What moisturiser?
Discussion
Yes, I realise I'm leaving this wide open for the comedians, however I'm hoping I'll get some decent feedback anyway.
I workout every night, and am generally very active (cycling, rock climbing etc) as such, I've found the constant wiping of sweat from my forehead and eyes, has caused my eyelids to become very sensitive & dry.
Any ideas? I've tried Nivea but it stings like buggery and doesn't do very much other than sting like buggery

Oh feck - don't get me started!!

As a sufferer of very mild psoriasis I've tried loads of stuff!
It mainly affects my nose (known as Rudolf to the wife and kids) giving a very attractive flakiness and redness.
My gran (an ex-nurse) used to give me Betnovate, but I told doctor and he wasn't happy - its quite a strong steroid apparently!
Mrs Fastra says I should get some laser treatment done.....
I've tried loads of different stuff. The wifes a QVC freak and so I have a vast quantity of Aveda, Moulton Brown, and Liz Earle to choose from - none of which to any good for me!
Tried Niva for men - no good!
Now using Oil of Olay, and its actually pretty decent!
So, Oil of Olay - only about a fiver, give it a go.

Too easy....
Same problem, I exercise a bit and sometimes end up having 2-3 showers a day so my skin ends up feeling like sandpaper.
I've used clinique moisturiser for years, works well. Just started using loreal which is a bit thicker and seems a bit more astringent. Going back to clinique.
Oil of olay with sunblock built in seemed fine also, although a while since I used it.
For your eyelids though, I'd try and find something specialised for the eye area as normal stuff is too oily and also stings like all f*$% if you rub / sweat it into your eye.
