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.

Vaseline

Calling all lazy girls out there, this product is for you!

This isn't a new product, but it is great & definitely worth a try.
This is Vaseline's Spray & Go moisturiser.

It is literally that. A spray on body lotion/ moisturiser.


I tried this product when it very first came out years ago & then it was great. They rebranded & relaunched it last year(or so), so I picked it up again. I always pick this up if I'm going away, as its so quick & easy to use.

I love this product! It's so simple & easy to use. I really don't have time for body butters, I like them, but all it does is get under my nails (which makes my cringe). This moisturiser is also quite light, so it sinks into the skin really quickly. Getting dressed straight away, no problem!

If you have super super dry skin though, it probably won't give you the amount of moisture you need, so if you're suffering with quite dry skin I'd advise something heavier like a body butter.


This is an lazy/ busy girl essential in my opinion. If you are ever in a rush but need to moisturise your body this will be your best friend.

They do also have other scents & types in the collection like cocoa butter, which might be more moisturising. So check them out when you're next in the drugstore.

They also go on offer quite often too, so keep an eye out if you're not fancying the full price!

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 #2

I overall have pretty good skin so picking a face cream/ daily moisturiser isn't that much of an issue.
To be honest the main thing I look for is something that doesn't make me greasy halfway through the day!

Fancy creams aren't really my thing, but I decided to try the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Daily Moisturiser a while ago.


I would like to note I have since repurchased this product, which says something!
This moisturiser retails for £14.99, however I always manage to pick it up on offer.

The cream itself has a nice light rose scent, nothing too offensive. It also has some blurring properties to it, which is great for people who have visible pores. I also find when I use this it also gets rid of any dark marks/ discolouration on my skin.
It doesn't do a lot for my rosacea though. Sadly not many products do!


I do like how this cream feels on my face, it sinks into the skin pretty quickly which I prefer.
It also doesn't make my skin greasy at all, this is probably my favourite thing about this cream!
I really don't think you could ask for much more from this cream.

It doesn't claim to be anti-aging, but L'Oreal do have many other skincare ranges to suit any age.
I have quite a few items from the 'Skin Perfecton' range & overall think it's a good range.
I would say it's suited for people around the 20 - 30 year old mark.
