When to use eyelid wipes?

Eyelid wipes are a great way to remove eye makeup and help ensure that eyelids and eyelashes stay clean. Regular use of eye wipes helps keep allergens away from eyelids and eyelashes, and may alleviate eye allergy symptoms. Using eye wipes after spending a lot of time in front of the screen can help relieve dry eyes, blurred vision, redness, and more. Eyelid scrubs are gentle cleansers that soothe inflamed eyelids and help treat some eye conditions.

They eliminate bacteria, oils and crusts that form along the lash line. This helps to relieve itching and inflammation. Some doctors recommend applying warm compresses, before using soap or commercial cleaning products, to remove any residue that has accumulated at the base of the eyelashes. Other doctors recommend using a clean washcloth or a lint-free cloth, soaked in warm water, to gently rub the base of the eyelashes.

Gently rubbing for 15 seconds per eyelid loosens any residue and helps to wash it off. The key is to rub very gently, just enough to moisten the fabric and release the residue. For all of these conditions, the right eyelid wipe may help.

Eyelid wipes

are pre-moistened pads that remove residues and oils released by clogged eyelid glands, as well as unwanted bacteria or hardened makeup around eyelashes and skin.

Quidel i-Lid & eyelash wipes are available on a regular basis and with tea tree oil (a natural antimicrobial substance). Rub your eyelashes from side to side with your finger over your closed eyes with gentle pressure for 5 seconds each. Eyelid scrubs can be effective in relieving dry, itchy, and peeling eyelids due to ALMD or PLMD, although PLMD is more likely to return over time. Regular use of warm compresses, gentle eyelid massages and eyelid scrubs can help eliminate crust formation and reduce inflammation.

So the question is: can you preserve the integrity of the delicate eye area by thoroughly cleansing your eyelids? Are eyelid scrubs bad for you? Eyelid wipes formulated with tea tree oil are effective in eliminating bacteria, debris and dandruff, but are not too strong to cause irritation. People with blepharitis should practice good eyelid hygiene and apply a mild cleanser (such as a baby shampoo) to the eyelids to keep them crust-free, especially during exacerbations.
