My friend Y never wears sunglasses. This drives me bats. The skin around our eyes is super delicate, and needs as much protection as we can offer. As a result of her irrational refusal to submit to my demands, she's the only person I know who has every burnt her eyelids. She claims that she doesn't burn them every time she's out in the sun because she normally wears a lot of dark eyeshadow. True or urban myth? True. Colored makeup pigments frequently have a lot of minerals, which are natural sunscreens. That being said, wear sunglasses!
Now if you do manage to burn your eyelids, brew a strong cup of tea, using one black and one green tea bag. Let it cool, then refrigerate. Soak two cotton pads in the tea, and place them over your eyes for ten minutes. Repeat an hour later, and before bedtime.
