One (or several) late nights spent binge-watching the latest web series and you’ll be saying hello to puffy under-eyes and dark circles, making you resemble a distant cousin of a cranky racoon.

Add up the late night parties, ever-increasing screen time and an all-over lack of quality sleep and you will find it hard to combat the tired and dull-looking under-eye area. While ice-cold spoons can offer a quick fix, an under-eye mask can be a lifesaver in the situation.

The right mask can help reduce puffiness and dark circles without irritating the delicate skin of the under-eye area.

How To Use An Under-Eye Mask

The best part about using an under-eye mask is that you can pop one on while doing your chores to get fresh-looking eyes with minimal effort.

1. Remove all make-up from your face and make sure your skin is cleansed properly before using the mask.
2. Try picking up the mask using a pair of tweezer to avoid contamination.
3. Gently place the mask under your eye and adjust its position.
4. Leave the mask on for the prescribed time (or at least 15 minutes) and remove.
5. Gently pat in the excess serum into your skin.
