Did you know that your yes are usually the first place on your face to show signs of aging? It’s sad, but true! The skin around your eyes is thin which makes fine lines and puffiness more noticeable. There are things you can do to prevent this such as Botox and other injectables (remember when I got Botox for the first time??) and of course creams and serums galore but one thing I love to use on my under eyes is a good eye mask!
I know a lot of people only use eye masks on special occasions or when they remember to use them but I like to use them on the daily. I get a lot of questions about when I use them and how and so today I thought I would share with you three ways to use eye masks daily!
ONE. When I’m getting ready to go to work I wash my face in the shower and use my toner when I get out. The next thing I do is slap on my under eye masks and leave them on while I dry my hair and straighten or curl it…or until they dry out, whichever comes first!
Fun fact- my apartment bathroom is super small so I actually use the guest bathroom to do may hair in. I keep all of my hair stuff in there and my eye masks so I don’t forget to put them on!
TWO. If I’m not going to work and have nothing planned for the day I like to put them on as soon as I get up for the day to combat some puffiness from the day before. I will wear them out when I walk the dog outside or in the car during my grocery pickup, basically as long as I’m not getting out of the car I’m wearing them. There’s no shame in my eye mask wearing game!
THREE. I also like to wear them while I’m vegging on the couch in the middle of the night (night shifter here!!) and binge watching something on Netflix, or blogging, or pretty much whenever I’m just sitting on the couch for an extended period of time. HA!
While we are talking about eye masks I thought I would share with you my current fave eye mask, the VII Code Oxygen Eye Mask.
I love a lot of things about these eye masks but mostly I love that they are only sticky/have serum on one side. I don’t feel like I’m wasting the serum and they stay in place better than others I have used. In fact they are actually designed for overnight use though I have never been brave enough to use them that long.
These eye masks are created with all natural ingredients and are cruelty-free. They are also non comedogenic, and are alcohol free. And if for some reason you don’t like them VII Code has a 100% money back guarantee.
Do you use eye masks on the daily??
What is your favorite eye mask??

I have never tried an eye mask, but I think I want to try it! This looks like it could really help with at least some of the bags under the eyes.
Pam says
I love eye masks. I have a puffy area under my eyes a lot because of allergies so I like to use eye masks to tighten and soothe that area.
Theresa says
I’m about to hit 40 by the end of the year, and I am definitely noticing my age showing around my eyes. I haven’t tried and eye mask before, but it it helps slow the look of aging down, I’m all for giving the a shot!

My eyes are always my worst areas! Since hitting my 40’s my around my eyes feels like tissue paper. I have to give this a try!
Lynndee says
I don’t use eye masks on a daily basis, but I would like to. I didn’t like the last one that I bought though. I will have to try those.
Rachel says
I want to try these so bad. I keep shopping for them online and not ordering any. Soon I will!
Terri Steffes says
So as usual, I am intrigued, but does taking them off pull on that eye skin?

Catalina says
Oh yes! I should try these eye masks too, just to see if they do some miracle for me :)
Beth says
I’m probably too old for these, but I might give them a try. I never used an eye mask before, but I probably should have been! I love that you find so many cruelty-free beauty products!
Kasey says
I have never used an eye mask before, I know my eyes are starting to look tired. I do love that they are only sticky on one side
Rika Agustini says
I need these eye masks. I’ve been busy working lately and forget to take care of myself, especially my skin.
