For modern beauties, there are many cosmetics and procedures for face and body care. Recently, liquid patches for the eyes have gained great popularity. Let's take a closer look at this product: its features, selection and application.

Liquid Patches - this is an alternative to hydrogel and tissue patches that have become popular recently; they are reminiscent of a mask or gel in texture. But since they are used for the skin around the eyes, they are usually called “patches” - in fact this is simply a marketing move that sometimes confuses customers.

Patches are applied to the eyelid, the specified amount of time remains there, then they are removed, a skin care product is applied.. At the same time, beauty requires clear action. And it is important to do everything correctly.

Patches cool, moisturize, tone and smooth the skin, while having a fairly quick effect. The list of the effects of certain models is quite wide, you need to read the instructions, because some patches can only tone up, others have a regenerating effect, can be used to treat acne.

Liquid patches have their own characteristics. Clear application to a specific area for exposure and economical consumption, they do not slip, do not interfere with visual inspection, during use, a woman will be convenient to do her own business. But there are also disadvantages.

The composition usually includes the following ingredients:

• antioxidants - help with anti-aging effect;

What effect does the manufacturer of liquid patches promise, how to apply them correctly, what procedures to do after use? There are many questions, and they are important. In order for patches to have maximum effect, they must be used correctly.

Before applying the gel on the eyelids, thoroughly clean the face, dab it well with a napkin or towel. Read the instructions for use carefullysince the gels may have different absorption times.

The scope of the patches is quite wide. You need to apply the gel to the area that requires correction - usually it is 2 millimeters below the eyelid from the inner edge of the eye to the outer. Despite the fact that the patches are intended for the eyes, they can also be used on other areas of the skin - deep nasolabial folds, the area between the eyebrows, the neck are also perfectly adjusted.

There is no single answer to the question of how often to use liquid patches. There is a range of options from the first week of daily use, followed by 1-2 times a week, up to 2-3 times a week, daily basis.

Sometimes they use the combined method: the first month daily, and then to maintain the effect 2-3 times a week. Temporary exposure may also vary, from 10 minutes to 1 hour, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

When the exposure time ends, the liquid patches disappear, and the beneficial substances are absorbed into the eyelid. The remnants of the gel can be “driven” into the skin if there are no unpleasant sensations.

There is no need to wash off the gel, except in situations where too much was used. Then there is a chance that the makeup applied after this will roll down. Or rinse off at the request of the manufacturer. After using the patches, apply an eye cream - this will help maintain the effect for a longer time.
