Oily eyelids

Let’s take a closer look at this variant of the problem with eye makeup. Oily skin around the eyes is rare, but it brings a lot of problems to its owners.

How to recognize that you have oily eyelids:

shadows settle into the crease of the eyelid an hour or two after application
makeup stains on eyelids
the shadows don't blend well
a few hours after application, you notice that the color of the shadows has become much less pigmented
mascara imprints on the eyelids soon after application

Cosmetics for oily eyelid skin

Cosmetologists are developing special shadows for oily eyelid skin, which are particularly resistant to smudging and stay well on the eyes.

Among these shadows are:

There are also shadow bases for oily eyelids. They are created specifically to prevent any type of eye shadow from rolling off on the eyelids if they are too oily. This base should be applied in the same way as a regular eyelid base, distributing it evenly and letting it set for 20-30 seconds, after which you can start creating makeup.

Health and healthy lifestyleOily skin of the eyelids

It would seem that oily eyelid skin is nonsense, since there are no fat cells in that area of the skin, which is why excessive drying occurs and wrinkles appear. However, this phenomenon still exists, although oily skin is less common than normal or dry skin.

Its signs are quite characteristic: the cosmetics do not lie, but bunch up in the folds of the eyelids just a couple of hours after application. The mascara, crumbling, is smeared across the lower eyelid, turning into circles. It looks ugly, although if you compare oily skin with dry skin, it has much more advantages.

Oily skin becomes so due to the excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which an oily substance is released that maintains the elasticity and firmness of the skin. So, thanks to the presence of fat cells in it, it ages more slowly and the eyelids are no exception.

those with oily facial skin experience expression lines later than their peers with dry skin;
even from the sun, oily skin on the eyelids suffers less, as it becomes less dry;
Another advantage is the fact that in the eye area, even with oily skin, there is no main problem typical for it: enlarged pores and acne.

So you can live with it, as well as mask existing defects and try to reduce them, although in this case you will have to be prepared for a constant struggle, since it is hardly possible to completely eliminate the increased secretion of the glands, although there are cases that the skin type changes. This happens when hormonal status changes, as well as lifestyle.

It is almost impossible to find a division of eye creams based on skin type, since many manufacturers focus on mature, aging, irritated skin, but not on oily or dry skin, although such differentiation of face products is more than common.

Therefore, the same products are available for oily eyelid skin as for other skin types, the only thing you should pay attention to is their consistency. Creams are more rich and contain oils and lipids, which are essential for dry skin, but for oily skin they will be superfluous, so it is better to choose water-based gels, lightweight serums and oil-free emulsions.

It won't hurt to get a product for washing oily skin and removing makeup. On sale you can find not only cleansing emulsions, but also those with a matting effect.

It wouldn't hurt to use folk remedies. Decoctions of herbs that can be used for washing or as compresses are good for removing oily shine. These include:

Cucumber and parsley juice have similar properties. You can try simple masks. To do this, simply apply a mixture of grated raw potatoes, a mixture of low-fat cottage cheese and honey, chopped parsley, squeezed until juice appears, and red currant pulp onto your eyelids. Fruit masks with a large amount of fruit acids and vitamin C are generally good for the skin; at the same time they not only reduce its oiliness, but also moisturize and nourish. To achieve results, you need to do them regularly.

Decorative methods of struggle

If the use of masks and gels does not bring results, it is still possible to change your appearance by getting rid of the folds of shadows in the eyelids. In order for shadows for oily eyelid skin to lie well, you should begin applying them by covering the eyelids with a base foundation. As such, you can use special products, for example, concealers, or simply apply regular powder to the skin first. It will fill the folds and prevent the shadows from clumping.

It should be remembered that if without a base the shadows are absorbed by the pores of the skin, then when applied to the base they lie brighter, so it is important not to overdo it with the richness of the makeup.

Well, if this doesn’t help and the arrows still blur, it might make sense to try permanent makeup, which is long-lasting and guaranteed to last.

Do you often feel that your eyelids have become sticky and oily? What are the reasons for this?

The eyelids are known to be the driest part of the face. However, when they become oily, it becomes a matter of concern. Most of all, the stickiness of the eyelids interferes with applying makeup.

There are several symptoms that occur in people with oily eyelids. These include:

constant discomfort;
itching;
sweating of the eyelids.

Oily eyelids can have the following negative effects:

interfere with seeing clearly;
lead to smudging of makeup, especially in women;
provoke the appearance of wrinkles;
lead to chafing of the eyes;
redness due to friction.

Both men and women can experience this problem, but finding the exact cause can be challenging.

Here are some possible reasons why your eyelids may become sweaty, oily, moist, or sticky:

If you find yourself with a problem with oily eyelids during perimenopause or during pregnancy, then you should stop using eye makeup, as this may further increase sebum production, which will only worsen the problem.

The problem of sticky, oily eyelids can also develop due to eating large amounts of fatty foods, which provoke the production of sebum.

Frequent washing may also cause excessive oil secretion in some women.

