I can't wear moisturizers as they burn my eyes- even when they're applied a good inch away from them. Need a good moisturizing masque- prefer one I can buy, but if there's an easy homemade one I'll try it.

Mashed up avocado with honey in it. It has worked better than any other mask I have tried. Do just plain moisturizers/eye creams bother your eyes? It is usually the extras in creams that burn- SPF, retinol, Vitamin C etc.
 Redheads have more fun.

It will take a couple hours, and then my eyes start burning/ stinging. Sunscreens are really bad, but I go ahead and deal with them in the summer. I've never tried the Vit.C, but now I just don't bother trying anything as they all end up burning my eyes. I might try the avocado masque, what are th ratios you use and how long do you leave it on?

agree not much to ask, is it? non-whitening, non-greasy, non-eye-ball-searing face gunk how hard can it be! a very big gap in the market, surely Ryan wrote:barbiegirl wrote:Mashed up avocado with honey in it.

Sonya dakar - the essential omega 3 oils work great. non irriating/ smell great/good for flying bc that masks the scent of weird stuff on planes people/foods etc.. better than masque work great for flying too. Also. Ole henrikson has good gel masque too.
