How to Treat and Prevent Eyelid Inflammation

Eyelid inflammation, also known as blepharitis, affects the skin around the eyes mainly the eyelids.  What usually occurs is swelling, itching, and some pain.  The eye corners may crust or flake.  Occasionally, some may experience having styes and bumps could show up on the eyelid top.

• ·         What Causes Blepharitis?

The cause may be a staph infection, which can heal quickly or become recurrent.  The recurrent infections are more common in humid climates. 

Another type of Blepharitis is referred to as rosacea-associated.  It primarily affects people with rosacea, an inflammatory skin condition.

Allergies are another cause of the condition.  When allergies are involved, the skin around the eyes looks darker than normal, giving the appearance of a black eye or dark circles under the eyes.

Poor hygiene may be a cause or contributing factor.  Dietary factors that contribute to inflammation throughout the body and poor nutrition that contributes to a weakened immune system are other likely causes.

• ·         What is the Solution to Blepharitis?

A complete program is advised for people who suffer from chronic or recurrent Blepharitis.  A prescription antibiotic ointment may be necessary for an acute infection.

Care should be taken by women who use mascara to replace it regularly and throw it away if an infection occurs.  Bacteria from your eyelids will be transferred to the tube and can contribute to recurrent infections.

A complete program would address the causes, the symptoms and the factors that contribute to Blepharitis. 

• ·         Infection

In order to reduce the risk of infection, you should wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes or inserting contacts.  You should keep your bathroom surfaces clean by using alcohol or an orange oil cleanser.

You can find hand soaps and facial washes that contain active manuka honey, which has natural antibacterial activity, proven to be effective for killing staph.  You can also apply an eye contour gel that contains active manuka honey around your lids every day.

• ·         Rosacea, Inflammation and Allergies

Rosacea is an inflammatory condition.  Eating too many simple carbohydrates contributes to inflammation throughout your body.  So, whether you have the rosacea type or not, if the condition is chronic, you have chronic inflammation.

The dietary factors most often responsible for chronic inflammation is consuming too many simple carbs; breads and baked goods, pasta and white rice, white potatoes and yellow corn.  Corn oil is another problem, because of its popularity and its high content of omega-6 fatty acids, which are converted into inflammatory hormones.  Changing your diet could be necessary. 

You can address the problem of inflammation from the inside out by taking omega-3 fish oil, a natural anti-inflammatory and a good multi-nutritional supplement like Total Balance.  Herbal extracts like turmeric and piperine have natural anti-inflammatory activity.  The supplements will also strengthen your immune system, which reduces your risks of infection and may help reduce allergic reactions.

You can address the problem of redness and inflammation from the outside in by using skincare products containing Functional Keratin.  Functional Keratin stops skin inflammation.

• ·         Dark Eyelids

An eye contour gel is the solution to the symptom of dark eyelids.  Look for one that contains EYELISS and HALOXYL.  The European ingredients have been used for many years to prevent and reverse dark circles under the eyes.  They can also be used on the eyelids and at the corners of your eyes.  Eye contour gel contains the EYELISS, HALOXYL and active manuka honey.

• ·         What are the Benefits of this Program?

Most people want to know what they should expect from a program like the one mentioned above.  They want to know about the benefits.  So, here they are.

• ·         A possible end to chronic Blepharitis
