Get your dr to check you for Sjogrens disease. It seems to go hand in hand with lupus. My ophthalmologist has me use Systane lifquid eyedrops for daytime and Systane gel drops for night. There Rx’s for this, but so far the Systane has helped me.

I use a very thin non smelling castor oil. When I did my micro blading on my brows, she gave me done ima tiny tiny tiny pot like thug with a screwable top on. She said she ordered on amazon. Yeah it’s feels thick. But I see a difference. Plus the benefit is for my eyebrows, eye lids and lashes. If this font help good luck. But, I’m not stopping this reigning. I even put in outside of lips where wrinkles are starting to appear! 😱😱
