Liquid eye patches: features, selection and application

For modern beauties, there are many cosmetics and procedures for face and body care. Recently, liquid eye patches have become very popular. Let's take a closer look at this product: its features, selection and application.

Liquid patches - It is an alternative to the recently popular hydrogel and tissue patches, which are similar in texture to a mask or gel. But since they are used for the skin around the eyes, they are usually called "patches" - in fact, this is just a marketing ploy that sometimes confuses buyers.

Patches are applied to the eyelid, remain there for the specified amount of time, then they are removed, a care product is applied to the skin... At the same time, beauty requires clear actions. And it's important to do everything right.

The patches cool, moisturize, tone and smooth the skin, while having a fairly quick effect. The list of effects of certain models is quite wide, you need to read the instructions, because some patches can only tone up, others also have a regenerating effect, can be used to treat acne.

Liquid patches have their own characteristics. Clear application to a specific area for exposure and economical consumption, they do not slip, do not interfere with the visual view, during use, a woman will be comfortable going about her business. But there are also disadvantages.

The composition usually includes the following ingredients:

• collagen and glycerin, hyaluronic acid - moisturize and restore the skin;
• antioxidants - help with a rejuvenating effect;
• tartaric acid, caffeine - will increase blood circulation;
• peptides - add elasticity to the skin;
• essential oils - have an extended list of effects;
• seaweed, ginseng, aloe and more.

What effect does the manufacturer of liquid patches promise, how to apply them correctly, what procedures to do after use? There are many questions and they are important. In order for patches to have maximum impact, they must be used correctly.

Before applying the gel to the eyelids, you should thoroughly cleanse your face, blot well with a napkin or towel. Read the instructions for use carefullyas gels can have different absorption times.

The scope of the patches is quite wide. You need to apply the gel to the area that requires correction - usually it is 2 millimeters below the eyelid from the inner edge of the eye to the outer one. Despite the fact that the patches are intended for the eyes, they can be used on other areas of the skin - deep nasolabial folds, the area between the eyebrows, the neck is also perfectly corrected.

There is no single answer to the question of how often to use liquid patches. There is a range of options from the first week of daily use followed by 1-2 times a week, up to 2-3 times a week, a daily basis.

Sometimes a combined method is used: the first month every day, and then to maintain the effect 2-3 times a week. Temporary exposure can also vary, from 10 minutes to 1 hour, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

When the exposure time ends, the liquid patches disappear, and the beneficial substances are absorbed into the eyelid. The remains of the gel can be "driven" into the skin, if there are no unpleasant sensations.

There is no need to rinse off the gel, except in a situation where too much product has been used... Then there is a chance that the makeup applied after this will roll off. Or rinse off at the request of the manufacturer. After using the patches, apply an eye cream to help maintain the effect for a longer time.

When choosing, it is worth considering a number of aspects.

The desired effect is usually clearly stated on the packaging. Do not hesitate to consult the seller if you are unsure of the data, or if there is no manual in Russian.

The range of the price category is quite wide, from 77 to 3000 rubles.
