Some of these ingredients are antioxidants, which improve the immune system, vitamins and minerals like A, C, E and K. This vitamin-rich formula will keep the eyes looking young and healthy, while at the same time protecting the skin from damage. The antioxidants found in eye care mask are natural and effective so they can fight free radicals that lead to skin aging. They protect the eyes against the sun’s harmful UV rays.
A Japanese eye mask can be made with essential oils. Most of the time, a Japanese eye mask contains rosewood oil, jojoba oil, and lavender oil. These are known to be eye-friendly ingredients that improve the eye area’s moisture and comfort. Jojoba oil increases the blood flow to the eye area; rosewood oil reduces inflammation; and lavender oil is an astringent. When the eye area receives this much needed attention, it will feel relaxed and protected from stress and irritation. If you have other problems like puffiness, crow’s feet, dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes, then all you have to do is apply eye mask.
There are some eye masks which are meant to be applied before sleeping. This is because it has an anti-aging effect and can make you feel more relaxed. Aside from that, it can also reduce skin swelling and puffiness.
There are some Japanese eye care masks which are used to treat redness and inflammation. Eye irritation and redness can be minimized by applying this eye mask. Redness around the eyes usually happens because of allergies, chemical sensitivity or because the skin is irritated. By using this mask, the irritation will go away and your skin will be protected from further damage.
The ingredients used for eye care and Japanese eye mask are safe and effective. However, if you have allergies or sensitive skin, then it is best to consult a dermatologist first. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, then the eye products that you will use must be organic. If you are using eye mask for the first time, then only go to a reputable beauty shop where skilled professionals can help you.
After using the eye care and Japanese eye mask, you must wash your face thoroughly to remove all the excess mask. Gently pat your face with a soft towel. Use a mild cleanser for your skin type.
