dryness around eye's, eyelid, face neck
I noticed my neice has dryness around her eye's, on her eye lid and on her neck and forehead, and lips. I don't see her often and so I never noticed this before. She said it happens like this when it get's cold out. What is this and is there anything that she can do about it over the counter, or take something to increase the moisture on her skin. Her eye's look like her chaped lips.
Thanks for any help, her family does not have much income right now so I wanted to see if anyone knew what this might be.
