Your Eyes and Lips Reveal Your Age to the World – Soothe Away Tell-Tale Signs for a Fresher, More Beautiful You

… The days you struggled to get everything done.

… The nights you stayed up way too late – tending to a sick child or sharing a couple of drinks with a friend.

… The years of toil, pleasure and indulgence – sometimes at the expense of your body.

Dark circles under eyes, wrinkles and lines first appear around your eyes and lips. Why there? Not only are they the most delicate and sensitive areas of your face, your eyes and lips get a pretty constant workout.

They're also the areas most prone to the drying effects of weather and sun exposure. Free radical damage from smoking, stress, environmental pollution, excessive exercise and poor diet wreak havoc on your fragile skin tissue. With each increasing year, your skin undergoes changes in structure and function, making it more difficult to maintain a beautiful appearance.

These changes are subtle. You hardly notice… until the day you catch a glimpse of that first – or second – wrinkle in the mirror.

But here's the truth… There's much you can do to maintain a healthy appearance. You don't have to look older than your age. In fact, you can look even more beautiful if you're willing to give your skin, particularly those delicate areas around your eyes and lips, the attention it craves.

You've asked for an effective solution for reducing the appearance of fine lines. After many months of testing and formulating, I'm pleased to bring you a treatment made from pure, natural ingredients that delivers exceptional results. And equally important, it's USDA certified organic!

My organic formula firms and plumps delicate tissue around your eyes and lips, helping soften fine lines, while reducing sags, puffiness and dark circles.

Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment provides deeply penetrating moisturizers and powerful antioxidants to fight free radical damage.

After applying my Organic Moisturizing Daily Face Lotion or Overnight Face Cream, apply a pea-sized amount of Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment to fingertips and gently massage in a circular motion into areas requiring extra attention, such as around your eyes and mouth.

Containing carefully selected organic botanicals to provide antioxidant support to your skin cells, Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment provides the daily nourishment needed to help beautify and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin.

Luxuriously rich and non-greasy, Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment pampers those delicate areas of your face, while not irritating eyes. You'll feel and see the difference and discover improved elasticity, tone and firmness of your skin as the appearance of fine lines, bags and unsightly "crow's feet" soften and fade away.

Dr. Mercola’s Eye & Lines Treatment Cosmetic

Organic Renewing Eye & Lines Treatment

We've Chosen Only the Finest Natural Botanicals From Around the Globe

From the far corners of the world, we've gathered some of the finest, organic botanicals to provide exceptional nourishment and hydration for dry and damaged skin.

You won't find, finer ingredients than those we've selected for our Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment. Natural botanicals such as…

Organic Punica granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil

Revered by the Ancient Greeks, the people of China, India and the Middle East for nearly 8000 years, the ruby red pomegranate enjoys a colorful history.

The beautiful Greek goddess Helen of Troy, said to have a face that "launched 1,000 ships," attributed her beauty to the goodness of the pomegranate.

The cold-pressed oil from its seeds provides powerful antioxidants along with punicic acid, an abundant Omega-5 fatty acid, to fight free radicals that damage your skin.

Pomegranate seed oil helps support the renewal of skin by supporting fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

A study from the University of Michigan Medical School, published in the February 2006 Journal of Ethnopharmacology, shows that pomegranate seed oil supports collagen, the major component of a thick epidermis and dermis of the skin.

It may also help support the prevention of the breakdown of collagen fibers. This suggests that pomegranate oil may help support the ability of skin to renew itself.
Organic Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Butter

From the local cottage industries of the African Savannah, the Ghanaian women support their families while providing an extraordinary botanical for our Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment.

Produced only in Africa, Shea Butter comes from the nut of the Karite tree., Africans have been enjoying the many benefits of Shea butter for centuries

Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, Shea butter penetrates deeply to support collagen production and the skin's renewal process. Non-greasy, it renews elasticity, softens and moisturizes skin that has been dried, irritated, chapped or cracked by the elements.
Organic Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

Cold-pressed jojoba oil comes from the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis, a woody perennial bush native to the Southwestern U.S. Sonora Dessert. Seeds resembling large coffee beans yield a light, clear and odorless oil.

Actually a liquid plant wax, jojoba oil is similar in composition to the sebum produced by your sebaceous oil glands. When normal sebum production begins to decrease after your teens, rich, silky jojoba oil replicates its deep moisturizing qualities.

The wax esters in jojoba oil hold water in your skin, much like natural sebum, improving skin moisture and elasticity. Deeply penetrating inner skin layers, it helps support smooth and supple skin.

Nutrient-rich jojoba oil works to smooth the appearance of fine lines. Jojoba oil is especially useful for delicate tissues surrounding your eyes and lips, areas lacking natural oil glands.

