Dry Skin On Eyelids

One of the main places Eczema affects people is by causing Dry Skin on their Eyelids. The Eyelid is a very hard place to apply medication or treat, because it so close to the vulnerable eye, and most medication are dangerous if they come into contact with the eyes. Throughout my 20 yr struggle with eczema I have found some solutions that have helped with this problem area.

Dry Skin on Eyelids - Symptoms of Eyelid Eczema

Signs that the dry skin on eyelids is eczema

- Dry Skin on Eyelids
- Slightly Swollen Eyelids
- Red Eyelids
- Itchy or Burning Eyelids
- Scaly Eyelids

These are some signs that the dry skin on your eyelids may be eczema. Your eyelids may also burn, when you apply any kind of perfumed lotion to them. Because this skin is so sensitive, it can be a painful and frustrating problem to treat.

What causes Dry Skin on Eyelids?

Why this area is particularly susceptible

You blink your eyelids thousands of times a day, and this constant sliding of skin can dry them out. They are also subjected to rubbing if your eyes are itchy, which can severely irritate this sensitive skin.

Women who wear make-up do not realize that the make-up they apply to their eyelids everyday is drying them out. Poor quality make-up is especially bad the skin. A barrier cream can be purchased that will provide a primer surface for applying make-up on the eyelids.

Eyelids are often the feature that are farthest protruding from the face, other than the nose, and can therefore experience drying out from wind and sun weather.

Dry Skin on Eyelid Treatment

Different forms of Treatment

Here are some kinds of treatment that are specifically targeted to dry skin on eyelids because of the sensitivity of facial skin. Methods used for other types of eczema are either unsafe, or ineffective here.

- Avoiding known irritants such as perfumed lotions
- Avoid washing your face with an abrasive surface, splash lukewarm water instead
- Seal in moisture after a bath or shower
- Use a barrier such as such as urban decay primer before applying make-up
- Use a greasy make-up remover instead of a soapy one
