MALTREATED EYE SKIN

[bernateadriana]

I am only 18 years old, but at a very young age I started wearing make-up. I kept cleasing my eyes with paper tissue and cutton buds. 4 years have passed, and I have notices that the sking under my eyes is very weak and red, is wrinkled and where the eye ends is ripped (more than what it normally should be). I would like to know if there is anything in dermatology that can help me!!?? I have tried creams and other natural products but nothing works.. WHAT CAN I DO!

Thank you so much commenting my question. I have not yet visited a demartologist since with the doctors I have checked, their appointments are way too expensive. I am currently trying the Beautiful Meaning Product of Cindy Crawford. However, it has caused me severe itching, dryness, and redness. I truly dont know what to do, and I am getting worried since is my face am dealing with. If there is anything, any product you hear about I would truly appreciate you to share it with me. Anything is helpful at this moment.

Thanks

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like contact dermatitis. Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.

Avoid using any lotions and creams near the eyes for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.You can also apply almond oil or skin creams containing vit C or K,alpha hydroxyl acids and kinetin.

If the symptoms persist then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
