The Scoop on Eye Patches

 

One of the easiest ways to give your skin a glow up is with eye patches. A Korean skincare favorite, hydrogel eye patches are lightweight masks shaped to hug the under eye area. They’re packed with restorative ingredients and give much needed love and attention to the most delicate skin on your face, that is often the first area to show signs of aging.

Eye patches are ahhh-maz-ing as skin prep for makeup or to wind down the day. Pop them on for 15-20 minutes at least once a week to instantly depuff, brighten and hydrate,, and give you long-term benefits like reducing the appearance of fine lines and dark circles. Try them:

• While you get ready in the morning. Drink coffee, make the bed and prep breakfast all while wearing your eye patches.
  
• Before a wedding or event. Apply eye patches post-face cleansing so your skin can soak up all the goodness while you get your hair or nails done, steam a gown or pop a little bubbly.
• After a long workday. Nurture your under eyes after a long day of hustling. Busy workdays can really take a toll. We get it, sometimes we forget to drink water and take breaks too.

Formulation Corner: Vitamin C

 

 

You’ve probably heard by now that vitamin C is essential for healthy skin. It protects against sun damage, prevents signs of aging and so much more. But you’ve probably also heard that L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C’s purest form) is tough to formulate with. Chemists will tell you it’s an unstable molecule which basically translates to: it goes bad quickly unless it’s formulated right. And that’s where we come in. 

Our co-founder Kayla Bertagna oversees the chemists and research and development teams of all Soon Skincare products. She gave us the 4-1-1 on formulating effectively with L-ascorbic acid and she had some pretty juicy inside scoop on what makes Phoenix 15% Vitamin C + E Serum so effective. 

Why was it so important to use a 15% pure L-ascorbic acid in Phoenix Vitamin C + E Serum?

Vitamin C is a fundamental ingredient to good skin health. You hear it often referred to as the powerhouse antioxidant, and it truly is. Vitamin C reduces signs of aging, corrects hyperpigmentation, repairs skin damage caused by pollutants, and accelerates the body’s natural collagen production, all while protecting from harmful free radicals and giving your daily broad spectrum SPF a boost. As an avid user of Vitamin C, it was important to me that a daily use Vitamin C serum was launched early on for Soon. 15% is a clinical grade concentration of pure Vitamin C that can sustain the stability and potency necessary to fight the free radicals taking hits on our skin on a daily basis. The development process was somewhat of a fight itself, but necessary to formulate a product that won’t breakdown, give a foul odor or irritate the skin as so many pure Vitamin Cs on the market do. After all, the best Vitamin C serum is the one a person will want to use every day, and it can be clinical grade without breaking the bank.

How did your research shape the formula? What research did you do?

Vitamin C has been studied across many areas of health and wellness both topical and transdermal. It was important to me to cast a wide research net to learn what groundbreaking approaches to ingredient pairings and delivery systems are available and how they could be innovated for a daily use Vitamin C serum. This led us to an ingredient called DMSO (dimethyl sulfone), which in our formula specifically, delivers the L-ascorbic acid to the deeper layers of the skin. Deeper penetration of the skin layers has less product sitting on the top of the skin, lessening irritation for sensitive skin types and enabling the Vitamin C to do what it does best, correct and protect. 

Many Vitamin C serums on the market only contain a derivative of Vitamin C as the key ingredient. Phoenix 15% Vitamin C + E is formulated with the additional key ingredients Vitamin E (pure tocopherol) and ferulic acid. Why is this important?  

I had always been taught and heard that pure L-ascorbic acid was unstable and difficult to formulate, which is one of the reasons why so many brands use derivatives. During my research journey with our chemists, it was a bit eye-opening at just how unstable and difficult it is unless it is paired with a Vitamin E and taken even one step further pairing with ferulic acid. Similar to bringing in DMSO for deeper penetration and efficacy, stability was a key property in formulation.

Ferulic acid and Vitamin E stabilize pure L-ascorbic acid better. They are very effective in delaying the oxidization of the Vitamin C once the bottle is open to keep it effective on Day 1 and also on Day 30.  So, in the Phoenix formula, you have Vitamin E and ferulic acid preserving the vitamin C and DMSO taking it deeper into the skin. That’s powerful. 

How do you incorporate Phoenix 15% Vitamin C + E into your regimen?

Vitamin C is a morning must. Daytime is when it is most effective and advantageous for good skin health, and it helps add to my morning glow. After cleansing, and depending on the day, some masking, I apply a few drops full face and then layer with our Mermaid Marine Collagen Serum. And I always follow with a broad spectrum SPF 50. That’s another great benefit of Vitamin C, it’s a wonderful booster to a broad spectrum SPF for added sun protection. I am a big supporter of protecting the skin from the sun in any way possible. Skin cancer runs in my family, so I do what I can to protect my skin at all times. Our Phoenix 15% Vitamin C + E gives me that added protection. Plus, it gives the skin a nice healthy glow.

