By the way, the current rating of eye patches that successfully fight edema and wrinkles can be found here

What are patches?

A popular beauty product like the patch comes from South Korea. In short, a patch is a sheet mask that is applied to various areas of the face. The fabric of the patch is impregnated with special ingredients, which are designed to transform the appearance in a short time.

Various types of patches help moisturize and nourish the dermis, smooth out small wrinkles, get rid of dark circles under the eyes and puffiness. The combination of collagen, antioxidants, peptides, valuable oils, plant extracts and other beneficial components in patches can compete with serums and creams.

On the modern market, you can find patches for the eyes, lips and face.

Eye patches

The eye patches have a special arcuate shape for easy application. As you know, the skin around the eyes is very delicate and thin. In addition, this area of ​​the skin contains very small amounts of collagen and elastin.

Accordingly, the care of the skin around the eyes must be approached with special care.

What effect will eye patches help to achieve?

• smoothing fine wrinkles;
• nutrition and hydration of the skin;
• recovery;
• removal of puffiness;
• whitening.

The thin skin in this area suffers most from adverse factors. And premature aging affects the skin around the eyes in the first place. Dark circles, bags, swelling are what modern beauties most often suffer from.
Of course, a few patching procedures will not completely solve the problem. The purpose of the patches is to put the skin around the eyes in order in a short time.

The presence of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, useful vitamins and amino acids, peptides and panthenol transforms tired skin in a short time. Manufacturers also impregnate patches with extracts of various plants and valuable oils.

Such express care is a good preparation of the skin for make-up. Decorative cosmetics will lay down more evenly on the refreshed and smoothed skin.

Varieties of eye patches

• Fabric Backed Patches
  The most popular and budget option. Such a patch is, in fact, a wet wipe saturated with vitamins and minerals useful for the dermis. It does not have any mechanical effect on the skin, and therefore the effect of such a remedy is very short-term. But the cost of such masks is lower than all others.
• Collagen based patches
  It is easy to guess from the name that the main composition of this type is collagen.
  Using patches with water-soluble collagen allows you to saturate the periorbital area with nutrients and oxygen. With regular use, it will help optimize the regenerative process of the dermis.
  Unfortunately, the effect of such patches is not long lasting, only a few hours. Accordingly, if you want to preserve the effect of the procedure, you will have to use them regularly.
• Hydrogel based patches
  The basis of such a beauty product is hyaluronic acid. The structure of such patches is jelly-like. It is due to this property that the product adheres tightly to the skin and stimulates the dermis to produce collagen and elastin. This hydrogel mask softens and smoothes delicate skin. The hyaluronic acid in its composition, albeit temporarily, fills the fine wrinkles of the periorbital area. Actually, lifting is the direct purpose of hydrogel patches. In addition to "hyaluronic", manufacturers saturate this type of product with peptides and nanoparticles to achieve a rejuvenating effect. And thanks to the presence of antioxidants, nicotinic and ascorbic acids, microcirculation improves and the aging process of tissues slows down.
• Silicone based patches
  The peculiarity of the application is that after removing the mask, a protective film forms on the skin surface. It is this film that provides the smoothing effect. Silicone patches are ideal for eyelash coloring and lamination procedures. Due to their composition, they perfectly protect the periorbital area from the materials used in the above procedures.
• Anti-puffiness and under-eye patches
  Depending on the manufacturer, the procedure time with this type varies from half an hour to an hour. In addition to its direct purpose, it is recommended to periodically use it for those who are in the sun for a long time without protective glasses.
  The composition, as a rule, includes natural oils and vitamins, peptides, plant extracts (for example, horse chestnut). Thanks to special substances, the elasticity of the skin increases and the facial muscles responsible for facial expressions are relaxed.
• Dark Circles Patches
  The effect of use will be noticeable only if the above problem is not a consequence of any disease or hereditary factor.
  The fabric of the patches is impregnated with acids such as tartaric, lactic and tartaric acids with added caffeine.

Lip patches

As a rule, the size of such masks is not limited only to the lip area, but also captures the nasolabial part of the face.

Here's the effect you can get from using them:

• increased lip skin regeneration;
• moisturizing;
• bright lip color;
• visually the lips look more voluminous;
• clearer outline.

The pads of the lip patches have a jelly-like texture. The material from which they are made is a hydrogel, impregnated with useful substances. Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the material, the lip mask fits tightly during the procedure and has a mechanical effect on the skin of the lips and around it.

On average, a 20-minute procedure allows you to saturate the surface of the lips with collagen, glycerin, beneficial amino acids and valuable oils. The presence of a UV filter provides protection against harmful effects.

As a rule, lip patches have a very pleasant scent thanks to the presence of plant and berry extracts.

Well, the effect of each extract is different:

• blueberries - for firmness and elasticity, heals microcracks;
• blueberries - winter version, prevents peeling and chapping;
• strawberry - lips become brighter due to increased blood circulation;
• rose hips - the presence of vitamin C transforms the skin of the lips and prevents cracking.

Face patches

Facial patches can be subdivided according to the mask application area (eg, nasolabial folds) and the expected effect.

Cleansing patches

As a rule, these strips-plasters are intended for the T-zone.Strips impregnation - antibacterial substances (activated carbon, fruit acid).
The principle of the patch is very simple: pre-steamed skin, on which a patch is applied for 20 minutes, is cleared of sebaceous plugs and toxins after removing the patch.

However, one should not place high hopes on such patches. For oily and problem skin, this is just a secondary care; cleansing strips will not completely solve the problem. It will be good to use in combination with mechanical and ultrasonic cleaning.

Acne spot patches

It is a small tissue patch soaked in antibacterial agents. Most often, these patches can be found with the presence of salicylic acid, grape seed extract, allantoin and tea tree oil.

Such express means are applied to the cleansed inflamed area of ​​the clock at 9. It is most convenient to apply at night, if the day before is an important event or meeting. Some manufacturers make such an SOS patch from a special super-thin and inconspicuous material that you can easily apply makeup on top of it.

Anti-aging patches

The main task of such masks is to smooth out wrinkles and moisturize the skin. Often, anti-aging patches are applied to specific areas of the face (such as the nasolabial folds or the corners of the mouth).

Rejuvenation patches are fabric-based or plasticizing (hydrogel or collagen-based).

The components of the cloth masks differ depending on the type of skin. As a rule, it includes extracts of herbs, algae, snail mucin and other natural substances.

Plasticizing patches are more effective than fabric patches. The presence of hyaluronic and ascorbic acids, plant and essential oils, peptides, collagen and vitamins contributes to a noticeable lifting effect.

Rules for the use of patches and contraindications

There is nothing complicated here. The manufacturer, as a rule, indicates all the necessary information on the packaging.

Like all masks, patches are applied exclusively to cleansed skin. If desired, you can slightly warm up the skin with a small massage.

The period of action is on average 20 minutes. During this time, the patch manages to transfer all those useful substances with which it is saturated. Washing your face after removing the mask is not required.
It is best to store the opened package in the refrigerator, so the useful properties of the mask are preserved in the best way.

No contraindications have been identified in the use of patches. An exception may be individual intolerance to one of the components.
