Care For Itchy Eyelids Naturally

Itchy eyelids or eyelid dermatitis is a very common problem and the most common skin disease of the eyelids and refers to a contact dermatitis, allergic or irritant, affecting the eyelids.   Sometimes this condition is associated with dry face syndrome.

You see, the eyelids are very prone to contact dermatitis due to the thinness of the skin. They’re only a quarter of the thickness of the skin on the rest of the face and because of this, there’s a relatively high level of skin absorption. Further, since eyelids are frequently touched and rubbed inadvertently by contaminated hands and fingers, eyelids are more likely to be affected, whereas the source areas can remain disease-free. Although irritant contact dermatitis is the most common form of contact dermatitis , allergic contact dermatitis is the predominant source of eyelid dermatitis and can result in dryness, fine scaling, burning and itchy eyelids.

Although a careful history, including details of all possible allergen contacts are key to solving the probable cause of a eyelid dermatitis, I will cover some of the most common eyelid irritants.

Sources Of Itchy Eyelids Or Eyelid Dermatitis:

A prime source of eyelid dermatitis is hand transfer and may be seen in persons handling rubber, metals, very fine particles and other materials.

Hair products and cosmetics are notorious at causing itchy eyelids. Hair dyes, bleaching agents, perfumed hair sprays and shampoos can affect the eyelids and nail polish can be transferred to the eyes when touching the face. Glues in artificial nails can be transferred in a similar fashion. (Interestingly, cosmetics applied to the hair, face or fingernails are more commonly implicated in eyelid dermatitis than those applied to the eyelids themselves.) Rubber in makeup sponges and eyelash curlers can also affect the eyelids. Nickel is a very common cause of itchy eyelids with a prevalence in the general population of roughly 15% who develop eyelid dermatitis from nickel-plated eyelash curlers, nail files and tweezers.

Other very common causes of eyelid dermatitis or itchy eyelids include sensitization to fragrances or formaldehyde in facial tissues.

Airborne allergens include pollens, animal hairs, dust and any volatile agent such as household sprays, insecticides and occupational synthetic chemicals.

Plants are another source of itchy eyelid to consider. Poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac can cause marked swelling of the eyelids with minimum involvement of the face.

How To Relieve Itchy Eyelids

So you see there are many possible sources to irritate the eyelids. The question I get asked the most is, "How can I relieve my itchy red eyelids?"

To restore your eyelids you should first be aware of what it is that is irritating them and try to stay clear of this. Sometimes this is difficult to determine at first but keeping a journal of when your symptoms are strongest can be very helpful.

Then follow these recommendations to help relieve the itching, redness.

1) Cleanse with warm (not hot) water and use a mild, "non-soap" cleanser that is hypo-allergenic, fragrance free. It is important that it contain only natural ingredients filled with nutrients that will begin moisturizing your skin. Most soaps (even those listed as gentle or doctor recommended) are extremely drying and irritating - this is NOT the result you are looking for.

2) Next, in caring for your itchy eyelids, it is important to couple your skin care with a cream that is specially formulated for the delicate skin on the eyelid and face. It must be a fragrance free, all natural and deep moisturizing face cream.

Use formulations with gentle, yet effective, preservatives such as antioxidants (vitamins C and E) and citrus seed extract that will promote better skin health.

Function Of An Itchy Eyelid Cream

A natural and effective cream should repair and restore cells 7 layers deep to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin! You see, if your cream does not penetrate these layers, the slowed sloughing or exfoliating of dead cells causes cells to clump together in flakes or scales. Eventually, as the epidermis becomes thinner and more fragile and the subcutaneous layer of fat diminishes, your skin loses its strong protective function.

A quality face cream should also be formulated with vitamins, herbal botanicals and shea butter to have the capability to begin hydrating and soothing problem skin. Also important is that it stops the itching associated with dry itchy eyelids while it's working.

Learn to read labels because most creams contain irritating chemicals and mineral oil which simply sits "on top" of the skin, suffocating your pores.

My under eyes had started reacting severely to my prior face wash and moisturizing products. My under eyes were red, raw, painful, and would get extremely dry with scaling which made it difficult to wear makeup under my eyes because the makeup would look awful on top of the scaling skin. I  started using the Face & Neck TheraCream and the All Over Face & Body Wash exclusively, and within a couple of days, I felt relief. The TheraCream is so moisturizing!  After only 1 week, the redness, burning and scaling skin had completely stopped and all dryness under my eyes has gone away. I will continue to use these products and now look forward to trying some of the anti-aging products as well. Thank you Aim2Health!  Jenny F.

