The intense rhythm of modern life cannot but affect the condition of the skin, especially in the area around the eyes, where the surface is the thinnest and most delicate.

Frequent lack of sleep, bad habits, snacks on the go, over time begin to appear in the form of bags under the eyes, bruises, edema, dryness and wrinkles at a fairly young age. And the further, the problems are aggravated by a decrease in the body's ability to produce substances that are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

There are various remedies available to help with the problem, one of which is gel face masks.

What are the gel masks for the skin around the eyes?

There are different types of gel masks.

The gel substance simultaneously has the effect of a light massage, which also helps to increase the tone, improve blood circulation, and, consequently, metabolic processes

The masks are very comfortable and easy to apply. They are placed on the eyes, after cleaning the area of application. They are also reusable.

The disadvantages include the fact that the beneficial substances inside the silicone shell do not penetrate deep into the skin, therefore, there is no deep hydration and nutrition.

Silicone glasses are contraindicated for eye conditions such as glaucoma, retinal problems, conjunctivitis, or after recent surgery.
