EYE PATCHES - YES OR NO?
EYE PATCHES – one of the most beloved products for caring for the skin around the eyes. Besides being very trendy and in demand, when applied correctly, they are also very effective.
There are a huge variety of patches, and they are classified by their purpose:
-
Moisturizing – saturate the skin with moisture and a complex of vitamins.
-
Smoothing – their composition may include collagen, hyaluronic acid, colloidal gold. These components dull the transmission of nerve impulses and slightly block facial expressions.
-
Nourishing – a more expensive type of patches based on placenta, retinol, pearl powder, plant extracts, aimed at comprehensive skin health.
-
Restorative and rejuvenating – the composition includes peptides, collagen, coenzyme, extracts of algae, ginseng, caviar. Thanks to these components, the mechanisms of natural skin rejuvenation are activated.
-
Draining – relieve or reduce puffiness under the eyes. They are kept on the face longer than others.
Patches can be gel, fabric, reusable, or disposable.
The trend for patches is set by stars of the show business, many do not take them off for hours, even sleeping with them.
And now about reality!
Let's talk about the effect of patches on the skin. By applying them, we create a greenhouse effect, thereby hindering the natural evaporation of moisture, which is physiological. After removing the patches, the effect is certainly noticeable, but it is rather short-lived... Frequent and prolonged use of patches destroys the hydro-lipid mantle of the skin and the skin microbiome.
The composition of patches may include hyaluronic acid, collagen, propylene glycol. Their large molecule does not penetrate beyond the upper layer of the skin – the epidermis and creates a film, hindering the skin's breathing. Synthetic moisturizers provide only a short-term effect due to occlusion. And very soon, skin dryness sets in!
Most patches also contain formaldehydes, butylene glycol... Since we are alive, the petrochemical composition is harmful to us! I recommend always checking the compositions and studying the ingredients! After all, everything we apply to the skin passes through the liver! And not only the delicate skin around the eyes suffers, but the whole body!
Are there natural and non-toxic patches?
Of course - it's the German cosmetics Dr. Belter.
Patches made from highly purified collagen for maximum skin hydration and smoothing of wrinkles around the eyes. The patches are placed under the eyes and activated with a lifting essence, which releases microcollagen into the skin.
Lifting essence for activating collagen patches.
A composition of active components with hyaluronic acid, allantoin, patented complexes Eyeseryl® Peptide, Gratuline Expression®, and organic euphrasia extract effectively activates collagen action, hydrates the skin around the eyes, smooths wrinkles, and provides an instant lifting effect.
After 10 minutes of exposure, the skin around the eyes gains freshness and elasticity.
Patches should be used in a course or occasionally "for special events." Use exclusive, tested European brands, not fast food! Your skin deserves it!
