Perhaps the most effective way to combat wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes today are patches. When using Korean cosmetics, you need to know why some types of patches can be used several times, while others are not.
Which ones can be reused?
Sometimes even the first result is very noticeable. The skin, having received the long-awaited nutrition, is simply transformed:
- It becomes smoother and fresher;
- wrinkles disappear;
- dark circles under the eyes disappear
- the face looks younger.
The effect is very pleasing, there is a desire not to part with nutritional pads, to use them as often as possible. However, the amount of product in the package is limited. Some manufacturers offer customers cases where there are many pairs of patches, while others have only 2 pairs in the kit. The minimum set includes only 1 pair.
Patches for the eyes will bring undoubted benefit when you urgently need to put your face in order before some important event. However, the long-term effect accumulates with regular use of a miracle remedy.
Each brand has its own instructions for applying nutritional pads. Most often, manufacturers recommend using patches. per week 1 or 2 times. The course of use is at least two months.
For 60-90 days of regular use of eye patches, small wrinkles disappear. Beneficial substances penetrate the skin, smoothing it.
There are many questions regarding the use of patches. For example, it is interesting: is it possible to use the tool several times. A lot of pads have been paid for, and after removal, they change little in appearance and humidity. Why not overlay the petals again?
The appearance of the tool used should not mislead users. Manufacturers do not in vain indicate the rules for the use of their product. Deviation from the instructions for use can lead to unpleasant surprises. If the inscription is "disposable", apply only once. There is an indication of reusable use - you can use it repeatedly.
Reusable patches are released by many Korean companies. Europeans also launched the release of applicators in high demand. For example, some brands have reuse.
- Talika. French brand applicators are packaged in 6 pairs per pack. Petals are saturated with oils and enriched with ceramides. Can be used thrice.
- Hyalual made in Switzerland. Nutrient medium includes hyaluronic acid, biopeptides and various natural components. A pair of pads is used up to seven times.
Reusable patches require special care. They retain useful properties and restore lost substances through regular recharge in a special box.
A number of manufacturers of hydrogel pads advise not to throw them away after the procedure, but soak them in hot water. At high temperature, the gel dissolves, the resulting mass is used as a regular mask.
Which can not be used several times?
Do not deviate from the instructions for using patches. Even when it seems that after removing from the face on the petals there is still a miracle cure, you do not need to flatter yourself and stick the petals again. If the manufacturer has not indicated the possibility of reusable use of the product, violation of the rules will lead to the opposite effect.
Recycling will do more harm, since used disposable stickers acquire certain qualities.
- Lose elasticity. Tissue species begin to crack after a short time after removal from the face.
- Lose useful properties. The moisture remaining on the disposable pads is only the basis of the nutritional composition. Skin absorbs useful ingredients in no more than half an hour.
- Bred by bacteria.
In addition, it is simply unhygienic. It's like using wet wipes twice!
How to store patches correctly
After buying a package of skin care products around the eyes, I want to know how to save it. The rules are extremely simple:
- Disposable gel and tissue patches are suitable for room temperature;
- Reusable silicone and hydrogel are better in the refrigerator.
However, there are some nuances. So, the first type of cosmetics can not be left near fire, radiators, in the sun.
The second should be in the refrigerator in an airtight container. After removing the patches from the face, rinse slightly, shake off the remaining water and place in a nutrient medium.
You can store disposable patches in the cold. The low temperature will not affect the beneficial properties, but when applied, an additional refreshing and cooling effect appears.
Beautician Tips
Pads for the area under the eyes are saturated with various active substances. Some of them are contraindicated in people prone to allergic reactions. In order not to harm thin skin, you need to carefully study the composition of the cosmetic product before purchase.
Using patches is not recommended in the following situations:
- with damage to the skin, until complete healing;
- with conjunctivitis;
- people suffering from eye diseases;
- persons prone to rosacea.
First, test the patches in a small area and wait a couple of days. If a negative reaction does not follow, feel free to use the miraculous petals. By the way, after sticking, it is not necessary to remain motionless. Adhesion is so strong that during the entire period of exposure (about 20 minutes), you can do normal activities without fear of slipping on the linings.
Remember that if active substances get into the eyes, rinse them with plenty of warm water immediately.
It is strictly forbidden to leave patches at night. Only the first twenty minutes the skin receives nutrition. Later, the linings dry out and the reverse process begins.
For maximum results, applicators are recommended. since morning.
