Eye Lid Cleansing is a very important step to removing crust, debris and thick meibum and the eye massage is used to expel the meibum/lipids.
After the warm compressing, the oils should be more liquefied and be more amenable to lid massages.
While ensuring your eyes are kept closed, the upper eye lid is pulled tight, and the edge of the index finger is used to gently pull downwards, across the top lids toward the lid margins/eye lashes 20 times,
The same process can be used for the lower eye lids, making sure to always push towards the lashes. Gently push your index finger UP across the bottom lids toward the lid margins/eye lashes 20 times.
SCRUB the eyelashes - Gently scrub back and forth across the lash lines with an eyelid and lash wipe.
Take out towelette from the box.
Close eye tightly, without squinting and gently cleanse the eye lid with a light pass along the lid line.
Use another towelette for the opposite eye.

Do we have to apply any cream before lid massage otherwise it pulls the skin, if yes then which cream is best and safe for lid massage. Also Warm compresses is not helping me with redness and fatique and swelling, what should i do as Dr said eye drops is the only thing that can help me with eye dryness. I am facing issues at work place... Please advise... When u massage lower eyelid upwards, will i get wrinkle under eyes or will the skin pull down because i am facing ptosis.