Jojoba oil also helps support normal oil production Mixing with natural skin sebum, the skin slows its production of excessive sebum.
Organic Euterpe oleracea (Acai) Fruit Oil

Acai Fruit Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Acai berry. Deep blue berries are gathered by hand from the Amazon rainforest and quickly processed under cold and air-free conditions to yield a pure oil.

Jam-packed with vitamins and minerals, Acai oil's true value lies in its rich antioxidant content – natural vitamins E and C and anthocyanins. Deep Blue Rain Forest Acai Berries

In fact, the Acai berry boasts the highest per unit value of antioxidant power (ORAC) of any edible fruit in the world.

These high levels of antioxidants protect the collagen in your skin from harmful free radicals and oxidative damage.

An abundant supply of natural, stable vitamin C in a skin care product is rare. Vitamin C helps rejuvenate and revitalize the appearance of your skin.

Phytosterols in Acai oil protect the fragile epidermal layer of your skin. Essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid, Omega-6 and Omega-9 moisturize and nourish your skin.
Organic Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract

Latest research shows that Green Tea Leaf Extract packs a more powerful antioxidant punch than vitamins A, C and E. This high level of antioxidants help protect skin against the abuse of the elements.

Green tea also contains plentiful polyphenols, which include flavanols, flavandiols, flavonoids and phenolic acids.

One study, performed in 2003 by Dr. Stephen Hsu of the Medical College of Georgia Department of Oral Biology, found that the most abundant green tea polyphenol, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), was able to renew skin cells.

"When exposed to EGCG, the old cells found in the upper layers of the epidermis appear to start dividing," Dr. Hsu states.

When used regularly as part of Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment, green tea extract may help increase elasticity and soften the appearance of fine lines.
Organic Aloe barbadensis (Aloe Leaf) Juice Juice

Polysaccharide-rich Aloe Vera Leaves

When applied to your skin, aloe leaf juice can penetrate three epidermal layers, driving nutrients and moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Not only does it reach deeply, aloe penetrates almost four times faster than water!

Aloe is packed with polysaccharides – naturally occurring compounds that support active cell biology.

Recognized as one of the world's top experts on aloe, Dr. Ivan E. Danh of the North Texas Research laboratories discovered aloe leaf gel increases the production of collagen-producing dermal cells.

Damage from the sun can loosen the structure of surface skin epidermal cells, allowing water and moisture to escape. Dr. Danhof believes that the plentiful polysaccharides in aloe may reorganize and tighten the epidermal skin structure, giving delicate skin greater protection and a more beautiful appearance.
Organic Chamomilla recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract

Sacred chamomile flowers teem with soothing, healing properties

From the early days of the Egyptians and Greeks, the Matricaria or chamomile flower has been regarded as a sacred herb.

The active ingredients in chamomile, flavonoids and essential oils, account for its curative powers.

Flavonoids, powerful antioxidants, protect against free radical damage to cells and tissues.

The essential oils in chamomile flower extract soothe skin irritated and chapped by the elements.

Olive oil is a monounsaturated fatty acid containing oleic, linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids. These fatty acids are precursors to natural prostaglandins, which make your skin moist, smooth and firm.
Organic Olea europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil

From the ancient shores of the Mediterranean, olive oil has been used for thousands of years to nourish and revitalize skin.

Olive oil contains three natural skin-benefitting substances: squalene, squalane and hydroxytyrosol. Squalene and squalane protect your skin's own oils from oxidative damage. In fact, your body produces squalene as part of sebum.

Hydroxytyrosol is a polyphenol with the highest level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound. Found only in olive oil, this super fighter protects against skin damage from stress, exercise, pollutants and other lifestyle stressors.

An excellent emollient, olive oil smooths and softens skin. It is non-greasy and penetrates the skin without clogging pores. Olive oil helps restore elasticity and suppleness to delicate tissue, especially around your eyes.
Vitamin E

We’ve added vitamin E from sunflower oil to support your skin’s collagen production and to provide hydrating antioxidant protection.

Vitamin E, an essential fat-soluble nutrient, is a powerful antioxidant that can help nourish and protect your skin from damaging reactive oxygen species.

Levels of vitamin E in your skin decrease with age and exposure to UV light, so the addition of vitamin E to Renewing Eye and Lines Treatment provides extra protection and nourishment for your more sensitive areas.

How Does Aging Affect Your Skin?

Your skin is made up of three layers – the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The top layer – or the epidermis – is where all-important cell renewal takes place. In younger skin, cells divide and replace themselves every 15 to 30 days. With age, these cells divide more slowly – perhaps twice as long – making your skin less able to repair itself quickly. The total number of epidermal cells decreases by 10 percent each decade of life.