Extensive use of moisturizing cosmetics can lead to the problem of oily eyelids.

The position of overactive sebaceous glands and the shape of your eyes are another reason why you may experience the problem of sticky eyelids.

Research shows that excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands in the forehead can lead to oily eyelids.

People who take cortisone-containing medications are more likely to produce excessive sebum, leading to sticky eyelids. Cortisone is a hormonal medication that is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as arthritis.

For some people, mild allergies may be the cause of sticky eyelids.

People who frequently dry their eyes and eyelids are more likely to suffer from this problem.

Stress is also a contributing factor to the development of oily eyelids. It leads to overstrain of the nerves, which causes increased secretion of sebum around the eyelids.

Women who frequently cleanse the upper part of their face are more prone to the problem of oily, sticky eyelids.

Since the problem of oily eyelids can be caused by a variety of factors, it is important to accurately determine the cause in order to choose the appropriate treatment.

If this problem accompanies you almost all day, it would be best to see an ophthalmologist.

Sometimes you need to undergo skin tests to determine the correct treatment.

By following these simple tips, you can apply makeup without worrying about the problem of sticky eyelids.

Before applying makeup

Before applying fresh makeup in the morning, make sure that there are no remnants of yesterday's cosmetics on your skin.

"You should make sure your skin is thoroughly cleansed of makeup and oils because this can increase the oiliness of your eyelids." [Www.refinery29.uk]

Always use cosmetics such as mascaras, eye shadow and eyeliner with soft applicators. Apply makeup to fresh, clean and dry eyelids

Wash your face with cleansers containing salicylic acid or alpha hydroxyl acids such as glycolic acid, which reduce oil production.

Cleanse your face thoroughly every morning and before bed. Remove sebum from the surface of the skin with a mild, foaming cleanser. Close your eyes and rub them lightly, then rinse off the cleanser. Pat your face and eyes dry with a clean towel.

If you have visited a specialist for treatment and the problem persists, return and continue treatment.

Try not to apply creams on the eyelids or very close to the lash line. The emollient properties of moisturizing eye creams will lead to the destruction of makeup.

IMPORTANT : Always use oil-free moisturizers and gels, they will not separate and remain on the eyelids.

A primer is a cream or lotion applied before applying makeup to improve coverage and lengthen the time the makeup stays on the face. An oil-free base is necessary to prevent makeup from smearing.

Prep your eyelids with an eye primer that will make your skin look smoother, matte and ensure your makeup stays in contact.

Eyelid primers also prevent creasing and can reduce oiliness.

(If you have not used a primer before, then for the first time it is better to seek help from a professional).

Replace your cosmetics with similar ones with a waterproof formula. Thanks to this, the makeup will stay on your face longer and will not float.

Using creams that control sebum secretion

Creams that contain salicylic acid are good for use on seborrheic areas of the face. Precautions must be taken to prevent contact of these substances with the eyes.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a disease characterized by erythematous lesions on the skin of the face, namely the nose, forehead, nasolabial folds and even eyelids.
Without an accurate diagnosis, treatment of eyelid dermatitis will be very difficult.

Reducing the amount of eye cream you use

Eye cream is effective in keeping the skin in this area hydrated and healthy, but too much of it can cause oiliness. Cut the amount you use in half, or try using just the night eye cream.

Use mattifying wipes throughout the day as needed. Don't rub your eyelids, but gently pat them to absorb excess oil, leaving your makeup untouched.

People who are often stressed can practice meditation and yoga to calm the nerves, which have a direct impact on the skin.
Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can reduce the problem of excess oily skin. Oily eyelids can also be prevented by changing your diet and reducing your intake of unhealthy foods and you will see positive improvements in your skin.
Avoid consuming large amounts of dairy products. This is because dairy products such as milk, butter and cheese contain high levels of hormones such as testosterone, which can lead to increased secretion of the sebaceous glands, which in turn can lead to oily eyelids.
Substitute dairy products such as almond milk and vegan cheese. If you are concerned about your calcium intake, leafy green vegetables, almonds and oranges will provide you with the nutrients you need.
Consuming whole grains is also important as they have less impact on blood sugar levels and thus reduce sebum production levels.
Finally, avoid rubbing your eyes frequently.

If oily, sticky eyelids (or any other eye problem) are making it difficult to see, including blurred vision, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Follow all instructions from your doctor for a speedy recovery.

Lately my eyelids have started to sweat. I didn’t think in principle that this was possible, but as it turned out, it happens. What does it have to do with sweating when I’m just sitting in the room, and not in the heat outside. Moreover, if I’m wearing makeup, it’s a nightmare. the makeup gets ruined and if it gets into your eye it burns terribly. what to do in such cases?

See your doctor. Maybe you have a problem with excessive sweating. And this is not just a cosmetic problem.

This happens to me, but I never even thought that it was a big problem.

Only the eyelids sweat. So I practically don’t sweat.

Vrednyuka_ya:

this is a big problem.

