Gentle Cleaning (Without Burning Your Eye)
Styes often come with crusting or debris along the lash line.
Cleaning helps, but harsh facial cleansers can irritate the eye.
The Safe Method
- Mix a few drops of tear-free baby shampoo with warm water.
- Dip a cotton swab into the mixture.
- Gently wipe along the base of the eyelashes (eyes closed).
This breaks up debris and oil buildup without stinging or stripping the skin.
Nana’s “Clean Pillow” Rule
While you sleep, bacteria transfer between your eyelid and your pillowcase.
- Change your pillowcase every night until the stye is gone.
- Avoid sleeping face-down or rubbing your eyes in your sleep.
- Do a final 5-minute warm compress before bed.
It’s boring. It works.
