Which is better, eye mask or eye cream

Some people simply cannot tell which is better, eye mask or eye cream, and always don’t know which skin care product to use. But in fact, these two skin care products cannot directly determine which one will be more effective for your skin. It’s just that there are certain differences between the two. If you need daily skin care, try to choose eye cream as much as possible. This way, you can make your eye mask look more hydrated and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

It is not possible to directly rank eye creams and eye masks as being better or worse. You can decide whether to use eye mask or eye cream based on your own eye problems and skin condition. It is wrong to simply say that eye cream is good or eye mask is good.

It is better to use eye cream every day

If you need basic care for your eye skin every day to prevent problems with your eye skin, using eye cream will be more effective. If you use eye masks every day, it is easy for the skin to not absorb the rich nutrients in the eye masks, resulting in excess nutrition and the appearance of fat particles.

Eye cream is more effective in daily protection

Eye cream is better at blocking external pollution and irritation and providing the skin around the eyes with the nutrients and moisture it needs on a daily basis. Generally, we recommend using eye cream both morning and night, which can not only help reduce eye swelling and dullness during the day, but also help avoid dark circles under the eyes the next morning.

Eye mask repair effect is better

If the skin around your eyes already has dark circles, eye bags, fine lines, dry lines, etc., and you want to quickly repair the skin problems, it would be better to use an eye mask. Eye cream needs to be applied for a period of time before the repair effect can be seen.

Different effects

The main function of eye cream is to provide general basic care for the skin around the eyes. It can generally help with daily hydration and moisturizing, fade dark circles, remove eye puffiness, etc.; and although eye masks can also hydrate and moisturize, they are mainly used for effective, high-intensity and intensive repair after skin problems occur around the eyes.

Different ways of use

The main way to use eye cream is to pat it with your fingertips after cleansing to help absorption. There is no need to wash the eye cream after application and you can go to sleep directly. Before using the eye mask, you can apply hot compress to the eyes and then stick the eye mask under the eyes. After about 10 minutes, you should remove the eye mask and do not go to sleep with the eye mask on.

Different use locations

Eye cream can be applied to both the upper and lower eyelids to evenly care for the skin around the entire eye area. The eye mask is usually used on the lower eyelid 3 mm away from the eye. This can prevent the essence in the eye mask from entering the eyes and nourish the skin well.
