If you've got itchy watery eyes from allergies, wash your eyelids!
Fall is a peak allergy season, and if you get itchy, watery eyes, there's something you can do to reduce symptoms. Wash your eyelids. Pollen naturally gets stuck to your eyelashes and eyelids, and by gently washing them with baby shampoo twice a day, experts say you'll prevent that pollen from migrating into your eyes.
It's also a good idea to shower at night. Thousands of pollen particles get trapped in your hair daily, and by washing them out before bed you won't be spreading them around and breathing them in while you sleep.
