Skincare Spotlight | Eye Masks

If you are looking to erase the evidence of a rough night, or want to look extra fresh and beautiful for a special event, Eye Masks are one of the best ways to make some real magic happen. I have become so hooked on eye masks because they truly make such an impactful difference in my look. Puffiness is reduced, wrinkles are smoothed, and the eye area looks fresh and hydrated. I find they take away years from my face and I won’t be without a stash of great eye masks in my skincare arsenal anymore.

One of the most luxurious eye masks I’ve been treating myself to lately is the AMOREPACIFIC Time Response Targeted Eye Masque ($140 US). There are 16 eye masks included (8 pairs). These are a cloth mask shaped for the eye area. The special Bio-Cellulose adhesive masque sheet is a glucose fermented, soft-textured adhesive made from a light fiber material that adheres to the facial contours like a second skin. They are formulated with Concentrated Advanced TIME RESPONSE Complex™ which helps to improve skin tone and moisture, leaving the skin looking more firm and resilient. It also includes Green Tea Cell Water to awaken and renew the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This mask is the first of it’s kind, using potent first harvest green tea. I found this masque did a great job of tightening and plumping my eye area. The look of fine lines and wrinkles was reduced and everything looked lifted and fresh. I really liked the material this mask was made out of as it did a great job of infusing the eye area with the serum. I had lots of product left over to apply all over my face and neck!

The Patchology FlashPatch Eye Gels($50 US/$60 CAD) are packaged in a unique way that makes them very special to me. Rather than individually packaged pairs of eye masks, these gel eye masks are packaged in a tub that includes 60 eye patches (30 pairs). Yes THIRTY applications! These eye masks are so handy to have sitting on your vanity because they refresh, hydrate, smooth, and brighten your eye area in only 5 minutes. You can just throw them on before you do your makeup in the morning. They have a gel patch format that adheres beautifully to the skin to deliver an intense boost of hydration with HydraSurge5™ Moisture System along with actives like Caffeine and Hydrolyzed Collagen.

The Karuna Renewal+ Eye Mask ($36 US/set of 4) is an individually packaged eye mask in a sheet mask format. The mask is made out of 100% natural wood-pulp finer that allows pores to fully absorb the nourishing ingredients. These masks hydrate with an oil free blend of hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and chamomile. The formula is enriched with peptides and Japanese Angelica to minimize the signs of again, Burdock Root to reduce puffiness and dark circles, and Chinese liquorice and Vitamin B to detoxify. Your eye area is left firm and hydrated, depuffed, and smooth. Available in a set of four or individually.

I think my favorite eye masks that I’ve tried are the Laboratories Dr Renaud Pure Kronoxyl-➈ Eye Contour Patches. They have a thick gel mask texture with a fabric backing. They adhere really well to the skin and these masks give me dramatic lifting and firming results. They help decongest puffy areas and offer intense hydration and firming. I am really impressed by the lifting and firming action these eye patches give leaving my eye are looking years younger with fine lines and wrinkles smoothed away. They are formulated with My wrinkles pro-Retinol, Aloe vera, and Vitamin K.

For and instant cooling and refreshing wake up for the eye area I love the skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels ($33 CAD). These gel eye patches come in a set of 8 pairs to firm and de-puff the eye area with a refreshing cooling sensation. They include elastin to firm and tone, peptides to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, gingko biloba to improve blood flow and reduce dark circles, and advanced antioxidants to fight free radicals.

SEPHORA COLLECTION has a great collection of individually packaged masks, including eye masks. The SEPHORA COLLECTION Eye Mask ($6 CAD) is a sheet (fiber) eye mask that is available in a variety of formulations to target specific concerns:

• Avocado Eye Mask – Offers intense nutrition for a supple, soothed, and comforted eye contour.
• Green Tea Eye Mask – Relaxes, refreshes, and provides a smoothing effect for a fresh, wide-awake look.
• Pomegranate Eye Mask – Reduces signs of fatigue and tones the eye contour for a rested, energetic look.
• Algae Eye Mask – Tones and detoxes to help eliminate impurities that dull the eye contour for eyes that appear fresh and sparkling.
• Orchid Eye Mask – Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and signs of aging for firmer looking skin and a more even contour.
• Lotus Eye Mask – Moisturizes and soothes to reduce the signs of fatigue and strain for a fresh, hydrated appearance.
• Pearl Eye Mask – Brightens and minimizes the appearance of irregularities for a more even and radiant eye contour.
