What is medical grade silicone and does it work?
Silicone is a product that many have heard of and is used in numerous industries, including in medical devices. It is a polymer that is derived from a combination of silicon, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. 100% medical grade silicone stands out as ideal for reusable eye patches due to its unique attributes:
-
Hypoallergenic and Non-Irritating: Silicone doesn't contain harmful chemicals like latex or rubber, making it hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike many synthetic materials, medical-grade silicone rarely triggers allergic reactions, making it a gentle choice for the delicate under-eye area.
-
Exceptional Flexibility and Softness: Silicone is exceptionally flexible and soft, allowing it to conform perfectly to the contours of your face. The masks made from this material comfortably and effortlessly adapt to the shape of your eye.
-
Heat and Cold Resistance: 100% medical grade silicone retains its shape and properties in a variety of temperatures. This unique characteristic allows the mask to slowly warm or cool your skin, providing soothing relief from puffiness, dark circles, and fatigue around the eyes.
The benefits of 100% medical grade silicone eye masks include:
-
Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The gentle pressure exerted by 100% medical grade silicone eye masks stimulates blood circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of fatigue. Over time, regular use can result in a more rejuvenated and youthful eye area.
-
Improved Absorption of Eye Serums and Creams: Applying quality eye serums or creams before wearing a silicone mask enhances their efficacy. The silicone's occlusive properties create a seal that slows down the evaporation of these products, allowing for better absorption and maximizing their benefits.
-
Versatility and Longevity: One of the key advantages of 100% medical grade silicone eye masks is their longevity and reusability. Unlike disposable options, these masks are designed to withstand multiple uses, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
-
Easy Cleansing and Maintenance: Silicone eye masks are highly durable and simple to clean. Most can be easily washed with warm water and mild soap, ensuring a hygienic and ready-to-use mask for your next relaxation session.
