Mornings aren’t easy, but your under eyes don’t have to suffer. Discover the best under-eye masks that hydrate, de-puff, and add a touch of self-care to your routine.
If we’re being honest, not everyone wakes up looking cute and camera-ready; I know I don’t. I’m usually too tired to slather on multiple layers of skincare or commit to an overnight mask routine, so my face—under eyes especially—would often look puffy first thing in the morning. That sobering reality, however, did eventually led me to a discovery that changed my mornings entirely: the magic of under-eye masks.
Under-eye masks have become my go-to lifesaver, delivering quick refreshment and a little dose of self-care before the day begins. From hydrating gels to cooling patches, here are some of the best ones that make mornings feel less rough.
