Under Eye Patch, Simple Treatment to Prevent Wrinkles in the Eye Area

Dream - Doing college assignments or completing work sometimes takes up a lot of time, making you stay up late at night or early in the morning. One of the effects is making the area around the eyes dark and dull.

Not only that, the eye bags also become thicker. This condition will make your appearance dull and not fresh.

Therefore, the eye area needs special treatment. One solution to overcome dark areas under the eyes is to use under-eye patches, you know.

Under eye patch consists of two types, namely disposable or reusable. Disposable ones are usually made of hydrogel and lyocell soaked in skin care ingredients such as niacinamide and hyaluronate. Meanwhile, reusable under eye patches are usually made of silicone or hydrogel designed to be placed on eye cream or serum for more effective absorption into the skin.

Moisturize and Smooth the Skin

"Under eye patches can provide temporary benefits like face masks," says Renée Beach, a dermatologist in Toronto.

Humectant ingredients like glycerin are proven to be effective in reducing fine lines, moisturizing, and brightening the under-eye area quickly and have a temporary effect. It is also important to know the side effects. Under-eye patches can leave residues that can cause milia, redness, irritation, and various other discomforts a few hours after application.

4 Steps to Blur Eye Bags, Auto Fresh Look

Dream - Dark under-eye bags can be very disturbing for many women. The causes can be many things, such as lack of sleep, excessive salt consumption, or genetic factors.

"Under-eye bags refer to swollen eyes associated with various factors such as weakened skin, loss of collagen, and herniation of fat pads on the lower eyelids," said Marisa Garshick, a certified dermatologist from New York named Dr. Marisa Garshick.

Herniation is the protrusion of fat pads, so it can cause swelling. As mentioned above, under-eye bags appear due to many factors, Dr. Garshick advises to consult a dermatologist first to know the details.

If under-eye bags are formed due to genetic factors, it will be difficult to get rid of them. The preventive measures that can be taken are to regulate sufficient sleep. Lack of sleep can cause swollen eyes because there is fluid buildup under the eyes.

If you have a history of allergies, it is likely that under-eye bags will appear because you always scratch the under-eye area. For this prevention, you can consult a dermatologist, usually doctors will prescribe medications such as antihistamines, topical creams including moisturizers and topical steroids.

For other causes of under-eye bags caused by UV exposure, Dr. Garshick suggests "use sunscreen to help protect the skin, including the skin around the eyes, to avoid damage from UV rays."

There is a common way to get rid of under-eye bags, which is by applying eye cream or serum.

"If you go to a dermatologist, they usually recommend laser treatments, microneedling or radiofrequency devices, and surgical treatments, which can help minimize under-eye bags," said Dr. Garshick.

How to Blur Eye Bags

1. Compress with Ice

A dermatologist, Joshua Zeichner, explained that cold temperature can soothe the eye area and help reduce swelling. That's why many beauty experts recommend compressing the face or under-eye area with ice cubes.

"Another option is to wrap ice cubes in a plastic bag or towel, then place the ice on the under-eye area. Compress for about 10 minutes and then gently massage the under-eye area to promote blood flow to that area.

2. Apply Eye Serum or Cream

The second step is to apply eye cream or serum. Look for eye serums or creams with beneficial ingredients to soothe, tighten, and conceal dark spots under your eyes.

Gently apply the product with your ring finger, then let it dry for a few minutes before moving on to the next step. If you have a facial roller tool, you can use it with upward motions after applying the serum. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to this sensitive area.

3. Use Concealer

You can use a light-colored concealer before starting your base makeup. Make sure to choose the right color to blend perfectly with your skin tone. Apply the concealer to the dark under-eye area, then blend and layer it with your daily makeup.

4. Use Powder

To perfect your makeup, you can cover dark under-eye bags by using loose powder. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, then brush it to blend.
