Dry skin. It may not sound like a big deal, but it can mess with your clear complexion, cause your makeup to flake off, make you late to an important meeting, completely ruin your day … OK, maybe we’re getting a little dramatic here, but you get the picture! While dry skin is typically a head-to-toe issue, we’ve noticed some particularly funny business going on in the facial region when it comes to the issue of dry skin patches. Like, what’s up with the nose peeling? And the flakes near your eyebrows? We HAD to get to the bottom of this beauty conundrum, so we asked dermatologist, Dr. Bruce Katz of Juva Skin in New York City a few questions as to why this happens and how to FIX it!
The Issue: Dry Skin Around Eyes and Eyebrows
Potential Causes:
1.Cosmetic Irritation
2.Allergies
3.Seborrhea
Do you fiddle with your mascara-coated lashes all day? Or are you constantly rubbing your eyes during those boring meetings? Touching your face is always a common culprit of dry skin, especially in/near the eye region. According to Dr. Katz, another common factor is the same reason some of you may hate cats — allergies. “Dryness or irritation around the lids can be caused by a skin allergy due to cosmetics, fragrances and also products that come down from your hair,” he says. Keep those bangs clean, ladies!
“A medical skin condition called seborrhea [red, itchy white scales] can easily be mistaken for typical dry skin. Flaking actually occurs from the scalp and can affect parts of the face such as the eyebrows and eyelids — in this case, it’s important to see your dermatologist if the signs and symptoms persist,” says Dr. Katz.
