Dry itchy skin around eyes and on eyelids

Is driving me mad

I've tried no makeup and throwing away old makeup but it keeps coming back

I think it started as an allergy to an eye makeup remover which I have now rectified but it's still happening

Have you tried Vaseline? It's great for dry skin - just a v small smear

Try boots no 7 serum, I use protect and perfect. I suffer from this sporadically and it’s the only thing that helps. I usually get it when I’m stressed.

do you have dry eyes? that can cause watery eyes and itching.
try tear replacement drops for a few days.

Could it be blapheritis? It sounds like it. You could try popping in to your local optician who should be able to confirm it. Thee are specialist products available for it to buy from the optician such as blepaclean. Treat it with these then after a while try using a merest drop of the most simple formula icecream you can find once a day ie bo perfume, no magic anti age powers etc, just plain cream. If it doesnt work you'll need to show a doctor if its persistent.

I get that sometimes I think it's excema (I've never had it anywhere else). Hydrocortisone cream shifts it almost immediately, but you have to get from docs as pharmacy won't give it to use on eyes.
