Eye patches: why are they needed and how to use them

Someone believes in their superpowers to remove dark circles and swelling, and someone replies that all this is complete nonsense and a waste of money. We figure out what is actually true.

Types of patches:

  • fabric patches are the first patches to appear. They are impregnated with active substances. Their effectiveness is average, because an open package with patches dries very quickly;
  • hydrogel patches - very light patches that adhere tightly to the skin, do not slip, do not pull off even the delicate skin of the eyelids;
  • patches-plasters - best of all adhere to the skin, quickly and effectively provide drainage in case of severe swelling;
  • microneedle patches - patches that pierce the top layer of the skin, bringing active ingredients deeper into the epidermis.

What problems will patches help with:

  • remove puffiness and dark circles under the eyes;
  • improve microcirculation in the problem area;
  • fight expression wrinkles;
  • remove the consequences of lack of sleep or partying.

How do I use patches?

  1. First you need to cleanse the skin with foam, lotion or micellar.
  2. Massage your eyelids lightly with your fingertips to reduce lymph swelling and increase blood microcirculation.
  3. If you have puffiness, place the patches with the narrow side towards the nose and the wide side for wrinkles. Step back at least 2 mm from the edge of the lashes so that the liquid does not get on the lining of the eyelids.
  4. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes for the patches to adhere well to the skin.
  5. Use your fingers to rub the remaining liquid into the skin and apply a suitable cream.