Dear Nanette,

I had very red, dry and ITCHY eyelids - on top and on bottom!! I was beside myself scratching ALL DAY LONG! I had a hard time going out of the house because I couldn't stop the itching and peeling that I experienced every day. Steroid creams would make it worse and even thinned the skin on my eyelids making them painful to the touch. You recommended the FACE & BODY WASH and the FACE & NECK THERACREAM and wow!!! What a difference in just a matter of a few days! I will always use your products as they are all natural and make my eyelids feel great. I thank you from the bottom of my heart...I am so happy! Patricia, Australia

Attached are two photos. I was having terribly itchy eyelids and did a bit of looking around on the internet and came across your website. I took a photos every day or two for two weeks after using the Face and Neck Cream and after two weeks my eyes were healed! My eyes are great now and they have been great for two months or more now. Thank you for this great product. I have bought if for my mother and given some to my sister-in-law. Love it....! Sarah

Here are before and after pictures of my seborrheic dermatitis on my eye....the differences are dramatic for me. My eyelid was red, swollen, itchy and flaking. The flaking was near my eyelashes.

Within 2 days of using your Face & Neck TheraCream, my symptoms were beginning to be controlled. The swelling started disappearing, the redness was gone, and the flaking had subsided. Within 1 week, I noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. It was so much smoother. I use this product twice every single day. It goes with me everywhere. I have informed both my dermatologist and eye doctor about this "miracle" cream. This is amazing. I honestly had spent a fortune on different creams, ointments, prescriptions and doctor appointments. Your cream is the only one that provided immediate results that were soothing as well. When your eyes hurt, your whole body seems to be affected. Your cream is smooth, light, and a heavenly miracle. Thank you so much. Don't ever stop making it. I don't know what I would do. You are a keeper. Jill A.

I have tried many products and some would seem to work for awhile but as soon as winter approached the dry, itchy patches on my eyes would return. I got a really bad case on my eye that I couldn’t get rid of. I went six months without wearing any eye shadow thinking it might be part of the problem. My eye lids would just itch and then I started to get a patch on my lower face and a small patch on my forehead. I finally went looking on the internet and found the Aim 2 Health remedies. It saved me! Within days of using the products my patches started to clear and within in a week they were gone and haven’t returned. I’m back to wearing eye shadow and my face looks so much better. The thing that really sold me and got me to buy this product was the pictures and written accounts from the customers. So I hope this will help someone become a believer like I am. I used the Face and Body Wash and the Face & Neck TheraCream. Thank you so much for coming to my rescue. Kristie Anderson, Laurel, Montana

Letter to Nanette:

For years I had a very red, itchy, right eyelid. When I would get up in the morning it would be fine but the longer I was up it would start getting red and itchy. My doctor said to put Vaseoline on it but that didn't do any good at all. Then I found your website and began using the wash and face cream and I can't believe how quickly they worked to relieve the itching and take away all the redness and inflammation. I'm even wearing make up again! Sarah Wilkenson, New Jersey

To Nanette,

Last year I developed a rash under my eyes and I was promptly prescribed hydrocortisone cream. It didn't help much and the doctor referred me to see a dermatologist. I was told to keep using the hydrocortisone and I was discharged. As the steroid cream didn't help I searched the internet for another remedy and that's how I came across a product called Magicream. It claims it only contains natural ingredients and it promised to clear up my rash. I was so excited! I have recently found out that the cream in fact contains Clobetasol Propionate and Ketoconazole. I was devastated to find this out especially since side effects include red spots and a burning sensation! When I stopped using the cream the side effects were terrible - I don't need to tell you as you know how the withdrawal of steroid can affect ones face. I then did a search on line and found your website which made so much sense and helped me to understand what was happening with my skin. I ordered the Face & Body Wash and the Face & Neck TheraCream and I have been symptom FREE ever since. Thank you from a once frustrated person!! Trish Managold, UK

Hello! I ordered your face and neck cream because I was having problems with the area under my eyes and I was amazed. For a couple of months I had been suffering with dry cracked red burning skin. The first time I put on your cream I was amazed. I could feel the relief right away. After 4 days most of the dry, red skin was gone and after a week it was pretty much back to normal. I usually don't buy things like this without someone telling me about it but I was so miserable I was ready to try anything. I would highly recommend this product. Thank you for the relief.
