Why use eye gels if you use an eye cream?
While eye creams offer a nourishing and hydrating experience, eye patches provide a more intensive and targeted treatment for the delicate eye area and this is essential for maintaining a youthful and refreshed appearance.
Eye patches are known for their ability to instantly revitalize and refresh tired-looking eyes. The cooling and soothing properties of eye patches help reduce puffiness, alleviate eye fatigue, and provide a relaxing experience. By applying eye patches, you can give your eyes a much-needed break from the daily stressors and promote a more rejuvenated appearance.
Enhanced Absorption and Penetration
Eye patches can act as a "booster" for your eye cream, enhancing its absorption and penetration into the skin. The occlusive nature of eye patches creates a barrier that locks in moisture and prevents evaporation, allowing the active ingredients from your eye cream to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This synergy between eye patches and eye creams maximizes the benefits of your eye care products and ensures that your delicate eye area receives the full potential of their nourishing effects.
What are some of the benefits of under-eye masks?
Reduces Puffiness
Under-eye masks are effective at targeting and reducing puffiness—especially those with ingredients like collagen, aloe vera, green tea, and vitamins A and E.
Together, these powerhouse ingredients help to reduce puffiness while soothing and cooling the eye area. You’ll be left with skin that appears bright and supple.
For a more customized approach to under-eye TLC, you can select eye masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, chamomile for inflammation, and caffeine to help reduce swelling.
Eliminates Look of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Because the area under the eye is so fragile, it's easy for wrinkles to form there. Eye masks with collagen are an excellent way to combat the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.
Collagen boosts the production of a protein called elastin which increases cell turnover, resulting in smoother and plumper skin. It’s also effective at reducing the appearance of crow's feet and other fine lines and wrinkles.
Helps to Reduce the Appearance of Dark Circles
Dark circles are a common skincare concern. But eye masks can help your under-eye skin see the light!
Look for ingredients like Vitamin C and chamomile, which can fight free radicals, brighten your skin, and reduce inflammation. Multi-tasking Vitamin E can also help by reducing puffiness and making the skin appear brighter.
Hyaluronic acid is another popular solution to under-eye skin impacted by late nights and stressful days. It plumps and hydrates the skin, reducing the appearance of those dark-looking blood vessels.
How to Use Eye Patches
Eye patches are very easy to use. Simply follow these steps:
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
