All about lip patches

Lips - “finicky” area of ​​the face that needs special care. If you do not give her due attention, she will begin to “give out” age. Careful care is necessary because thin skin on the lips negatively reacts to cold, heat, wind, stress, lack of vitamins. To maintain the health, youth and beauty of this part of the female image, many means have been created. In the article we will talk about patches - a new type of beauty cosmetics.

Lip patches - masks in the form of wet jelly patches. The basis of most of their species is hydrogel, a transparent agent reminiscent of silicone in structure and consistency. Patches are made in the form of large lips, due to which such "pads" are able to cover not only the lips, but also the skin around them. They have a sticky layer. Thanks to the tight fit, all components included in the mask penetrate deep into the problem area and have a beneficial effect on its condition.

Patches can have a different composition. They mainly contain different moisturizing components:

• hyaluronic acid;
• collagen;
• glycerol.

Manufacturers often include masks natural extracts of berries and plants (extracts from strawberries, blueberries, blueberries, peony root are most often used). Depending on the variety, patches may also contain amino acids, vitamins, natural oils, and other beneficial ingredients.

Patches contain nutrients, thanks to which they saturate the lips with various components. As a result:

• lips and skin around acquire a healthier color, “juiciness” and softness;
• healing of small cracks occurs, problem areas become well-groomed;
• the natural skin protection is activated, making it less susceptible to various negative factors (for example, UV rays, winds, low temperatures);
• the water balance is normalized, the lips become hydrated, the feeling of “tightness” disappears.

Patches help fight some cosmetic problems - they eliminate peeling and skin irritation. As well as such masks stimulate the body's natural production of elastin and collagen, due to which small wrinkles are gradually smoothed out.

Lip patches are available in a wide range. They are classified according to purpose and are:

• moisturizing - to quickly saturate the skin with moisture, eliminate wrinkles;
• smoothing - with the effect of lifting;
• nourishing - saturating the skin and lips with useful components to maintain their health and beauty;
• for lip augmentation.

Patches can also be divided depending on the type of base used.

1. Collagenic. Such masks contain water-soluble collagen. The action of these pads is to smooth small wrinkles.
2. Silicone. These patches after use form a thin layer - a film. It reliably protects the skin of the lips from various adverse external influences. On such a “shell” makeup falls more evenly.
3. Hydrogel. Typically, these products contain a large amount of hyaluronic acid.

Lip patches from Korea are especially popular among women of all ages, at the same time, the products of several companies are of high quality.

• Kocostar. A company offering consumers hydrogel patches for lips with moisturizing and nourishing effects. These tools do an excellent job of caring for and restoring problem areas.

Before buying hydrogel or collagen lip patches, you need to familiarize yourself with a number of recommendations. They will help you make the right choice.

1. The number of masks. Funds are sold both individually and in a few pieces. There are packages in which there are 60 or more patches. Such options are more suitable for use in salons.
2. Manufacturer Reputation. It is best to give preference to products of a well-known brand, which has already managed to establish itself in the market.
3. Destination. Patches are selected based on the problem they need to solve. For example, for care you need to use nourishing masks, for regeneration of damaged skin and lips - restoring, to smooth wrinkles - collagen.

Patches are recommended for use at home. A pair of silicone pads designed for one use. Beauticians recommend resorting to the use of masks courses. With peeling lips, a feeling of tightness, they should be moistened 2 times a week for 3 months. If gel pads are needed to nourish the skin, patches are used no more than 2-3 times a month.

To achieve the best result, you need to use patches correctly. There are several important recommendations for use.

1. Before fixing the pads you need to apply a scrub on the lips and skin, massage gently. Such actions will help cleanse the pores for better penetration of the nutritional components of the mask into the subcutaneous layers.
2. Patches stick on clean and dry skin. You need to hold the product for about 15-25 minutes (the exact time is indicated in the instructions for use).
3. After time, the gel pad carefully peel off, and rub the remaining product into the skin with the help of smooth light pops with your fingers.

Note! Many people think that the longer the patch affects the skin, the better the cosmetic effect. However, this opinion is erroneous. Gel masks are able to give nutrients and moisture for no more than 30-40 minutes, after which there is a "reverse effect".

Mostly lip patches have positive reviews. Thousands of women have already “experienced” these cosmetic products. Judging by the reviews of customers, such masks perfectly nourish and moisturize the skin. They quickly heal cracks, eliminate peeling, and help smooth fine wrinkles. All cosmetics have a pleasant aroma, it is quickly absorbed and does not stick. During use, consumers did not notice discomfort in the form of burning or tingling sensations.

There are some disadvantages that buyers noticed, for example:

• weak fit of the patch to the lips and skin, due to which the pillow constantly "tends" to slide down;
• lack of information on the composition in Russian;
• low percentage of collagen and hyaluronic acid;
• high cost.
