The skin on the eyelids is very thin and delicate, which is why, especially at this time of year, due to the cold and the dryness of the environment also caused by the use of heating, it can be affected by intense flaking, dryness, itching, and redness. Emolienta Palpebral, from Laboratorios Viñas, is a cream with moisturizing, soothing, and repairing active ingredients, especially indicated for the sensitive skin of the eyelids. Its application restores optimal hydration to the affected area, reduces the sensation of itching, promotes the repair of altered skin, and eliminates excess flaking.
What can cause dry eyelids?
Environmental factors such as cold, wind, and lack of humidity can contribute to dry eyelids. Dry, flaky eyelids are a more common condition than it might seem, and although it is usually due to benign causes, if the flaking persists over time, it is advisable to consult a professional, in case it is chronic blepharitis which, if not treated properly, can lead to dry eye or recurrent infections.
The skin of the eyelid is one of the thinnest and most delicate in the body, making it especially vulnerable to external factors such as climate, makeup, allergies, or prolonged screen use. Many people experience itching and flaking on their eyelids at some point in their lives. This is an alteration of the eyelid's skin surface, which loses hydration, becomes irritated, and begins to flake. Other common causes of flaking on the eyelids can be:
- Contact or seborrheic dermatitis from using irritating cosmetics. It appears due to an imbalance in the skin's flora.
- Allergies. The skin on the eyelids reacts easily to allergens present in the air or in hygiene and makeup products.
- Dry eye. The lack of quality tears, typical of dry eye syndrome, can contribute to poor lubrication of the eyelid margin. This generates inflammation, which often manifests as scaly eyelids.
- Excessive use of cosmetics or screens. Sleeping with makeup on, applying harsh products, or spending many hours in front of screens without blinking enough can promote dryness in the eyelids. This alters the skin barrier and can cause flaking.
