Can patches be reused multiple times and why?

Perhaps the most effective way to combat wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes today are patches. When using Korean cosmetics, you need to know why some types of patches can be used several times, while others cannot.

Sometimes even the first result is very noticeable. Having received the long-awaited nourishment, the skin simply transforms:

• becomes smoother and fresher;
• wrinkles disappear;
• dark circles under the eyes disappear,
• the face looks younger.

The effect is very pleasing, there is a desire not to part with the nutritious pads, to use them as often as possible. However, the amount of product in the package is limited. Some manufacturers offer customers cases where there are many pairs of patches, while others have only 2 pairs in the kit. The minimum set includes only 1 pair.

Each brand has its own instructions on how to use the nutritional pads. Most often, manufacturers recommend using patches 1 or 2 times a week... The course of application is at least two months.

For 60-90 days of regular use of eye patches, fine wrinkles disappear. Beneficial substances penetrate the skin, smoothing it.

Many questions arise regarding the use of patches. For example, I wonder if the tool can be used several times. A lot was paid for a couple of linings, and after removal they change little in appearance and moisture. Why not apply the petals again?

The appearance of the tool used should not mislead users. Manufacturers do not in vain indicate the rules for the use of their product. Deviation from the instructions for use can lead to unpleasant surprises. If the inscription is "disposable", it should be used only once. There is an indication of reusable use - you can use it many times.

Reusable patches are available from many Korean companies. Europeans have also launched the production of applicators, which are in great demand. For example, some brands are reused.

• Talika. French brand applicators are available in 6 pairs per pack. The petals are saturated with oils and enriched with ceramides. Can be used three times.
• Hyalual made in Switzerland. The nutrient medium includes hyaluronic acid, biopeptides and various natural components. A pair of onlays can be used up to seven times.

A number of manufacturers of hydrogel pads advise not to throw them away after the procedure, but to soak them in hot water. At high temperatures, the gel dissolves, the resulting mass is used as a regular mask.

Do not deviate from the instructions for using patches. Even when it seems that after removing it from the face, there is still a miracle cure on the petals, you do not need to flatter yourself and stick the petals again. If the manufacturer has not indicated the possibility of multiple use of the product, violation of the rules will lead to the opposite effect.

Secondary use will do more harm, as used disposable stickers acquire certain qualities.

• They lose elasticity. Tissue species begin to crack after a short time after being removed from the face.
• They lose their beneficial properties. The moisture remaining on the disposable pads is only the basis of the nutritional composition. The skin absorbs beneficial ingredients in no more than half an hour.
• Acquired by bacteria.

After buying a package of eye care products, I want to know how to preserve it. The rules are extremely simple:

• disposable gel and cloth patches are suitable for room temperature;
• reusable silicone and hydrogel are better in the refrigerator.

However, there are some nuances. So, the first type of cosmetics should not be left near a fire, heating appliances, or in the sun.

The latter should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. After removing the patches from the face, rinse lightly, shake off the remaining water and place in a nutrient medium.

The under eye pads are impregnated with various active ingredients. Some of them are contraindicated in people with allergic reactions. In order not to harm thin skin, you need to carefully study the composition of the cosmetic product before buying.

It is not recommended to use patches in the following situations:

• in case of damage to the skin, until complete healing;
• with conjunctivitis;
• people suffering from eye diseases;
• persons susceptible to rosacea.

First, you should test the patches on a small area and wait a couple of days. If a negative reaction does not follow, feel free to use the miraculous petals. By the way, after gluing it is not necessary to remain motionless. The adhesion is so strong that during the entire period of exposure (about 20 minutes), you can go about your usual business without fear of slipping of the linings.

It is strictly forbidden to leave patches overnight. Only for the first twenty minutes the skin is nourished. Later, the linings dry up and the reverse process begins.

For maximum results, applicators are recommended to use since morning.
