Why is the skin below my eyes (on top of the cheekbones) and on my nose so ultra-sensitive? Whenever I sweat, while exercising or playing any sport, the continuous band of skin just below my eyes and on my nose burns like hell due to sweat. It proves to be quite irritating, and a minor distraction occasionally. Any specific remedies? I have tried some creams/Vaseline and lotions..they do not soothe at all; sometimes these creams worsen the itchy, burning sensation. PS - 1. I don't wear spectacles. Thus friction due to speck-frame is ruled out. 2. My facial skin is fairly smooth; slightly on the oilier side. Get a few blackheads occasionally. No acne, pimples. @ Technicolour eyes - thanks! Thats one thing I haven't tried as yet.
