How to Use Eye Masks the Right Way (and Why They Might Not Be Working for You)

We all want that bright-eyed, well-rested look—even when we’re running on three hours of sleep and too much caffeine. Enter: eye masks, the under-eye pick-me-up that promises to de-puff, hydrate, and smooth.

But here’s the thing: if your eye masks aren’t working the way you hoped, it’s probably not the product—it’s the method. Let’s fix that.

👁️ First—Why Use Eye Masks at All?

The skin under your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face. That means it's more prone to puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and dryness.

Eye masks deliver targeted ingredients right where you need them, helping to:

• Decrease puffiness

• Hydrate and plump

• Brighten dark circles

• Smooth fine lines

Mi-el’s new Hydrogel Eye Masks are soaked in nourishing ingredients like caffeine, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid—and they’re designed to get the job done fast.

🚫 Why Your Eye Masks Might Not Be Working

Let’s troubleshoot the common mistakes:

1. You’re using them on dirty skin.
Eye masks should always go on freshly cleansed skin. Otherwise, oil and dirt create a barrier that blocks absorption.

2. You’re skipping the rest of your routine.
Eye masks should be part of your full skincare routine, not a one-and-done fix. Think of them as a boost—not a replacement.

3. You're not using them consistently.
One-time use can give a quick glow, but consistency is what delivers real, lasting results. Try using them 2–3x a week.

4. You’re putting them on too far from your lash line.
Get those patches nice and close to where your puffiness lives—but not so close they irritate your eyes.

✅ How to Use Mi-el Eye Masks the Right Way

1. Start with a clean slate.
   Use Mi-el’s Face Cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Clean skin = better absorption.

2. Apply the eye masks gently.
   Place them just under your eyes, closer to your lower lash line (but not on it). Press lightly to secure.

3. Leave on for 10–15 minutes.
   Let those ingredients soak in. Pop them in the fridge beforehand for extra de-puffing power.

4. Remove, then pat in the serum.
   Don’t rinse it off! Tap any remaining serum into your under-eye area and follow up with your moisturizer.
