So Saturday, I was speaking to a friend about allergies.  Are you surprised?  I'm not because it seems no matter where I go, people want to talk to me about allergies.  Its all right, it goes with the territory I guess.

Anyway, Saturday, instead of talking about my recent cross country trip, the weather, the economy, or the best recipe for hummus, my friend was talking about dust mite allergy.  His daughter had been recently diagnosed and they were going through the process of cleaning out all the dust catchers and getting dust mite covers on the mattress, boxspring and pillows.

The conversation turned from the obvious benefits of protecting from dust mite allergen to those that are most important to the heart of a young lady.....puffy eyes.  Yes Virginia, dust mite covers can help you in your fight against puffy eyes. 

Dust mite covers also help with those pesky dark circles under the eyes.  In the allergy biz, those are called "allergic shiners" and are caused by increased blood flow to the sinus area.  When you cut off the exposure to the allergy causing protein (from the mite feces and body parts) the blood flow to the sinus area returns to  normal and the dark circles disappear.  Likewise for the puffy eyes.

Using a denaturing agent like and anti-allergen spray like ADMS Spray or washing bedding with De-Mite can also work to reduce those shiners and puffy eyes.

If you have problems with overly dry skin or eczema, it can also be caused by allergies.  It might not be extra lotion you need, but some Allergen Wash!

No, I don't think Avon or Estee Lauder has anything to fear from The Allergy Store. But you might find beauty really does come from the inside out; and when you have your allergies under control, shiners, puffy eyes and eczema can be a thing of the past.