It's not big, but it's unpleasant. I thought maybe someone could tell me something good

Marishka , maybe try dry-dry deodorant, apply it like eye shadow

Kitty888 , do you understand what you are advising? Dry-Dry is designed to block the sweat glands of the armpits, containing almost the maximum content of aluminum salts. And you suggest applying this to the thinnest skin of the eyelids. What could happen to your eyesight and the skin of your eyelids, did you think?

Marishka , if this problem is so critical for you, then it’s really best for you to see a doctor. And if I were you, I would use less cosmetics, because... The sweat glands of the eyelids are located near the eyelashes, which you may be “clogging.” Or maybe it's a hormonal imbalance. We can only guess, but the doctor will give an accurate diagnosis.

I had this happen for a while. I contacted a specialist, they said that the reason was stress, they advised me to wait a little and if it didn’t go away, come back again, but, thank God, everything worked out.

In fact, it’s really better to find out the cause of the problem by contacting a specialist, but if you need a special product, for example, the one from “make up for ever” was called eye seal, it feels like water, not greasy, it is used for better durability of eyelid makeup and its better application, it kind of makes the makeup waterproof and the shadows don’t roll off and apply perfectly, you need to spread it drop by drop onto the eyelid, let it dry and then apply the shadows.

I discovered it because I have oily skin + a low eyelid with a “strong crease” (and the shadows did not stay on my eyelids at all, they rolled up into “sausages”, I always suffered because of this until I found this product, I tried a lot of things before but didn't help)

What to do if your eyelids get oily: tips, solutions and expert opinion

Olya Zhitpeleva

junior magazine editor

I leave the house: there are a couple of good layers of mascara on my eyelashes, wide black wings and thickly smeared pink shadow on my eyelids. The shading and color are even, without gaps, everything looks neat. It’s not hot outside, it’s not raining, it would seem that nothing threatens my makeup (except that I rub my eyes). But after a couple of hours, all that remains is a dirty gray-brown stain. The shadows crept into the crease of the eyelid, mascara was imprinted somewhere under the eyebrow, and the arrows “flowed” under the eye. The time for micellar water is coming, there is no other salvation. This is how people with oily eyelids live.

It’s been five years now that a mirror, make-up remover wipes and a pack of cotton swabs fit into my backpack for permanent residence. It’s dangerous to leave the house without them: you never know how your eyelids will react today not only to new, but also to already traditional makeup. Yes, sometimes that happens. You finally find products that stay on your face all day, you’re happy, and the next time everything doesn’t go according to plan. This results in a constant “staff turnover” in the cosmetic bag: products replace each other at the speed of the Flash, because they simply don’t fit.

Lifehacks against oily shine on the face

The skin should be cleansed delicately. Two washes a day are more than enough! Too frequent cleansing of the skin disrupts its protective functions and destroys the hydro-lipid balance. This can lead to excess sebum production, rashes, and even changes in skin type.
Apply absorbent clay-based masks to your face 2-3 times a week. They will cleanse the pores and tighten them, removing excess sebum, dust and makeup residues. This is a great way to get rid of oily shine on your face.

introduce products with cosmetic acids into your care. These anti-oily creams will gently exfoliate dead skin particles, releasing clogged pores and clearing away accumulated dirt. Moreover, acid treatment can moisturize the skin, regulate oil secretions and stimulate the natural production of elastin and collagen.

If you have oily, rash-prone skin, then get products with salicylic acid, tea tree extract and zinc. They will have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
Use a gentle facial scrub several times a week. It should contain small abrasive particles that will remove the upper stratum corneum of the skin, preventing clogging of pores and, accordingly, excessive sebum production. Try to avoid aggressive scrubs with large particles and do not scrub your skin until it becomes red. Yes, at first it will seem to you that your skin has become surprisingly smooth and clean, but this only stimulates the skin’s protective reaction - excessive oil production

Make sure your skin gets enough hydration. Creams and serums with hyaluronic acid, aloe juice and extract, allantoin, snail mucin and plant extracts should definitely be in your beauty routine, especially during this heating season
An effective life hack against oily shine is the use of thermal water. Spraying your skin, even on makeup, will give you the desired mattification and hydration. This is an extremely useful thing during the heating season - carry a small bottle of thermal water in your purse and spray it on your face once an hour

Carry mattifying wipes with you in your cosmetic bag. As soon as you notice a greasy sheen on your face, immediately blot it off with a few napkins and your makeup will look like new again!

If your makeup starts to run off and get stuck in wrinkles due to oily shine, then you can’t do without a primer! Not only will the absorbent primer prevent fat from appearing on the makeup, but it will also perfectly even out the surface of the skin before applying makeup
Set your foundation with mattifying powder. To avoid an overly powdered “geisha face”, which, by the way, is not in fashion now, powder only the T-zone, where unwanted shine usually appears.

If you need to look perfect at an important event and not ruin the photos with your shiny-as-a-pancake face, then you need a fixing makeup spray. Spray it all over your face after finishing your makeup and it will last longer without any shine
