I used a toner yesterday and the top of my eyelids are inflamed and itchy. What can I do to soothe them? They just hurt too much and I can’t see a doctor now 😢 Any home remedy in the meantime?

If it’s an exfoliating toner (i.e. with any acids) don’t use on the eye area!! Sorry, OP!

Cetaphil may be good, and don’t rub them! No matter how itchy. Ice pack as well. Make a telehealth appointment ASAP with a derma (call and tell them it’s an emergency if you aren’t able to find appointments online) or CVS minute clinic. Sorry, OP!

Try rinsing really well with cool water and even applying a little bit of ice. I have gotten similar reactions just under my eyes and keeping the area completely free of products for a bit seems to help. You could also use a little Neosporin, since it promotes healing but is petroleum based so non-penetrative

Do you have any aloe gel? That can help soothe them and in the future you avoid the upper eye area. 🥴 Feel better.

Hydrocortisone works for me! These symptoms flair up for me every once in a while, especially in the winter. I’ve been to a derm and over the counter hydrocortisone was what they recommended and it always clears right up (less than 12 hrs).

Curious - What type of toner? I’ve been using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid toner but am looking to try out others.

La Mer is the best.

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
