Blepharitis safe skincare

I get so many questions these days about Blepharitis in general & skincare/ beauty products make a large percentage of those questions.
So today we're going to talking about Blepharitis safe skincare.

You might think you can use any skincare, when suffering however this isn't always the case. A lot of products can be heavy, especially eye creams & these can irritate the eyes. Also if a product is quite highly scented to fumes can get in your eye irritating them further or even making them sting.

So if you are suffering from Blepharitis it's definitely worth taking a look at your skincare products before repurchasing.


So here are some products that I've found to be suitable.

Simple Soothing Eye Balm
This is a holy grail for me! Honestly it is the best eye cream for anyone with Blepharitis, I swear. It's so Simple (get it) that you can smother it all over your dry/ sore eyes & it won't sting or upset your eyes. It has no fragrance as well, which is ideal. Sometimes if my eyes are sore, the skin around them can get really sore too & this is perfect for that. I even keep a spare in my handbag!

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser
This is very much like the eye balm, in the sense that it has no fragrance & no nasty strong chemicals in it. Again this is product you can literally use anywhere, even on the eyes if needs be. It's very moisturising & a little goes a long way. I also find this to be the only facial cream I can get away with using on broken or irritated skin (ie. if you have a red nose from an allergy or cold).

Benefit Dream Screen
This product is a little bit more holiday focused, although there is no reason you can't use in your everyday skincare routine. In fact it's probably advisable if you're using the Simple moisturiser mentioned above, as that has no SPF in it.
This facial sun cream is the only one I've found that isn't super greasy & heavy. It is scented, but only very lightly so it doesn't upset my eyes. I wouldn't advise applying it to your eye area, simply throw some sunglasses on!

Simple Micellar Water
This post isn't sponsored by Simple, I promise. They just make amazing skincare for those of us sensitive eye/ skin folk. This & facial wipes are the only products I've found which don't sting my eyes when cleaning my face & especially when removing make up. I would advise the micellar water over wipes as wipes only remove a certain amount of your make up. 

Superdrug De-stressing Face Mask
Some face masks can create a lot of fumes or can simply irritate your skin if you apply them too close to your eyes. I find the more natural face mask you can find the better. I've picked this one by Superdrug as it doesn't do anything crazy, but it does refresh your skin & leave it feeling super smooth. Another thing about this mask is that it has no scrub particles in it, so they can't get in your eyes.

Hope this helped some of you struggling.

A Simple skin routine

Brand rave alert!

The brand in question is Simple.

They are a skincare brand know for their sensitive skin products. If you have sensitive skin you probably know all about this brand & are saying 'YAS' right now.

I love this brand, I have sensitive skin, especially around my eyes so I find Simple to be the perfect brand for me. So I wanted to talk to you guys a little about my 'to go' Simple products.

So firstly there's the Light Daily Moisturiser which I use most days as it's a great moisturiser that doesn't leave me feeling greasy halfway through the day. It also sinks into the skin really quickly, which makes it great to apply before your make up. All Simple products are unscented as well in case you hate heavily scented skincare.

The second product is their Soothing Eye Balm. Like I said the skin about my eyes gets very sensitive & dry so this product is perfect. It is the only eye cream I feel truly safe using on my eyes as I know it doesn't sting/ or have any irritants in it. A little goes a long way with this product so a tube lasts for ages too.

The last product I'm going to mention is their micellar water, which I already have a blog post on here. This is again a great sensitive eye product. It's the only make up remover I can use on my eyes (other than facial wipes) that doesn't sting and actually removes the make up properly. This is my favourite skin discovery of the year so far!

If you haven't tried anything from the Simple brand I would definitely recommend you do so.
Especially if you have sensitive skin on any part of your face.
The ranges are also really affordable too!

Sunday Skin Secrets: Simple Micellar Water

In the beauty world micellar waters are a very hyped product, however it wasn't until recently that they've become quite readily available at the drugstore.

I believe Garnier were the first company to release theirs, which I haven't tried.
The brand that interested me was Simple.


I use quite a few different Simple products and generally love their skincare range.
There has only been one product by the brand that didn't agree with my skin, which was the eye make up remover.

Which leads me nicely onto my next point. This product is the only make up removing product I have ever been able to use on my eyes! This is a revelation to me! So if you have really sensitive eyes I would advise giving this a go! (Face wipes obviously work but I hate using them).

This product really has changed my skincare routine! I love it!
It's my go to product for removing make up & for beginning my nighttime routine. To me it's just perfect!
As it's by Simple it has no scent which I also really like, I think make up removers especially shouldn't have a scent.

Overall the only problem I have with this product is that the bottle isn't that big (200ml), I've finished a bottle in only a month...
Oops...
But that shows how much I've used it & love it!
