Since the use of the sanitary mask became mandatory, the gaze became our new smile.Hence, cosmetic products and specific aesthetic and medical treatments for the area were a boom last year.However, having changed our routine, care and makeup in the eyes has also caused problems in some people ... The skin around the eyes is super, through a reaction caused by the heat of the office air conditioning ducts can cause an outbreak of dermatitis in the eyelids.The solution involves maintaining this area as clean and hydrated as possible and changing a couple of gestures of your daily life so that your look is the focus of attention, but not because of its extreme dryness, but by the 'Eyeliner' so cool that you havedetermined to carry.

How to treat eyelid dermatitis

As we have advanced before, cleaning and hydration, once again, are fundamental.Of course, the first one must do it “with specific cleaners for sensitive skin, avoid water as much as possible - pour of the infinite showers of very hot water - and dry with a tisu,” recommends García Millán.Then comes the time to apply the eye contour, “which must be unctuous, without topical irritants such as retinol and you must apply it both tomorrow and night and first step of your beauty routine after cleaning,” says Martínez.

As for makeup, you have to avoid using it excessively (better if you choose tested products under dermatological and ophthalmological control), as well as the use of substances that can be irritating.A pair of ‘tips’ is that you replace eye shadow with an ‘eyeliner’ that covers less area and that you opt for mineral makeup, since they are usually hypoallergenic and do not contain fragrance.

And a homemade trick that you can carry out is “applying compresses or cotton gauze soaked in chamomile, since it has an anti -inflammatory effect”, as advised by the doctor of the Pilar de Frutos clinic, who also recommends that “you applyAbout your sterile non -scented vaseline eyeline before the use of ophthalmia drops to achieve a barrier effect and protect them from this type of products ”.

But what you can not forget if you feel your eyelids are still very dry, irritated and reddened after a few days after having eliminated the possible allergens and having relieved the affected area, it is to visit a dermatologist to make you a precise diagnosis.He will tell you what concrete products you should use, "as corticosteroids indicated for the eyelid or immunomodulators, which are the specific for this delicate area," concludes the bioderma collaborating dermatologist.
