To use a gel bead eye mask, you generally chill it in the refrigerator or freezer and then apply it to your eyes to relieve puffiness or swelling. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Cooling Relief Instructions
-
Chill the Mask:
- Refrigerator: Place the gel bead eye mask in the refrigerator for about an hour. This provides a gentle cooling sensation.
- Freezer: For a more intense cooling effect, put the mask in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Important: Do not leave it in the freezer for extended periods as it could damage the mask or cause frostbite.
-
Apply the Mask:
- Take the mask out of the refrigerator or freezer.
- Gently place the soft, fleece side of the mask over your eyes. Make sure it's comfortable and not too cold.
-
Relax and Enjoy:
- Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes to allow the cooling effect to reduce puffiness, swelling, or relieve tired eyes.
Additional Tips:
- Cleanliness: Keep your gel bead eye mask clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth regularly.
- Sensitivity: If you have sensitive skin, place a thin cloth between the mask and your skin.
- Warm Therapy: Some gel bead masks can also be used for warm therapy. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for heating, usually involving a microwave. Be extremely careful not to overheat the mask.
