As someone who considers self-care to be giving myself a fun facial every day, eye masks are a little extra something I love to incorporate into my skin-care routine. I don't use them every day, morning and night, but rather when I feel like my undereye area needs some extra love, especially when I want to alleviate dryness around my eyes. As much as I try to prioritize sleep, my undereye area tends to give the appearance of perpetual exhaustion with its stubborn bags and puffiness. I've seen the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks ($20, originally $26) all over social media for years, with plenty of rave reviews. I knew I had to test out these internet-famous eye patches and see what all the hype is about.
My one major gripe with eye masks, in general, is that they always slip off my face unless I'm lying down. It prevents me from multitasking, plus, the feeling of eye masks slipping off your face isn't relaxing. Wander Beauty's Baggage Claim Eye Masks are the only ones I've tried that don't slip down my cheeks. They stay put until I decide to take them off, even when I'm talking. The eye patches are unique compared to others on the market because they have a three-layer construction that helps prevent serum evaporation and also limit the eye masks from slipping off your face, ensuring proper absorption of the skin-care ingredients.
The Baggage Claim Eye Masks are soaked in a deeply hydrating serum that helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and gives a more awakened appearance. When I use these eye patches, there's a subtle but noticeable change in my eyes. I look more awake and less tired and exhausted, my eyes are less puffy and more wide-eyed and bright, and my undereye area has a healthy glow. The individual packets make them easy to travel with and use on flights, just like their name claims. I use them when I'm getting ready for a party or an event, when my undereye area feels too dry, or when I just feel like pampering myself.
Just like any other eye masks, these offer a temporary fix for reducing the appearance of puffiness and fine lines, as well as hydrating and brightening the undereye area. If your daily dose of self-care involves eye patches, the Baggage Claim Eye Masks are worth it. I don't use eye patches every day, but when I do use them, the Baggage Claim Eye Masks are one of my go-tos.
The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks are available on the brand's site, Amazon ($20, originally $26), Sephora ($26), and Nordstrom ($26).
