Eye cream

[QueenKong]

Can anyone recommend a decent eye cream that doesn't cost the earth? Have recently developed dry flaky patches on my eyelids and underneath, normal day moisturiser doesn't seem to be touching it.

Also, any idea what could cause said dryness? I had a baby 8 months ago and am still bfing and fairly sleep deprived, if that is at all relevant.

dry flakiness is quite unusual on the eyelid...I would go to the docs as it may be eczema (or similar). if you go the cream route be careful not to apply too much or a normal face cream. Aloe vera gel could be quite good for you as it is cooling, hydrating and not too heavy (which causes puffiness and millia).

and the less sleep you have the drier your eyes are likely to be...
