SKIN REPUBLIC

 

Over the past two weeks I've been using the Collagen Hydrogel Under Eye Patch Mask as well as the Neck+Décolletage Repair Mask from The Skin Republic.

The products are made in Korea, The companies spiel is "Skin Republic is a scientifically formulated, dermatologist tested hypo-allergenic range combining the latest advances in skin care with nature’s restorative properties." 

Both masks are dermatologist tested and are to be used after cleansing and drying the skin. 

COLLAGEN HYDROGEL UNDER EYE PATCH

Is designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness as well as assisting in smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, also helping to increase eye zone elasticity! 

Once you have cleansed and dried your face, you then place the eye patches under each eye but not too close to the water line as it may be slightly irritating, that said place it where ever works for you best. 

After a week of little sleep as well as the ever changing melbourne weather my skins was looking slightly dry and tired (BAGS!) so what better time to try this product out?! I placed the patches underneath each eye and left them on for about 45 minutes, now these are not irritating so you can pop them on whilst you are watching TV or scrolling through instagram. The packet suggests leaving them on for 30 minutes only. As the skin has a 4-week regeneration period, these are most effective if used twice weekly for the first month and then when you feel need be. 

They felt a little jelly-y which was super refreshing & cooling on the skin as well as very comfortable! My under eyes definitely looked a little less tired and less discolouration after the first week of using it 3 times.. 

NECK + DÉCOLLETAGE REPAIR 

This 20 minute treatment is aimed at repairing and nourishing the skin on our neck and décolletage which we often neglect! (well I know I do).. Collagen and CoQ10 is included in this mask which is to help tighten, plump and restore firmness in the areas we need it most. 

I found the aloe and vitamin E included in this product to be very cooling, nourishing and effective!

Once you have worn the mask for 20 minutes and removed it you may notice some excess essence remaining but not to worry- Gently pat into the areas until fully absorbed. 

After using both these products it is recommended that you apply a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 15 whilst using the products and for a week after use. 

I personally really enjoyed both these products, particularly the eye patches and will continute to use them weekly, I am really wanting to try a few other masks from the Skin Republic range: The Brighteing Vitamin C mask to help with scarring on my cheeks! As well as the Spots + Blemish treatment which contains tea tree oil which I have found always works well with my skin!
