If you shake your head in disbelief hearing about someone’s 24-step skincare routine, you’re not the only one. Most of us just don’t have time for that. I do what I can to use peel-off masks and sheet masks in my weekly routine, but the extra “work” it takes off the excess product can be kind of annoying. Plus, I always end up getting clay mask stuck in my hair.
Sometimes I come through on the full skincare routine and other times I fall short. Even so, I am all about the little luxuries and strive to multi-task whenever I can. That’s why I wear under eye patches twice a day. Instead of cutting into my regular routine, I just keep them on while I do other things, which is the beauty of those work-from-home, audio-only calls. I am always moisturizing and I’m always on task.
After I wash my face in the morning, I put under eye gels on, keeping them there while I sip on my morning coffee and start my work day. When I’m not working, I have to admit that I’m not the best at winding down and actually resting, but without fail, I put under eye patches on my face every night. Whether I’m staying up late watching a true crime documentary or getting ahead on work, I am hydrating the under eye area at the same time.
Under patches are the little bit of luxury, relaxation, and hydration that I can indulge in twice a day, mess-free. I love trying out different eye gels. At this point, I’ve tried many of them and I have a lot of opinions. I decided to share my ultimate guide that addresses different prices points and specific skincare concerns.