These top moisture-protective cells begin to lose some of their "stickiness," releasing moisture instead of preserving moisture in your skin. The result is thinner looking and drier skin. Nowhere is this more noticeable than with the fragile skin under your eyes.

The dermal, or second layer, also thins as you age and produces less collagen – the natural protein that keeps your skin looking smooth and firm. Essential for skin strength and elasticity, a loss in collagen causes your skin to lose its suppleness and begin to crease and sag.

Once active sebaceous glands now produce less skin-lubricating sebum and the number of sweat glands decrease. Both of these changes lead to skin dryness and the formation of fine lines.

Finally, the third and bottom layer of your skin – the hypodermis or subcutaneous layer – contains fatty tissue that cushions the layers above it. As fat cells shrink with age, these less "plumped" cells can no longer "fill in" damaged upper layers of skin. As a result, skin sags and creases.

It's Not Only Aging That Causes Wrinkles and Lines Around Your Eyes and Lips

Unprotected overexposure to ultraviolet light from the sun accounts for 90 percent of symptoms of premature skin aging.

Sun overexposure damages the moisture barrier in the epidermis. In the dermis layer, sunlight damages collagen fibers and leads to the accumulation of abnormal elastin which can cause fine lines, wrinkles and even dark circles.

If you're a regular reader of Mercola.com, you know how passionate I am about natural sunlight exposure. It's critical for ensuring adequate vitamin D production for good health. But at the same time, it's important to protect delicate tissues – especially areas around your eyes and lips – from excessive sun exposure.

Ultraviolet light from the sun comes in two main wavelengths: UVA and UVB. UVB is what you want for healthy vitamin D production. UVA, the deeper penetrating ray, is the culprit behind photoaging and wrinkles. And the latest research reveals the ideal time to catch those healthy UVB rays is right around noon, when they best penetrate the atmosphere.

When selecting a safe sunscreen to protect the delicate areas of your face, be sure to select one that protects against damaging UVA rays. Two of the more non-toxic ingredients that offer safe protection are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, minerals used worldwide for over 75 years.

In fact, I've chosen them to form the base of my Sunscreen. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are only safe when micronized. Be sure that they are not nano-sized.

There's another cause behind wrinkle formation other than sun exposure – and it's one you might not expect.

Strenuous Exercise Can Bring on Early Wrinkles

I learned about this one the hard way, back in the late 1960s when I started exercising vigorously. My skin suffered oxidative damage simply because I underestimated the immense destructive power free radicals can have on your body.

Here's a short primer on free radicals and how they affect your skin. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that have only one electron instead of two. In their search for a second electron, free radical molecules strip electrons from other molecules, thus creating more molecules that are unstable. This process continues to repeat itself, causing oxidative damage that affects cell function and alters genetic material.

Free radical damage causes wrinkles by activating the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) – enzymes that chop up the connective tissue forming collagen.

Excessive cardiovascular aerobic type activity, such as marathon running, has the ability to cause oxidative damage and premature wrinkles if antioxidant levels are not high enough in your body. Protect your skin from the damaging effects of vigorous exercise by taking a high quality antioxidant.

Smoking, Stress and Diet… Potent Causes of Wrinkles from Oxidative Damage

Three other conditions can also initiate this cascading process of damaging free radical formation:

Smoking and Cigarette Smoke
Stress
Diet

If you know someone who has smoked for a long time, you'll probably recognize the hallmark of smoking – "crow's feet" skin wrinkling. This is likely due to the oxidative damage caused from cigarette smoke. Smoking disrupts your body's natural process of breaking down old skin and renewing it.

Remember those MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) – those collagen-destroying enzymes activated by free radicals? Skin cells exposed to cigarette smoke produce far more MMPs than normal skin cells. Further, smoke causes a drop in the production of new collagen by up to 40 percent.

This combined effect of breaking down collagen more rapidly and producing less new collagen can cause premature skin aging in smokers (and those exposed to heavy cigarette smoke). In fact, smokers are three times more likely to develop deep wrinkles than are nonsmokers.

The free radicals generated by cigarette smoke also accelerate the aging process by damaging the microcapillaries in your skin. This disrupts your skin's ability to absorb nutrients, accelerating wrinkling and lines of aging.

Want to Look More Beautiful? Deal With Your Stress

It's no secret that stress wears you down, both inside and outside of your body. And it shows up on your face, especially in the form of lines and wrinkles. Scientific studies reveal that extended exposure to psychological stress can speed up the aging process of your cells and cause them to die at a faster rate.

Stress appears to decrease your skin's ability to function properly and repair tissue. Your skin's recovery seems to be directly linked to stress levels – stressful events and even stressful thoughts are associated with the decreased ability of your skin to function normally.

