I am prone to dry skin. My face is extremely sensitive, which means I come in looking sandblasted when it's cold or windy. So I moisturize and use barrier creams and super hydrating lip balm and douse myself with sunscreen in the hopes that I don't slough off most of my face after a long day in the field.
Now that I'm older, I have a new problem. My eyelids.
My eyelids have gotten that crepe-y texture reminiscent of someone with eyes... much older than mine. And they recently started cracking in the cold.
What do I do about my eyelids once they've cracked? I must have tried every super moisturizer on the market, and they uniformly say "not for broken skin" in addition to "not for the eye area". I've been slathering them with non-medicated (non-mentholated) lip balm before going out, under the theory that if they're ok for lips, they're ok for eyes.
Do you run into this problem, and if so, what works for you?

I'll have to look that up. The stickiness may be a problem, though. I've found that I need to use the bare minimum because when I blink, it pushes around the moisturizer and is more likely to get into the eye itself.