Supercharge Your Mask Routine

 

 

Let’s talk masks. There are so many out there—sheet masks, clay masks, charcoal masks, gooey masks, scrubby masks, masks you don’t remove, masks you have to remove after two short minutes. We could go on and on.  

At Soon, masks are our thing. We love their ability to deliver ultra nourishing ingredients to your skin without getting in the way of your lifestyle. And while sheet masks are a Korean skincare must have, adding lip masks, eye patches, and hand and foot masks to the lineup ensures no area is forgotten. With a few tweaks to your mask routine, you can take your treatment experience and results to the next level. 

Try these tips for supercharging sheet masks. 

• Use them weekly. Masks don’t need to be used daily, but they should be used with consistency just like your other skincare products. Once a week is ideal. We love saving ours for Sunday funday (or those Sunday scaries) to start our week off the right way.  
• Take them on the go. The best part about masks is their portability. They’re easy to slip in your suitcase or overnight bag, and let you multitask with work and kids. Rumor has it our employees can be caught foot masking during video calls and some moms even wear their eye patches in the school pickup line. We LOVE the dedication to healthy skin!
• Prep your skin first. You know the drill—if you want better ingredient absorption, exfoliate! We recommend our Polish Pack Exfoliating Wash Cloth and Mitt Duo to exfoliate your face, lips, hands or feet before applying your mask. But because the skin around your eyes is very delicate, skip the scrub before applying eye patches. Instead, cleanse thoroughly to remove all dirt, oil and makeup. 
• Apply a serum before you mask up. Our masks, made of either biocellulose or hydrogel, are built for locking in serum and preventing evaporation of ingredients. Biocellulose is a natural fiber that can absorb up to 100x it’s dry weight, which means it can be drenched in serum and won’t dry out during use. Micro-hole hydrogel adheres to your facial curves without slipping out of place, pressing ingredients past the first layer of the skin. Boost your results by applying a serum before applying your sheet mask -- that ensures you’re getting the most out of that product.
• Cool for extra de-puffing. We love this tip for eye patches. Place your eye product in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes then apply the cool product under your eye patches for mega de-puffing and brightening. 
• Remember your forgotten areas. Masks aren’t just for your face anymore. Try pairing our fan favorite Bioceullose Anti-Aging Face Mask with eye patches or a lip mask. And for those times when you’re propped in front of the television enjoying a glass of wine, add in a foot or hand mask as an extra treat. Pop some gloves or socks on, take the treatment to bed and wake up with super soft hands and feet.

Lip Masking 101

 

Dry, cracked lips are never fun, but a lip mask? That is our idea of fun. Our hydrogel lip masks are a Korean skincare favorite, using lightweight, comfortable sheets infused with lip-loving ingredients like aloe and allantoin that improve moisture retention all day and all night. 

Our Strawberry Lip Masks with Collagen also have, you guessed it, strawberry to reduce dark spots and wrinkles, and give your lips a dose of vitamin C. Strawberry is rich in antioxidants which help fight free radicals. (Remember those?) An added boost of marine collagen helps plump the skin and has long-term anti-aging benefits. 

The Hydrating Watermelon Lip Masks use watermelon, which not only hydrates the skin but also helps seal moisture in for long-lasting hydration. The addition of niacinamide increases cell turnover, an essential process for anti-aging. Lip masks are good for all skin types, so you can’t go wrong with these K-skincare products. 

So, when do you use a lip mask? Try it: 

• In the morning. Ever heard the advice to drink 8 oz. of water upon waking to replenish your body’s hydration? Your lips (and the rest of your skin!) need the same attention. After cleansing your face, apply a lip mask and restore any loss of moisture during your good night’s sleep. 
•  
• Right before bed. Air is typically cooler and drier overnight which can lead to dry, cracked lips in the morning. Giving your skin an extra boost of hydration before bed should reduce any discomfort during the night and in the morning. 
• In the bath. While you soak, the heat from the water should help open up your pores and allow for better absorption of hydrating and anti-aging ingredients. Apply your lip mask, sit back and relax.
• Before an event. Incorporate a lip mask into your prep process for a date night, party or any other special outing. Your lip products will apply better and last longer on smooth, hydrated lips. 

Now through Feb. 28, 2021, pucker up with a free jar of Strawberry Lip Masks with Collagen ($38 value) with any $75+ purchase. Add the lip mask to your cart and use code LIPLOVE at checkout.
