When do you use an eye patches?

[itsstephL]

Fairly new to skin care routines, and I just added eye patches to my routine. Are eye patches used morning or night? After cleanser and toner? Before or after face moisturizer? Do you still use eye cream after?

@itsstephL  I use eye patches in the morning and night. Not every morning/night, though; only when my undereyes need some extra attention.

My favorite eye patches are designed to deeply hydrate and sooth irritation. In the morning, if I look like a zombie or my undereyes are excessively dry and/or irritated, I apply those patches after I wash, tone, and use my vitamin C and eye serums. I stick on the eye patches for 15-30 minutes, remove them, gently massage all the residual serum into my skin, and then use any other serums I need that morning. I wrap up with a hydrating mist, sometimes a facial oil, always a cream moisturizer, and sunscreen. I don't use eye creams anymore, but you can definitely use one after removing your eye patches if you'd like. 

At night, I use eye patches after wash, tone, exfoliation, retinol, and eye serum. Sometimes I apply the patches and then apply a sheet mask over them, so I can wear both for 20-30 minutes and remove them together. I've also used my eye patches on other parts of my face as a spot treatment mask because they're so hydrating and soothing. After removal and residual serum massage, I continue with the rest of my skincare routine.

@itsstephL @You can use eye patches morning and night if you want. you use them after you have cleansed your skin. I like to use them after I wash my face and then continue on with my whole skincare routine. You can rub in the excess serum if you want. I usually rinse it off because my skin Is sensitive and then apply toner, essence, hydrating mist, serum, eye cream and moisturizer on top.
