The desire to look good is inherent in all women, regardless of age. However, living in a metropolis with its frantic pace of life and the desire to catch it everywhere, many simply do not have time for themselves. In this regard, more and more ladies are becoming fans of the so-called “lazy” care, which replaces expensive trips to the salon, multi-component masks and complex cleansing, nutrition and other products for the care of the appearance.
One such treatment option is eye patches. There are a huge number of brands that produce this product, therefore If desired, you can find options for any wallet. Patches of the Korean company Koelf are very popular among consumers.
Advantages and disadvantages
First of all, we will understand what it is and what is the secret of their popularity. In the literal translation from English, “patch” means a patch or patch. And indeed hydrogel patches are small stickers (or as they are also called - patches) that are attached to the area under the eyes. They are saturated with a certain cosmetic composition, which can be different (depending on the problem that needs to be solved). Today this invention is known all over the world, and even men use it.
Korean cosmetics has a huge army of fans around the world. First of all, because it is a combination of centuries-old traditions, new technologies and exotic ingredients, which are often absent in many European brands.
Koelf hydrogel eye patches have many benefits. As a rule, reviews about this product are mostly positive. In particular, most users note many of the strengths of these stickers.
- The convenience of use. Just take two leaves and put them on the area under the eyes. And then take off. No more effort is needed.
- Quick effect. The mask can be used immediately before work or a gala event when you need to quickly put yourself in order.
- Multifunctionality. As you know, our skin is naturally protected by the stratum corneum, which serves as a barrier against the effects of external negative factors. Therefore, often traditional creams and masks do not give the desired effect. Masks in the form of patches eliminate several problems at the same time: they have a lifting effect, tighten the skin and eliminate small swelling, improve the complexion, giving the skin a well-groomed appearance. Some products have a cooling effect.
- Cumulative action. It is believed that with prolonged use of patches, the general condition of the skin improves, they give the face a more even color and a rested look,
But there are some disadvantages.
- Cost. The price of some varieties of this product may not be affordable for everyone - a quality product may not cost too cheap.
- Individual intolerance to some components. Asian cosmetics in general and Korean in particular are famous for the fact that its products sometimes include too exotic ingredients that can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, before buying it is recommended to carefully read the composition of the purchased goods.
- Limited shelf life. Open packaging with patches must be used within 1-2 months. Then they dry out, and the effect of their use disappears.
