Will eye masks cause fat particles to grow? How long should eye masks be applied for best results?

When I looked in the mirror, I found that fat particles had grown around my eyes. What's going on? Have I been using too many eye masks recently? How long should the eye mask be applied?

Will eye mask cause fat particles to grow?

Wearing an eye mask does not necessarily cause the growth of fat particles. The growth of fat particles is closely related to personal physical condition, facial cleanliness, and the safety of the eye mask. The fat particles that grow around the eyes are mainly due to the dysfunction of local skin immune regulation, which makes it impossible for adipose tissue to be distributed normally under the skin, resulting in abnormal changes.

How long does it take for the eye mask to be effective?

Generally, the eye mask needs to be applied for about 10 to 15 minutes and used 2 to 3 times a week. However, if you find that the essence has dried up while applying the eye mask, you need to remove the eye mask immediately, otherwise it is likely to absorb the moisture in the eye skin. It is best to avoid sleeping with the eye mask on. If it is a deeply nourishing eye mask, it can generally only be applied once a week.

What is the cause of the stinging sensation when applying the eye mask?

There is a stinging sensation after applying the eye patch. There are generally three reasons.

First of all, eye patches usually contain some drugs, some of which may cause slight irritation. The skin around the eyes, especially the eyelids, is generally delicate, so the stinging sensation may be more obvious.

The second reason is that the skin of the eyelids is seriously dehydrated. The eye patch contains a lot of water. When the eye patch is applied to the eyes, it will irritate our skin while quickly replenishing water, so you will feel a slight tingling sensation.

The third reason is that the drug ingredients or some chemical substances in the eye patch can cause allergies in the eye skin, which will cause some stinging sensation.

Do I need to wash the eye mask after applying it?

Generally, there is no need to wash the eye mask after applying it. However, as to whether to wash it or not, this needs to be decided based on the actual situation after your use. If you feel that the area around your eyes is too sticky after using the eye mask, you can wash it off; if your eyes feel refreshed and there is no discomfort after use, you don’t need to wash it.
