all the joy that you have experienced in life. And sometimes that joy manifests itself in fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area as you get older. Unlike the muscles in the rest of the body (which are connected to our bones), the muscles of the face are attached to our skin tissues. When we smile or frown, the muscles under the skin contract and expand, causing temporary wrinkles and lines of expression. These wrinkles can appear as crow's feet around the eye area.

Swelling

Puffy eyes are the result of temporary swelling, typically caused by fluid retention. When fluid builds up and collects around your eyes and the surrounding tissues, it can cause unsightly puffiness and puffiness. Sometimes a puffy eye area is all about the natural aging process. As you age, the tissue around your delicate eye area becomes weaker. The skin becomes less elastic and can become saggy, leading to more prominent bags under the eyes and a sagging appearance. Over time, the tissues and muscles that surround the eyes also weaken, causing puffiness and puffiness.

Twin villains salt and alcohol are major causes of puffy and puffy eyes. You may love your salt rim margarita cocktails, but they destroy the condition of your skin. Excessive sodium and alcohol levels can cause your body to become dehydrated. When this happens, your skin and other organs crawl to hold on to as much water as possible. The result: swelling and gas, especially under the eyes.

Seasonal allergies and lack of sleep are also major causes of puffy eyes. The skin around your eye area is not only delicate but also delicate. When it comes into contact with allergens like pollen, dander or house dust mites, your body goes into attack mode. The other cause of puffy eyes? Insufficient eyes. When you save while you sleep, the blood vessels under your eyes dilate, causing puffiness and puffiness. When you lose sleep due to stress there are two problems.

If you are dealing with any of these pesky eye problems, don't worry. You can minimize the appearance with smart solutions.

How to reduce puffiness

Eminence Organics Lead Skin Care Trainer Natalie Pergar has an additional trick up its sleeve: spoon (yes, spoon). Follow these steps to relax your eye area:

  • Put a couple of spoons in your refrigerator overnight
  • In the morning, squeeze the cool spoons around your eye area for 30 seconds
  • Work from the outside in to encourage lymphatic drainage

Bonus tips for a more youthful eye area

Cut down on salty foods

Salty foods can be the main cause of your under-eye pouches. If your bags under the eyes are particularly puffy, it may be time to avoid prepackaged, processed foods high in sodium and load up whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables.

Facial massage

Facial massage is a simple and effective way to improve blood circulation and activate a sluggish lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that targets the lymph nodes to encourage the movement of fluids throughout the body. This, in turn, will help reduce puffiness and de-puffed areas where lymph has accumulated, such as under your eyes. Follow these steps to get a spa-level facial massage at home.

Stay elevated while you sleep

Another out-of-the-box trick for reducing under eye pouches is to keep your head raised while you sleep. Gravity can cause excess fluid to pool under your eyes and make them hang and hang. Try sleeping on your back and prop your head with an extra pillow to keep it high. You can even buy a special wedge pillow for extra comfort.
