I use baby shampoo (CVS brAND) to wash my eye makeup off. It is very gentLe and allows me to wash my eyelashes throroughly. It was suggested by multiple websites when i researched clearing up the eye infections. There is a strategy of wiping your lashes from the inside out, stimulating the oil glands so they don't get plugged. Afterards I have been using cliniques 'all about eyes.' I know this REALLY works well in the winter. I worked outdoors this winter and when it was unbelievably cold I found myself applying face moisteurizer to my eyelids 18 times in one day (yes, I counted)...the next day I woke up with swollen, chapped lids. My mom gave me the clinique moisturizer and I only applied it 5 times that next day and a 3 or 4 times the next day and it cleared up the chapped lids...Just once a day was good after that. I'm not sure if it will be too oily in the summer, but if you are prone to dry skin, and eye infections, I reccomend it.

I use it as well, and have always wondered if it is at all harmful. ---Any answers? I noticed there was no mention of using hemorrhoid cream around the eyes, as many models claim to use.
