As much as we love classic catch-all beauty products like the iconic eight-hour cream (which we use to treat chapped skin, de-frizz flyways, and condition our cuticles, just to name a few), things finally got interesting when skincare became totally customizable. We can pick ingredients that are hyper-specific to skin concern and localize application to the tiniest problem area—which brings us to beauty patches. It all started with pimple patches, which cover, treat, and soothe blemishes overnight while you sleep. Now you won’t find a skin concern you can’t patch up like a souped-up Band-Aid.It’s actually as easy as 1, 2, 3: Apply, go to sleep (or make your coffee!), and reap the beautified benefits. Bust those pesky blackheads, de-puff those eye bags, banish every soul-crushing blemish, and plump those dry, crusty lips. Ever the multi-taskers, we’ll admit to using more than one (three?) at the same time, if duty calls.If only more serious matters could be solved with a handy-dandy patch, we’d have it all. For now, we’ll settle for blemish-free skin, brightened-up eyes, plumped lips, and a firmer neck. Follow this guide to find the perfect skincare patch to fit your needs, and call us in the morning with rave reviews.
