Formulated in natural fibers such as biocellulose from biotechnology, the anti-dark circles patches are designed to quickly deliver beneficial ingredients to the eye area.
Just apply them for at least 10 minutes to get a visible result, but nothing prevents you from keeping them in place all evening, or night, for a more intense action.
Eye contour, an extremely delicate area
The use of eye patches is not just a star “habit”, far from it. Due to the very thin epidermal layer, more than other areas of the face, the eye area needs a lot of care because it is subject to different problems.
In addition to the signs of fatigue, the problem of this area of the face is skin aging: as evidenced by a research conducted by Shiseido during the lockdown, moments of strong stress age the eyes as soon as they are over 25 years old.
The external stress is then added to sagging skin, weakening of the orbital muscle e the lowering of collagen production which no longer keeps the skin taut and toned.
In addition, the stress of the lymphatic vessels causes water and toxins to accumulate, causing swelling and a sense of heaviness.
Anti dark circles and bags patches: what they contain
To ensure the effectiveness of the eye patches there are specific ingredients: caffeine and ginseng to activate local microcirculation, C vitamin for a brightness boost, hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate e collagen to compact, elasticise and lift where it is needed.
Post-application draining massage
At the end of the application, it is important massage the remaining product by tapping it with the fingertips, so as to carry out a mini draining massage against excess fluids and therefore swelling.
If desired, to further enhance the result, you can either apply eye contour cream or switch to a more intensive massage with a specific tool as recommended by Paltrow herself.
