Home Remedies That Work #4

Baby Shampoo 

A half-and-half solution of baby shampoo and warm water is a simple, effective way to clean eyelids that are itchy, red, or crusty. The condition could be blepharitis, a common eye problem in older adults.. It can cause scaling and crustiness along the base of the eyelashes. Gently cleaning the eyelid with ababy shampoo wash helps get rid of oil and bacteria but won't sting your eyes.

Try diluting a little baby shampoo with an equal amounts of water twice a day, then gently rubbing the mixture with fingertips on the closed eyelid  and along the eyelashes for one minute. rinse well with water. Make sure that you use the baby shampoo only on the lid, and not on the surface of the eye.
