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.
At one time, herbal skin care and plant extracts had been replaced by synthetic/chemical-based skin care ingredients. The herbal and natural skin care treatments which once used to be commonplace lost popularity in favor of highly commercialized and scientifically-created 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 natural skin care products had to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life, hence making them less effective 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 green movement has brought many to search for more organic and natural ways to solve their eye skin problems, including eye wrinkles and under eye bags.
New herbal eye skin care products are introduced at a frantic pace, but some brands have been researching and developing natural skin care products for years. Dermalogica was created in 1986 with the mission of making products that contained no irritating or harmful ingredients.
There are many, many herbal and natural ingredients that are being used in today's natural skin care products. Here are a few:

hyaluronic acid

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.
