Eye patches are one of the most popular beauty products that everyone has heard of! According to patch manufacturers, these express helpers actively nourish and restore the elasticity of the delicate skin around the eyes, successfully act against wrinkles, and help reduce puffiness and dark circles. But is it so? Let's deal with everything in order.Selection of quality patchesUnder-eye patches are one of the most active home remedies for caring for the area around the eyes. The first thing to do is to choose high-quality patches that suit your skin. You shouldn't buy cheap and bad-quality patches, because they can cause allergies and only harm your skin. The patches of good cosmetic companies contain hyaluronic acid, allantoin, glycerin, essential oils, peptides, vitamins, and many other useful ingredients that smooth fine wrinkles and visibly moisturize the skin.&nbsp;Patches help to remove puffiness in the morningThis is true, but for this, you need to store the patches in the right place, namely in the refrigerator! Cooled patches work with a vengeance, and when heated, on the contrary, they lose their effect. Just 15-20 minutes with cooled patches under the eyes and your reflection in the mirror will noticeably please you!How often can patches be used to be as effective as possible?Some girls think that the more often they use patches, the better. However, this is a myth! It isn't recommended to use patches daily, as some of them contain a large number of silicones, petrochemicals, and preservatives: they are added to patches to speed up blood circulation and whiten the skin.The same goes for how long the patches will be on your skin. Maximum - 15-20 minutes. We don't recommend keeping patches under the eyes longer than the specified time. It's all about their composition - the hydrogel gives off all the moisture and nutrients, and then the reverse process starts - the patches, on the contrary, suck all the moisture out of the skin. In this case, patches can even age the delicate skin under the eyes. Therefore, moderation is important in everything, including the use of beauty products.What patches are better to choose?It all depends on your wishes because patches come with different effects. Some patches brighten the skin, and others moisturize and smooth wrinkles. But still, it's better to choose hydrogel options, as they adhere better to the skin and create a greenhouse effect, due to which the active ingredients penetrate the skin better.The skin must be cleansed before applying the patches. Use the usual means for washing - foam, lotion or micellar water, tonic. Next, you can massage the area around the eyes to prepare the skin for the procedure, and slightly disperse the blood and lymph, thereby enhancing the effect of the patches.Remember that the ingredients of different patches differ, but the most common among them are hyaluronic acid, collagen, retinol, ceramides, niacinamides, with plant components and caffeine. Choose for any taste and be beautiful!&nbsp;If you want to know more about beauty, read our other articles.

Do eye patches really work, and how can they age your skin?

Eyebrows affect the appearance of the face as a whole. Most of the top make-up artists focus on the eyebrows. New York City- and Los Angeles-based Chanel brow artist Jimena Garcia: “It's not the mascara anymore. It's not the powerful lip. It's your brow," she explains. Too-thin eyebrows are back in fashion, but they add extra age to women. So we have selected other eyebrow trends for you. We're sure you want to look flawless, so we've prepared for you a selection of the trendiest eyebrows this fall.The Natural Brow<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_191600424_XL_2_2fbd4e3307.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_191600424_XL-2.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_191600424_XL_2_2fbd4e3307.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_191600424_XL_2_2fbd4e3307.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_191600424_XL_2_2fbd4e3307.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_191600424_XL_2_2fbd4e3307.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">In this case, you don't need to stand for hours, looking in the mirror, with eyebrow tweezers to remove all the excess. Brow artist Jimena Garcia comments: "I think the reason why this trend happened is that people are feeling more comfortable in their natural state because of COVID". The natural shape of the eyebrows is the best option for those who like to be in trend. But to make a good eyebrow shape, it’s better to visit a professional. And before a beauty salon visit, you should grow your eyebrows well - for this, apply castor oil on them before going to bed, which promotes eyebrow growth.Bleached Brows<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_610468842_XL_2_e454ad2a83.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_610468842_XL-2.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_610468842_XL_2_e454ad2a83.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_610468842_XL_2_e454ad2a83.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_610468842_XL_2_e454ad2a83.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_610468842_XL_2_e454ad2a83.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">This trend looks original and will make you stand out from the crowd. "It's a futuristic look, which I love, which is also kind of a reference to the supermodels of the 90s" - says Josh Beeler, a brow specialist at Shen Beauty in New York City. You can embrace this trend in a few ways. First, by special makeup. "You can put concealer on your brow hair, brush it out, then use a clear gel on top," brow artist Jimena Garcia explains. Or you can use a white pencil, she says. And the bravest girls can lighten their eyebrows with the help of paint, but in this case, it’s better to visit a specialist.&nbsp;Colorful Brows<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_84965456_XL_2_9e1015b93e.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_84965456_XL-2.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_84965456_XL_2_9e1015b93e.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_84965456_XL_2_9e1015b93e.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_84965456_XL_2_9e1015b93e.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_84965456_XL_2_9e1015b93e.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">This trend is for those who aren’t afraid of experiments! You can apply colored shadows on your eyebrows in any color - pink, blue, yellow, or even glitter! During the pandemic, many people had time to themselves to play, she explains. "And now people are becoming more fearless," Garcia adds. So, the idea of bold, colored brows might just feel right.Lamination<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_532780524_XL_2_e0bc7e540b.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_532780524_XL-2.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_532780524_XL_2_e0bc7e540b.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_532780524_XL_2_e0bc7e540b.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_532780524_XL_2_e0bc7e540b.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_532780524_XL_2_e0bc7e540b.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">Those who thought that eyebrow lamination was out of fashion, were very wrong! The lamination process is pretty simple. A specialist cleanses the brow hair and applies the lamination lotion. Then the eyebrow’s hair is brushed in the right direction. The lamination effect will last for a little over a month. But if you don't want to do this procedure, you can achieve the effect of eyebrow lamination at home - you'll need only a clear eyebrow gel.&nbsp;A huge problem with some women is that they stay too long in any one image. But fashion is too fickle, and it doesn't wait for you to adjust to a new way, especially if you're happy with what you see in the mirror. So don't be afraid to experiment.
