Under-eye patches may be all the rage on Instagram thanks to everyone from Victoria Beckham to Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford, but as it turns out the double-tap-worthy treatment packs a serious punch. Though not intended for everyday use, they offer a “boost” to the delicate area on especially swollen mornings, notes Hollywood facialist Mila Moursi. (The root causes of that puffiness? Pollution, poor sleep, inadequate makeup removal, and hot, dry indoor air—as well as heavy creams, which can overburden the skin at night, she adds.) The latest wave of masks contain a host of de-puffing, fine-line-plumping actives, from caffeine and rejuvenating rose quartz to 24-karat gold.
