Here’s what to consider when using Gel Eye Pads on sensitive skin:
Check the Ingredients List
Hypoallergenic Formula: Our pads are free from common irritants such as fragrances, alcohol, parabens, and synthetic dyes, which can cause irritation in sensitive skin.
Soothing Ingredients: Choose eye pads that contain soothing and calming ingredients. These ingredients can help reduce inflammation, calm redness, and soothe the skin.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Be cautious of eye pads that contain harsh chemicals or strong preservatives. Opt for products with natural and gentle ingredients to reduce the likelihood of adverse reactions.
Perform a Patch Test
Safety First: Before using the Gel Eye Pads on your sensitive eye area, conduct a patch test. Apply a small amount of the serum from the eye pads to a less sensitive area of your skin, such as the inside of your wrist or behind your ear, and wait 24 hours to see if any reaction occurs. If no irritation or redness appears, it is likely safe to use the product on your eyes.
Monitor for Reactions: Even if the patch test is successful, monitor your skin for any signs of irritation or discomfort when using the eye pads for the first time. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately.
Use As Directed
Follow Usage Instructions: Adhere to the recommended usage instructions. Overuse of eye pads can potentially lead to sensitivity or irritation. Typically, our eye pads are meant to be used 1-2 times per week or as needed.
Duration: Do not leave the eye pads on for longer than the recommended time, usually between 10-20 minutes. Extended use may increase the risk of irritation, especially for sensitive skin.
Prep and Post-Use Care
Cleanse Gently: Before applying the eye pads, use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oils from your face, especially around the eyes. This ensures the area is clean and free from potential irritants.
Hydrate and Protect: After removing the eye pads, gently massage any remaining serum into the skin. Follow up with a lightweight eye cream to lock in moisture and provide additional hydration and protection to the sensitive skin around your eyes.
Avoiding Irritation
Keep Away from Eyes: Be careful not to place the eye pads too close to the eyes. They should sit on the under-eye area but not touch the lower lash line or the eyes themselves.
Avoid Combining with Other Active Ingredients: If you are using other eye care products that contain strong active ingredients, use them at different times to avoid overloading the sensitive skin and causing irritation.
Consult a Dermatologist
Professional Advice: If you have known sensitivities, allergies, or have had reactions to eye products in the past, consult with a dermatologist before using Gel Mask Eye Pads. They can provide personalised advice and recommend products that are safe for your skin type.
How Can I Use Gel Mask Eye pads As Part Of My Skincare Routine?
Incorporating Gel Mask Eye Pads into your skincare routine can provide targeted benefits to the delicate skin around your eyes, such as reducing puffiness, minimising dark circles, and smoothing fine lines. Here’s how you can effectively use these eye pads as part of your regular skincare regimen:
Cleanse Your Face
Start with a Clean Slate: Begin your skincare routine by thoroughly cleansing your face. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove makeup, dirt, oil, and any impurities. This ensures that your skin is clean and ready to absorb the beneficial ingredients from the eye pads.
Double Cleanse (If Needed): If you wear heavy makeup or sunscreen, consider using a double cleansing method—first with an oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser.
Apply Toner (Optional)
Prepare the Skin: After cleansing, you can apply a toner to balance your skin’s pH levels and prepare it for better absorption of skincare products. Choose a gentle, hydrating toner, especially around the delicate eye area.
Use the Gel Mask Eye Pads
Carefully Apply the Eye Pads: Gently remove the eye pads from the packaging and place them under your eyes, aligning them with the contours of your eye area. Make sure they are positioned comfortably and making contact with the skin.
Leave On for 10-20 Minutes: Allow the eye pads to sit on your skin for the recommended time, typically between 10 to 20 minutes. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin and provide their full benefits. Use this time to relax and enjoy a moment of self-care.
Remove the Eye Pads
Gently Peel Off: After the time has elapsed, carefully remove the eye pads and discard them. Use gentle pressure when peeling off the pads to avoid pulling or stretching the delicate skin around your eyes.
Massage in the Serum: Using your fingertips, gently pat and massage any remaining serum from the eye pads into the skin around your eyes. This helps to enhance absorption and maximise the benefits of the ingredients.
Continue with Your Skincare Routine
Apply Eye Cream: After using the eye pads, apply a small amount of your regular eye cream. This step helps to lock in moisture and provides additional nourishment and protection to the eye area. Gently tap the eye cream using your ring finger to avoid applying too much pressure.
Apply Serums: If you use facial serums (e.g., hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or anti-aging serums), apply them to the rest of your face after removing the eye pads. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin effectively.
Moisturise
Seal in Hydration: Apply your favorite moisturiser to lock in hydration and create a barrier that protects your skin throughout the day or night. Be sure to apply it to your face and neck for overall skin hydration and care.
Sun Protection (Morning Routine)
Use Sunscreen: If you are using the eye pads as part of your morning routine, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sun protection is crucial to prevent UV damage, which can lead to premature aging and pigmentation.
Use Regularly for Best Results
1-2 Times Per Week: For optimal results, incorporate Gel Mask Eye Pads into your skincare routine 1-2 times per week or as recommended by the product instructions. Using them consistently will help maintain the health and appearance of the skin around your eyes.
Before Special Occasions: You can also use these eye pads before special events or occasions to give your eyes a quick pick-me-up, making them look refreshed, awake, and radiant.
Store Properly
Keep Cool: Store your eye pads in a cool, dry place. For an extra refreshing experience, you can store them in the refrigerator. The cool temperature will enhance the soothing and depuffing effects of the eye pads.
