‘Should’ is a strong word, but you definitely can!
Men or women, we all have to take care of our skin – especially the delicate area around our eyes.
But when it comes to moisturizing that thin layer of skin, do you lube up your eye roofs or not? What the heck, am I as well supposed to moisturize my eyelids? And if –
How to moisturize my eyelids?
It can be a confusing and tricky question.
Well, if you don’t feel like greasing your eyelids and are worried about whether you should or not, Dr. Vesna Alar, Dermatosurgeon at Charité Berlin, has the answer for you: “If you don’t have dry skin, you don’t need to moisturize your eyelids.”
That’s right – no more generalized lubing up those eye roofs.
If you don’t have dry skin, then you can simply moisturize the area around your eyes along with the rest of your face, and let your eyelids stay nice and dry without any additional care.
But if you do suffer from dry skin, particularly in the eye area, then it is important to take extra care of your eyelids.
Your eyelids are delicate and sensitive, so they need special care. Moisturizing them will help keep them looking smooth and healthy.
Imagine your eyelids as a piece of silk – they’re delicate and must be treated with care. Without regular moisturizing, they can become dry, chapped, and irritated.
So how do you best go about moisturizing your eyelids?
We’ll get to that in a minute, but first, let’s explore why it’s so important.
Your skin is made up of two layers: the epidermis, the outer layer, and the dermis, the inner layer.
Your eyelids contain both layers, but they’re much thinner than in other parts of your body – making them even more sensitive.
The delicate nature of your eyelids can make them prone to dryness and cracking.
And you’ll end up with redness, flaking, and sensitivity if you don’t take steps to prevent it.
Fortunately, it’s easier to moisturize your eyelids than you may think.
The first step is to choose the best product for your skin type.
If you have dry skin, a heavier cream or ointment is ideal; if you have oily skin, something lighter, like an eye gel, would be best. Good example for a natural eyelid moisturizer is this ultimate face cream for men. It is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
Your dermatologist can help you decide which type is right for your skin.
Whatever product you choose, make sure it’s free of any artificial fragrances or irritating ingredients like alcohol and mineral oil. You most likely won’t have to search for a particular upper eyelid moisturizer either.
Be careful – some eye creams are aimed more at preventing wrinkles than simply moisturizing, and so may contain ingredients that are fine for normal skin but that your eyelids can’t tolerate. Even the simplest moisturizers may contain something that irritates your eyes. If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to do a little trial and error.
If a product stings when applied to the eye area, this is a sign that it’s not meant for use on your eyelids.
How to moisturize eyelids
Once you’ve chosen the right product, you can begin moisturizing your eyelids. Start by gently patting a small amount of product onto the skin around your eyes. Then, move inwards towards the eyelid and apply in a circular motion until all of it has been absorbed.
If you want to give your eyelids an extra boost of hydration, you can even sleep with a moisturizer on them. Just make sure to use something specifically designed for the eye area.
So there you have it – the answer to all your burning questions about moisturizing your eyelids.
With just a few simple steps, you can keep them looking and feeling healthy for years to come.
Just remember!
When it comes to moisturizing your eyelids, trust no one but yourself. Even if you are looking for a eyelid moisturizer for sensitive skin, a close look at the ingredients list will help you make your decision.
Your eyelids are delicate, so they need special attention – and with a bit of love and care, they’ll stay healthy and beautiful for years to come. That’s a promise.
Now that you know all about how to moisturize eyelids, there’s only one question left to answer: why haven’t you started yet?
So don’t be afraid to give them the love they deserve!
Now go ahead and moisturize my eyelids, nonsense, yours, I mean! They’ll thank you for it.
Happy moisturizing!
