The eye contour is the most delicate area of ​​the face, the first to show signs of fatigue, stress, and aging. Thin skin is particularly vulnerable to dehydration and fluid retention. Fortunately, modern cosmetics offer quick and targeted solutions: eye patches .

These small "pads" soaked in concentrated serums have become an essential beauty ritual, offering intensive treatment in just a few minutes. Here's a guide to discovering the benefits and proper use of eye patches for an instantly fresher and more rested eye area.

What Are Eye Patches and How Do They Work?

Eye patches are disposable, pre-cut crescent-shaped masks that fit perfectly around the eyes. They are generally made of hydrogel, biocellulose, or non-woven fabric and are soaked in a serum with a high concentration of active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, caffeine, vitamins, and peptides.

Their mechanism of action is twofold:

1. Occlusive Delivery: The patch material creates a physical barrier that prevents the serum from evaporating. This occlusive effect promotes deeper and faster penetration of the active ingredients into the skin.
2. Decongestant Effect: Most eye patches, especially when stored in the refrigerator, provide an immediate cooling effect. The low temperature helps constrict capillaries, visibly reducing bags and swelling.

The Main Benefits for the Eye Area

Regular use of eye patches can make a difference in the appearance of the eye contour:

• Reduction of eye bags and swelling: active ingredients such as caffeine or draining extracts help mobilize the fluids that cause morning or tired-induced swelling.
• Anti-Wrinkle Action: Hyaluronic acid and peptides intensely hydrate and plump the skin, smoothing fine lines, for a temporary filler effect.
• Refreshing and Relaxing Effect: The application itself is a moment of relaxation that helps relax the facial muscles.

For enhanced treatment, it's essential to choose a product formulated with specific, high-performance active ingredients. Matt's Skin Perfect Eye Mask is designed for hydrating and regenerating action. Thanks to its high concentration of Pure Snail Slime active ingredients, it offers a treatment to hydrate the eye area, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and giving the eye contour a more relaxed and luminous appearance.

Correct Use Guide: When and How to Apply Patches

To get the most out of your eye patches , application is crucial.

When to use them:

• In the morning: ideal for eliminating signs of sleep (puffiness and bags) before applying makeup.
• Before an event: a last-minute treatment that tightens the area for a more flawless makeup look.
• In the evening: for a moment of deep relaxation after a long day, before applying your usual eye contour cream.

Application Instructions:

1. Cleansing: Cleanse your face and dry the eye area thoroughly. The skin must be clean to allow the active ingredients to penetrate.
2. Placement: Remove the patches from the packaging. Gently place them under your eyes. Many prefer to place them with the narrow end toward the nose, but you can also place them the other way around, depending on where you want to focus the decongesting or smoothing action.
3. Processing Time: Leave on for the time indicated on the package (usually between 10 and 20 minutes). During this time, relax.
4. Final Massage: Remove the patches and gently massage the remaining serum into your skin, tapping with your ring finger until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.

Using eye patches is a crucial step in keeping the eye area hydrated and protected. When used regularly, like Matt's Skin Perfect Eye Mask , which offers a powerful boost, they can help visibly improve skin texture over time.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I reuse eye patches? No. Eye patches are disposable. Once removed, most of the active ingredients have been absorbed by the skin and the patch itself begins to dry out, losing its effectiveness and hygienic potential.

2. Can I leave the eye patches on longer than the recommended time? This is not recommended. If the patch begins to dry on the skin, it may actually begin to absorb moisture from the skin again, causing dehydration instead of hydration. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended application time.

3. Is it necessary to store the patches in the refrigerator? It's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended. Storing the eye patches in the refrigerator enhances their decongestant and refreshing effect, making them even more effective at reducing puffiness and puffiness.
