Accumulation of oil on the face or on the eyelid may increase the risk of breakouts, whiteheads, and itching on the skin. Oily eyelids are one among the painful conditions, as most of them struggle with acne and cystic boils around the eye area.

The excess amount of oil accumulated on the eyelids may lead to a blind pimple being developed on the eyelid and other skin irritation concerns.

For those who suffer from oily skin often, they may also suffer mostly from oily eyelid problems and hence this condition should be taken care of as soon as possible.

Apart from the skin problem, it is very difficult for the eye makeup to stay on the oily eyelids for a long period of time.