A study involving 200 pairs of identical twins discovered that life experiences, rather than genes, create your physical appearance as you age. People who had been through the stress of divorce looked nearly two years older than their married, single or even widowed twin. Those who used antidepressants also appeared significantly older.

Your body's ability to adapt to both internal and external stress is important not just for good health, but also for slowing your physical signs of aging. Effectively dealing with your stress and maintaining a positive outlook on life are two straightforward solutions to preventing premature aging from stress, and enjoying an invigorating appearance.

How to Boost Your Body's Ability to Handle Stress:

Consider using Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT). MTT releases negative emotions by targeting the disrupted energy meridian systems causing the stress. This simple do-it-yourself acupressure technique balances your energy and eliminates your body and mind's stress response.
Physical activity is a great way to relieve tension and neutralize the physical consequences of stress. Exercise releases endorphins in your brain, bringing your body pleasurable relaxation and rejuvenation. Just be sure not to overdo the exercise and do excessive aerobic/cardio.
Get enough sleep at night. Sleep allows your body and mind to repair and revitalize cells and to process stressful events. Routinely catching only a few hours of sleep can alter your metabolism and hormone production mimicking the effects of aging and pre-diabetes.

Eating the Right Foods Can Help Rejuvenate Your Skin

In an international study of eating patterns, investigators found that dark- and fair-skinned people who consumed diets of healthy whole foods were able to better control their wrinkles.

Even when age and smoking were factored in – conditions linked to skin aging – diet still played a role in helping to prevent wrinkling of sun-exposed skin.

The study authors speculate that certain foods offer superior skin protection due to their high levels of antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E.

The skin, they note, is a "major target of oxidative stress."

Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil may offer similar protection. Fatty acids are present in your skin, and monounsaturated fats resist oxidative damage.

Omega-3 fatty acids help normalize skin lipids and dehydration in your cells. Omega-3s help maintain the structure and moisture content of skin cells, which minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

Here are just a few of the healthiest foods for promoting a beautiful appearance:

Organic green leafy vegetables
Dried and fresh beans and legumes
Walnuts, almonds, pecans and seeds
Olive oil, coconut oil and Krill oil
Wild-caught, mercury-free salmon

Getting Rid of Dark Circles, Bags and Morning Puffiness

Dark circles and bags under your eyes can be caused by a number of conditions:

Heredity – dark under-eye circles sometimes run in families
Lifestyle factors – smoking, drinking alcohol and caffeinated sodas
Sinus congestion – dilates and darkens the veins draining your eyes
Sun overexposure – causes your body to produce more melanin skin pigment
Aging – thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen which emphasizes the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes
Certain allergies (usually food related) can result in the appearance of dark circles under your eyes

If occasional puffiness beneath your eyes is a result of too little sleep, poor diet or excessive alcohol, manual lymphatic drainage massage may help remove built-up toxins. Drinking plenty of pure, filtered water helps to replenish lost moisture and purge released toxins.

Here's how to do manual lymphatic drainage massage:

Start at the inner corners of each eye and work out towards your temples.
Using your ring fingers, press firmly but gently for the count of three at small steps along your eye sockets.
Continue until you reach the "dip" just to the outside of your eye socket. (This is where the toxins you have massaged from the under-eye area release into your bloodstream.)

A high-quality, topical, hydrating and skin-strengthening eye treatment product may help control puffiness and lessen the appearance of dark circles. You can help restore a fresher-looking, younger appearance, especially around your eyes and lips.

A Beautiful Appearance Requires Exceptional Skin Nourishment

There's much you can do to maintain a beautiful appearance. Looking great without the lines and bags demands a multi-faceted approach:

Eat fresh, antioxidant-rich and organic whole foods (locally grown when available).
Eliminate damaged omega-6 fats from your diet and make sure you use plenty of high quality omega-3 fats in your diet.
Protect your skin from the damaging effects of UVA rays.
Don't smoke and avoid cigarette smoke.
Treat delicate areas with pure high-antioxidant botanicals to restore lost moisture strengthen and rejuvenate tissues.

Beware of Cheap Generic Ingredients in Skin Care Products – Especially Those You Can't Pronounce!

I'm sure you wouldn't want to use anything on your face that would be harmful or potentially toxic, right? After all, what goes on your skin ends up in your bloodstream and throughout your body.

Selecting a healthy skin care product can be a chore. Distinguishing healthy ingredients from potentially harmful ones – especially if they're labeled "organic" – is particularly challenging. When it comes to face care products, "organic" is likely the No. 1 most abused word.

Your only reassurance of a healthy product is selecting one made of natural, pure ingredients that you recognize and trust. And selecting one certified as 100 percent organic to meet the USDA organic standards assures you of the way the plant is grown and processed.

You know it's the real deal. Unless you see the bold green "USDA Organic" seal, "organic" doesn't mean anything!
