Article: Herbal Eye Patches for Under‑Eye CareHerbal eye patches, such as those made with turmeric, are DIY skincare treatments applied to the under‑eye area to address concerns like puffiness, dark circles, or skin texture. The yellow pads are usually soaked in a blend of natural ingredients (turmeric, honey, yogurt, or other botanical extracts) and left on the skin for a set time to allow absorption of the active compounds.
Typical Benefits Claimed for Such Patches- Reducing under‑eye puffiness through mild cooling or anti‑inflammatory action.
– Lightening dark circles due to the antioxidant properties of ingredients like turmeric.
– Soothing the delicate skin around the eyes with natural moisturizers.
How to Use Herbal Eye Patches Safely1. Prepare the mixture (e.g., turmeric powder with milk or honey) and apply it to clean cotton or sponge pads.
2. Place the pads under the eyes for 10–15 minutes, avoiding direct contact with the eyes themselves.
3. Rinse the area with lukewarm water and follow with a regular eye moisturizer.
Precautions & Tips- Perform a patch test on the inner arm first to check for allergic reactions, especially with strong ingredients like turmeric.
– Avoid using patches if you have sensitive skin or open eye‑area irritations.
– Consult a dermatologist for persistent under‑eye issues or if you experience adverse reactions.
