Reusable Eye Patches: The Ultimate Guide
Reusable Eye Patches: The Ultimate Guide
Should eye patches be an integral part of a skincare routine?
Not necessarily! But they add a boost to your everyday eye routine if you’re looking for that extra step. Although our reusable eye patches are designed for the eye area, you can repurpose them for other parts of your face like the nasolabial area or even your forehead.
Why choose reusable eye patches?
They help maximize product absorption.
Using the same eye patches, you get the benefits of different eye products.
If you enjoy using eye patches, this is a more sustainable option than single use products that you have to restock again and again.
They come in a case so you can carry them anywhere.
You can use them as a guide for your eye makeup and as protection for makeup fallout.
You have just received your reusable eye patches! Now what?
Before you use them, you need to wash them first. There’s no need for a special soap, just your usual hand or face wash. Then you pick your favorite eye product. It could be a cream or a serum. Use a small amount of the product; a little goes a long way. If you apply a lot of product the eye patches may start slipping. Leave for 10-20 minutes, remove the eye patches, wash them and place them on the plastic insert in their case.
If you use a thicker eye product like an eye balm, lukewarm water can help remove product remains from the patches more easily. Avoid products with retinol or exfoliating acids and make sure you test any new eye product you intend to use with your reusable eye patches.
For combatting depuffing or for these warm days, put your eye patches in the fridge for 30 minutes before using them.
