Overview
For centuries people have flocked to the Dead Sea in hopes that the mud and minerals contained in them will somehow renew their skin or other ailments brought on by our inherited imperfection. Due to this phenomenon, many products have begun to pop up on store shelves claiming to contain the healing powers of the Dead Sea. However there is no way to determine if these products actually contain real Dead Sea minerals and there is no evidence that suggests that Dead Sea mud will help to eliminate wrinkles. The muds of the Dead Sea are said to contain well over 25 minerals as well trace amounts of zinc and copper. Anti-wrinkle eye creams claiming to be “all natural” has become one of the most sought after skin care products on the market today due to the fact that they claim to contain the natural benefits from the earth which many chemically produced products do not have. One product that is especially formulated for this purpose is Dead Sea Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream. We’ll take a closer look at why the makers of this cream say it may help.
Product Details
Generally, the first place we notice the signs of aging is around our eyes. Genetics as well as squinting in poor light conditions and going out into the sun without sufficient eye protection are key factors in the formation of wrinkles around the eyes. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen which decreases the skin’s natural “plumped up” look. Additionally, our skin looses elasticity which makes it difficult to regain its form after smiling, frowning or other facial expressions. This damage manifests itself in the form of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles or what is commonly known as crow’s feet. Eye creams can be expensive however, the eyes are a precious part of our bodies, so spending a little more for a product designed to address the specific skin around the eyes is justified. A little goes a long way so a pea sized amount is usually sufficient for each eye. Dead Sea Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream supposedly contains high concentrations of Magnesium which is said to enhance and replenish the skins appearance. Additional ingredients include Geranium, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Evening Primrose, Chamomile, Sweet Almond Oil, Aloe Vera and Vitamins A and C which work as antioxidants to protect the skin from additional environmental damage.
The Good
- Dead Sea Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream contains vitamins and minerals which may offer some benefits to the skin.
The Bad
- There is no way to determine if the products contain real Dead Sea minerals.
- There is no scientific evidence that proves that Dead Sea minerals will eliminate wrinkles.
The Bottom Line
Experts agree that a high quality eye cream should be added to any skin care regimen. Most eye creams address our main concerns all in one formula which are dark circles, puffiness and fine lines and wrinkles. We can kick ourselves for not listening to the advice of our Dermatologists by avoiding over exposure to the sun and protecting our skin with the use of sunscreens. Fortunately today, there are products available which can help to reverse some of the visible signs of aging especially around the eye area.
