cool eye pads
Cooling eye pads are reusable gel disks to rest on reclined eyes. They provide all the benefits of cold therapy just like fresh cucumber slices and can counteract the damage from overworked eyes.
Eyes are very delicate and are often strained due to sun exposure, not enough sleep, too much screen time, and dehydration. Tired eyes are smaller, squintier, and dull, accumulating puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles.
Cooling eye pads are refreshing, restorative, and energizing, making this a powerful spa tool. Taking care of the eye areas produces well-rested eyes that are bright, brilliant, and engaging.
A cooling eye pad meditation doesn’t require much active thought, I simply rest and enjoy relaxing sighs to release tension and zone out, guilt-free. I don’t even have to set a timer because, by the time they reach my body temperature, they fall off my face and look, its been 15 minutes, perfect! Then I’m back on track, more focused, aligned, and ready to be me.
To incorporate cooling eye pads into my day, I like to pop them on shortly after I wake up. Lately, I splash my face with water, splash Stirbee and the snails, start the electric kettle and pull these out. Before I jump into the day ahead, sometimes even after breakfast, I pause for a moment to cool my eyes, relax my body, and enjoy the spa vibes.
A blog post from 2017 entitled $3.99 Well Spent! wrote “Simply pop them in the fridge (not the freezer) for an hour (or do what I do and leave them in the fridge until you are ready to use them) and then put them on your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes. Your eyes will look refreshed, bright, happy, and you’ll notice some of your puffiness will decrease. I’ve taken to using them nightly when I have the time and after applying my eye cream and other nightly skincare. I feel like they make my eyes look so much better come the AM.”
A little social commentary on inflation. Invest in your wellness now so you can avoid time and resources from the healthcare industry later. It’s better to spend your future on a life of luxury. I found these at Sally’s for $7 so the one-time purchase of $7, a daily expense of 10 minutes, and a drop of energy…
for a lifetime of relaxation, wellness, and spa vibes. What a win that these little gel pads have so many physical, mental, emotional, and beauty benefits.
