If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Wow, I look tired”—even after a full night’s sleep—you’re not alone. Puffy eyes, dark circles, and fine lines can make you look more exhausted than you feel.
The fix? A good eye mask (and the right routine to use it). Whether you’re dealing with under-eye puffiness, dullness, or dryness, adding eye masks into your skincare can make your whole face look fresher and more awake.
Why Eye Masks Are a Game-Changer for Under-Eye Care
Your under-eye skin is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, which means it needs extra TLC. Eye masks work by delivering targeted hydration, brightening ingredients, and soothing botanicals exactly where you need them most.
They can help:
-
Reduce puffiness and swelling
-
Brighten dark circles
-
Plump fine lines and wrinkles
-
Hydrate and soften dry, tired skin
Step-by-Step: How to Use Eye Masks for Best Results
Step 1: Start with Clean Skin
Always begin with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, SPF, and dirt. This ensures the eye mask’s active ingredients can sink in properly.
Step 2: Apply Your Eye Mask
Place the masks under each eye, making sure they adhere well to the skin. Pro tip: Store them in the fridge for a cooling, de-puffing effect.
Step 3: Let the Ingredients Do Their Work
Most eye masks work best when left on for 10–20 minutes. Use this time to relax—scroll TikTok, sip coffee, or meditate.
Step 4: Massage in the Serum
When you remove the masks, don’t wipe away the excess serum. Gently tap it into your skin with your ring finger for maximum absorption.
Extra Tips for Brighter Under-Eyes
-
Get 7–9 hours of sleep each night to prevent puffiness.
-
Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration (which makes fine lines more visible).
-
Wear SPF daily—UV damage is a major cause of dark circles and under-eye wrinkles.
