Any help with dry skin round the eyes?

My mum is post-menapausal and has always had problems with dry skin/mild eczema. She takes vitamin E, C, Zinc and Evening Primrose Oil capsules daily to counteract very dry itchy skin under the lower eyelids and sometimes above the upper lids. This gives her "panda eyes" but bright red angry colour - very unattractive. She used to use make up wipes and has tried to only use non-alcohol types. Now she cannot even use those and has to use E45 eye make up cleansing cream. She doesn't wear loads of make up but its a real chore and the dry itchy skin is still there. She has also tried E45 cream, HC45 amd Eucerin eye cream. Help!

My advice would be not to use any makeup for a week whilst using,Nivia dry skin cream,put a dolop in the palm of your hand rub it in your palm,then rub it ALL around the eye area WITH EYES CLOSED !

do it for a week and see if it drys up.

even though she only uses a little make up,it will still irritate the skin as it is irritating the nerves so will not clear up.so stay make up free for at least a week.

The itchy skin is caused by the nerves try to re-establish skin groth.E45 cream is a waste of time
Reply:Do some research on sea buckthorn oil. It might help her condition.



This site is good as it sells 100% concentrate, whereas most others mix it with other oil and like 5% sea buckthorn at most !



It's used for all sorts of skin damaging conditions, astronauts use it to prevent radiation burns in outer space. Potent stuff!
Reply:Need to see GP/consultant to find root cause of problem,then proper treatment-if they dont help,try a good naturopath/alternative doctor.
Reply:Cucumber slices on the eyes works wonders to moisturize, and helps with the bags also.
Reply:i had dry skin under my eyes and i used bio oil, it works and i trust it so much not to have an adverse affect i use it my 11 week old baby's skin.

it's about ￡8 a bottle from the chemist but you can get it from home bargins for ￡5.00
Reply:Vaseline is still one of the best moisturizers out there on the market. It is very gentle to skin too. Of course be sure like anything else to keep it out of the eye.

Lip Tip: If you have dry or cracked lips take some vaseline on a toothbrush(keep separate from mouth toothbrush)and brush the vaseline on your lips. They will be as smooth as a baby's bottom!!
