Overview
Dry eyelids are a common skin condition characterised by flaking, redness, itching, and a tight, irritated feeling around the eyes. As the thinnest skin on the body, eyelid tissue is especially vulnerable to moisture loss and environmental triggers. Causes of dry eyelids include exposure to harsh skincare products, allergic reactions, eczema, blepharitis, contact dermatitis, and dehydration. This guide explains the leading causes of dry eyelid skin and offers medically-backed treatments and prevention strategies to relieve discomfort and restore skin barrier function.
