Amplify your skincare routine with under-eye masks

June 14, 2020

If you’re dealing with dark circles then these fatigue-fighting under-eye treatments is what you need.

Sheet masks are all the rage these days, but as Instagrammable as they may be, these masks are not exactly ideal for the skin around our eyes. Though a face mask might deposit a few beneficial ingredients near your eyes, at times you just need to target your under-eye area for dark circles and puffiness. According to beauty experts, lack of sleep, inadequate makeup removal, hot, dry indoor air as well as heavy eye creams (that can overburden skin at night and lead to swelling the next day) are all among the root causes of under-eye problems.

While there are ways to deal with fine lines, dark circles and under-eye bags by patting on your favorite concealer, there are various eye masks and patches, which are packed with feel-good ingredients that tend to your under-eye needs. Pop one on and in as little as a few minutes, they can brighten, firm, and hydrate the area.

Here are some of the best eye masks and comma-shaped patches specifically formulated to meet all of your eye care needs. After all, your delicate eyes certainly deserve some additional love.

Tarte Pack Your Bags 911 Undereye Patches

Your under-eyes will feel instantly refreshed after applying one of these patches, which are infused with the proprietary Rainforest of the Sea antioxidant complex. They are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and tested by both dermatologists and ophthalmologists, so whether you have sensitive skin, eyes, or both, you’re good to go. They’re full of ocean-inspired ingredients like jellified algae and packed with coconut oil serum to leave the eyes hydrated and illuminated in just 15 minutes.

Say goodbye to the appearance of under-eye wrinkles with this retinol-infused mask. This eye mask is designed with a stretchy cotton material to comfortably sit within the eye contour without sliding all over the place. The mask not only smooths the appearance of wrinkles near the eyes, but it can also target laughter lines when placed around the mouth.

Tatcha Luminous Deep Hydration Revitalizing Eye Mask

Want an extra powerful hit of hydration, try this mask, which was originally created to help heal burns. Tatcha Luminous Deep Hydration Revitalizing Eye Mask is made with sheets that seal revitalizing, antioxidant-rich botanicals into the skin. Apart from that, the mask is made of a unique, coconut-derived biocellulose material that forms a complete barrier, ensuring all those hydrators get sealed into the skin. It also contains brightening licorice extract.

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Eye Patches

If the skin under your eyes needs a quick pick-me-up with a boost of hydration, consider these eye patches to be equivalent of putting cucumbers on your eyes. Quite soothing right? Though these water-based patches are cooling when applied, stashing them in the fridge can amplify the chill factor, which feels oh-so-good. It comes packed with caffeine to help both brighten and de-puff your eyes, along with lavender and seawater to leave your eyes feeling relaxed and hydrated.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery Eye Mask

After a stressful day, you certainly deserve to give your eyes the attention they actually need. Put the mask on at night for just 10 minutes and wake up to glowing, well-rested under-eyes. This mask works wonders and you only have to use it once a week to reap the brightening benefits. Containing both caffeine and coffee extracts, the patches help minimize dark circles. They come dry; all you have to do is break the seal on the liquid chamber to saturate them with the formula once you’re ready to use them.
