Lanolin for these eyes

Life gets trickier when skin is unhappy. For a few years I've had itchy eyelids, especially in the corners of my eyes. Also, my eyes watered nearly constantly, and was pretty sure it wasn't because my 'drainage channels' are blocked (the only solution proposed by my doctors). With time, I eliminated causes / solutions. Nothing worked until 1) started mixing my own moisturizers (adding now that the itchy skin was also pretty scaly). High quality food oils didn't seem to help. Forget why but tried lanolin - and that started improving things. (Shea around the eyes bothers me.)

Lanolin is part of my cure.

It is too stiff to use as a lotion thus trying our various oil additions. I've currently settled on grape seed oil and hemp oil. Getting better but still a bit scaly. Read, read, and read more.

Yeast overgrowth? I was actually happy to find out testing wasn't useful --- no need to feel guilty about continuing the self diagnosis / continuing with un-moderated science experiments on my only body.  Having used tea tree oil without issue around my eyes (common 'cure' for excess demodex around eyes).

Hurrah! The End (mostly) of watery eyes and scaly skin! Done and done.     

I've also discovered that basically any type of skin soap bothers the eye skin of mine. I've tried many many kinds. See another post here for some ideas of what they might be.
