Around theAllurevirtual office, we’ve also noted instances of mysteriouslyswollen and irritated eyelids.
And according to the experts, we’re not alone.
Improper removal of eye makeup can also “lead dramatically” to swollen lids, according to Dweck.
Start with a warm towel held over the affected area once or twice daily.
If you don’t feel any relief, pick up an over-the-counter lid scrub such asOCuSoft Lid Scrub.
