Treatment for Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes by Dr Khurram
Concealer patches have become the most demanded natural treatment to solve the problem of dark circles, a collateral effect of aging, which increases with fatigue, lack of sleep or spending too many hours in front of screens. And it is that a specific formulation is needed for the eye area because the skin is very thin, 40 percent thinner than the rest of the skin on the face.
Actresses and models such as Jennifer López, Jennifer Aniston or Victoria Beckham (among many others) attest that the anti-dark circles patches are the ideal product. Day after day they also appear in their stories wearing these anti-fatigue patches for the eye contour and proving that it is the ideal beauty trick to appear radiant at any event or red carpet.
Yes, the dark circle patches hydrate and relax the skin, reducing signs of fatigue, puffiness and dark lines. But they do not work miracles (depending on the cause, you may have it more or less difficult) nor is it enough to put them in any way.
Yes, the directions say to apply directly to clean, dry skin and wait. But, listen to me, that way you won’t ‘erase’ your dark circles. You have to try a little harder.
A simple ritual: Massaging the area with small touches or light pressure, which is known as ‘tapeteo’.
The technique consists of tapping gently in tapping mode throughout the lower area of the eye, always from the inside out to drain and decongest. Repeat it 5 times. In this way you will be able to stimulate microcirculation and prepare the skin so that it can absorb the active ingredients of the patch.
But beware! Do not make the mistake of overloading the area by using face masks first. Please note that many patches are made from a special hydrogel containing 24K Gold Collagen Concentrate, Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acids, Niacinamide… and enriched with powerful serums and active ingredients such as Vitamin C, green tea, citrus or pearl black extracts.
A very complete cocktail capable of firming and decongesting the skin, as well as offering an anti-wrinkle action and restoring all its luminosity to the skin. If you still want to put on a mask, apply it all over the face but leaving the eye contour free. Putting the patches there is enough.
Once you have chosen the best one for you (I’ll give you some options below) and after the preliminary steps, it is time to place the patches. It is important to follow the natural contour of the face, looking for the orbicular bone to position the patch well and follow its upward curvature.
You have to start in the area of the tear duct and extend the patch towards the temples, ending in the crow’s feet area.
Sometimes, being a fabric impregnated with cream or liquid treatments, it is inevitable that there will be folds. That is why you have to “make sure that the patch has been perfectly adhered, making a gentle glide with your finger all over the eyecup, always in an upward direction, without leaving bubbles”, the expert clarifies.
The frequency of use and the application time (the one set by the manufacturer) are other key points. In some patches, the active ingredients are in such a high concentration that they can be left on for just 10-20 minutes and give your look an instant boost.
Once the application time has passed, it is convenient to carry out another massage, very gently and always without pulling on the skin! This way you will achieve a complete absorption of the product. And it is that facial ‘fitness’ is a practice on the rise. These massages that are performed by light pressure on the face serve to reinforce beauty routines, and are also the secret to enhance the effects of eye contour patches.
So remember that before placing them, as well as during and after, these tapeteo movements manage to tone the skin and reduce bags. In fact, it is the professional tip of make-up artists to increase the action of the treatment in the eye contour area, and in the rest of the face.
The best time to carry out this ritual is before going to bed, as this is the time when the skin rests and regenerates its cells, absorbing the treatments better.
However, for its effects on the skin to be truly noticeable, you must make a constant use of the patches and apply them 2 to 3 times a week; take a good look at the prospectus because each brand sets its times. And by the way, if you want to enhance the effectiveness of the patches, we recommend that you store them in the refrigerator so that they are cold when they come into contact with the skin.
What will you notice? Well, if you have used it well, you will feel an extra shot of hydration and firmness in the skin around the eyes. The area will be softer and juicier. In addition, your eyes will look very bright.
If you want to try them, go ahead! You can find concealer patches at cosmetics stores easily.
Oh! And don’t be scared if you feel a kind of itching in the area. You may have more sensitive or reactive skin than others, so choose your products according to your skin type.
