Eyelid contact dermatitis is a kind of skin inflammation affecting the eyelids. It is caused by exposure to allergens, irritants or toxins. The symptoms include redness and itching. Painful rashes or raised bumps resembling pimples may appear. There are several things you can do to treat the condition and avoid problems like it in the future.
A Treatment Plan
Unless other portions of the face are affected, you can assume that the causative allergens, irritants or toxins are present in something you use on your eyelids. Cosmetics (eye makeup) are the likely culprits.
No woman wants to give up wearing makeup. You can try using hypoallergenic makeup, but they are not necessarily free of allergens. The term hypoallergenic has no legal definition. The same is true of the terms "dermatologist tested" and "doctor approved".
You will need to look for makeup that is free of artificial preservatives and added fragrances. Natural mineral based pigments and powders are the least likely to cause irritation. You should avoid talc, but powdery makeup is less likely to cause problems than liquids.
It is a good idea to make sure that your other skincare products are free of common allergens, irritants and toxins. If you have eyelid contact dermatitis, other areas of your skin may be affected in the future.
To treat and relieve the symptoms, you need a nourishing eye serum. One that contains natural anti-inflammatories and antibacterial agents.
To summarize the plan:
Avoid cosmetics and skincare products containing allergens, irritants of toxins
Use the recommended eye serum referred to in the resource box below.
It's that simple.
What are the Benefits of the Eye Serum?
The eye serum relieves the symptoms of eyelid contact dermatitis, reduces the risk of future outbreaks and provides other benefits. You will see or feel these things.
Reduced redness
Reduced itching
Less swelling
All because of the anti-inflammatory activity of an ingredient called Functional Keratin. Because the serum also includes HALOXYL and EYELISS, you will also see these benefits.
Less puffiness
Reduction in dark circles
No more bags under the eyes with continued use
The "continued use" part is important. The relief of eyelid contact dermatitis will be nearly immediate. The serum is cool and soothing going on. It does not cause any burning or irritation.
The other benefits are not immediate. For example, studies indicate that it takes about two months of daily use to get rid of bags and dark circles.
Additional Recommendations
Allergies are caused by an over-reaction of the immune system. It sends out signals that cause inflammation, when there is no need for it.
Doctors have yet to completely understand what causes allergies. However some benefits have been seen with the use of nutritional supplements that support normal immune system function and balance the inflammatory response. I recommend Omega-3 DHA fish oil supplements.
With improved nutrient intake and the use of better skincare products, you might not have problems with eyelid contact dermatitis in the future.
