Everything You Need to Know About Eyelash Extensions Under Eye Pads

Eyelash extensions can be a great way to add length and volume to natural lashes. However, it is essential to remember that lash extensions can put a lot of stress on the lids and cause discomfort if not applied and cared for properly. One way to help reduce this stress and discomfort is using eyelash patches.

Eyelash strips and individual lashes may seem like a miracle solution for those wanting the look of fuller lashes without the hassle or expense of mascara. A new option gaining momentum, however, is eyelash patches. 

There are various types of eyelash patches available, each with its unique benefits. For example, some will help to reduce puffiness and swelling, while others help to improve the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles. In addition, there are also patches available that help to hydrate and regenerate the skin around the eyes.

What are eyelash patches?

While eyelash extensions are applied to existing lashes, eyelash patches adhere to your skin in order to create the appearance that you have volume lashes. This new product comes in the form of a patch that is placed underneath your eyes and can be worn full night or during the day.

The idea behind that they will make your eyes look more comprehensive and more awake, thanks to their lash-boosting properties. In addition, they are said to help with dark circles, puffiness, and even wrinkles.

What are the different types of under-eye patches?

Many different brands offer under-eye patches for targeting different concerns. For example, eye masks help hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes and reduce under-eye puffiness. Other eye patches help depuff the area, while others still claim to help decrease wrinkles and fine lines.

Regular under eye patches 

The regular under-eye patches are worn overnight. They help to hydrate the eyes, reduce puffiness and improve wrinkles. They are designed to wear overnight, ideally when you are asleep. These will also help to decrease puffiness in the morning by improving blood circulation and relieving water retention. They also help get rid of the swelling under the eye, which causes many of our undereye bags and dark circles.

Depuffing under eye patches 

The depuffing under-eye patches are designed to be worn during the day. They help to decrease puffiness by cooling and soothing the under-eye area. These patches are recommended for those who have puffy eyes due to allergies, lack of sleep, or a hangover.

Lifting under eye patches

These patches have a lifting effect and can be worn during the day and night. They help smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness under the eye. As the name implies, they help to lift and firm the skin around the eyes like professional eyelash extensions.

Microfoam under eye patches

This type of under-eye patch helps to hydrate the skin and promote blood circulation. When worn during the day, they help relieve swelling around the eyes. When worn overnight, they help repair and regenerate the skin around the eyes.

How do you put on eye patches for eyelash extensions?

Once you have chosen the type of under-eye patch that is best suited for your needs, it’s time to apply them. This process is simple, but there are a few things to consider.

STEP #1 Make sure your client’s eyes are cleaned (Pre-application)

The first step is to ensure your client’s eyes are clean. This means that all makeup and oils need to be removed from the eye area. You can accomplish this by using a mild cleanser or makeup remover that is safe for the eyes, like our oil-free makeup remover.

STEP #2 Apply to sore or swollen areas 

Once the eyes are clean, apply them to any sore or swollen areas. For best results, make sure they are directly applied to the skin and are not folded.

STEP #3 Wear patches for the desired amount of time 

Once the patches are in place, wear them for the desired amount of time. Generally, overnight they are worn while sleeping. Daytime, they are worn for a few hours to get the most out of them.

STEP #4 Remove patches gently 

Once the time is up, remove it gently. Do not pull on the lashes, or you risk damaging them.

STEP #5 Calm your client’s eyes with an overnight refreshing eye gel

After the patches are removed, calm your client’s eyes with our overnight refresh eye gel. This gel helps to soothe and hydrate the surrounding area. It is also kind enough to be used as a daily eye moisturizer.
