3. Reaction to Moisturizers and Grooming Products
Likewise, if the problem isn’t caused by makeup, then there are many other health and beauty products that might lead to the issue. These include moisturizers, face wash, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and really anything else at all that you put near your face.
If you have recently changed your skin products, and that’s roughly when you started to notice blepharitis, then this is a likely sign that you may have an allergy to something in that product.
That said, it’s important to remember that you can also develop new allergies at any point. So even if nothing has changed in your beauty and hygiene regimen, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your products are off the hook!
It’s time to play detective: take all of the products that you normally use out of your routine and instead just rinse with water. If that helps the issue to subside, then you can try gradually reintroducing each item until you find the culprit. At that point, it’s worth investigating what the ingredients of the product are so that you can find the precise element that is upsetting your skin.
