What it is?
As you know, the skin around the eyes is very thin. That is why the consequences of fatigue, chronic lack of sleep or an unhealthy lifestyle are most noticeable on it. A novelty in the Korean industry - eye patches - will help you quickly get yourself in order.

Eye patches are crescent-shaped pads that are impregnated with special substances. Their composition is different, and the concentration is high.... That's why after 20 minutes of use, the result is noticeable.

They contain active and adhesive substances. In theory, you can walk with them and go about your daily activities.
But it's still much better to lie down and relax.... It will only be beneficial, especially when there is such a good reason.
Now that we have decided on the need for application, it's time to talk about the types.

Appointment of different types of patches under the eyes
Any woman knows that there is no universal cosmetics. Manufacturers know this and make patches with different effects.
- Moisturizers. They quickly saturate the skin with moisture, and at the same time a complex of essential vitamins. Copes well with small wrinkles and is ideal for dry skin. But they may not have an effect on adult skin.
- Nourishing. More expensive, but have a better effect. They have a complex effect on the skin, since they contain placenta extract, medicinal herbs and pearl powder.
- Smoothing, they are gold. Their action is similar to Botox, they block the transmission of nerve impulses to the facial muscles. Contains colloidal gold, hyaluronic acid and collagen. Effective but high cost.
- Anti aging... Promote skin regeneration at the cellular level, trigger the natural mechanisms of rejuvenation, activate metabolic processes and encourage enhanced collagen synthesis. They contain antioxidants, peptides, collagen, herbal extracts and other additives. Recommended for adult skin.

Also, patches are divided according to the material of the pads, and there is a big difference in the achieved effect and method of application.
- Tissue. The most inexpensive, but their efficiency is low. They do not adhere very tightly to the skin, and therefore the action of the active substances is difficult.
- Silicone. They form a thin film on the skin and visually smooth it.
- Collagen... They quickly give the desired, but, unfortunately, short-lived result. Great for use before important meetings or events.
- Hydrogel... They adhere tightly to the skin and give excellent results. They are the most effective, albeit expensive.

How effective are they?
The impression of the patches is twofold. Some consider them a real lifesaver in a busy life, others - a waste of money. But here it is important to understand the very purpose of this cosmetic product. Despite the high concentration of active substances, patches are more of an adjunct.
You should not expect the effect of plastic surgery from a small pad. They will help after a sleepless night, but the effect will be short-lived.
For greater results, you can take the course within a month, but it is not recommended to use them every day all your life.

But for an ambulance before important events, patches are perfect. They are very easy to use, they need to be applied to clean, dry skin and held for only 20 minutes or more, as the manufacturer recommends. They give results faster than creams. After their application, there is no need to further process the skin.
But there are also contraindications, namely eye disease or skin damage. In this case, the use of patches is not recommended.

conclusions
The main "drawback" of patches is the overestimated expectations. They, like many cosmetics, do not work miracles. The area of their application is not the main one, but the auxiliary one.

But for quick relief to the skin, they are great. In addition, no amount of cosmetics will help with chronic fatigue and diseases. Love yourself, lead a healthy lifestyle, just be happy - and your appearance is guaranteed.
